Brutal, by Seager

dont swing at anything that doesn't start above your head

Dave Cameron

8:42

Turner missed one there.

larryv

8:42

what does establish the fastball even mean

8:42

And Smoltz pushing for McCuller's to use his 2nd best pitch more with Buck tagging along. Sigh.

I still wish we had a McCullers-Hill duel. All the curveballs!

Establish fastball=throw fastball sometimes

filth

woeful SFG fan

Establish a fastball is old generation wording for "you CANT throw only breaking balls.. right? That's blasphemous"

Show Hey O’Tawny

8:43

As Turner swings right over a curve

some other matt

8:43

definitely don't swing if it STARTS low

Pie

88 MPH curve, how do you compete against that?

Smoltz

8:43

When I was pitching I would have done it all different ...

Dave Cameron

8:44

So far, McCullers has thrown 8 curves, 4 fastballs

Sterling Malory Chris Archer

Have none of you ever played baseball? Establishing the fastball means throwing it for strikes early on so that the batter has a harder time guessing between your fastball/breaking ball second/third time through the order.

Dave Cameron

8:44

We've played baseball, and we've watched baseball enough to know to stop trusting things some guy's dad told us when we were 13.

There's no evidence you have to start with fastballs early.

Scott Wood

8:44

Turner wishes it was number 9

Lawdog

8:44

He established the fastball.

The Hamburglar

Should McCullers even throw Bellinger a curve in the zone?

Dave Cameron

Odds of Bellinger striking out on a backfoot curveball: 94%.

Strange Penguin

8:45

This inning ends 2-0 or 3-2

This is Lude-icris

8:45

McCullers should establish the curveball

Cody

8:45

With how this WS has gone, Bellinger will hit a dinger here

John Autin

8:46

Establish the 4-6-3.

RyanW

8:46

He should establish the pitch with the best probability to record an out

Anonymous

8:46

McCullers should establish justice

Homer at the Bat

8:46

McCullers should establish the gyro-ball.

8:46

He should establish where my real dad is

ChatzMcGee

99%

Napoleon Bookbindery

Good looking curve

Show Hey O’Tawny

8:47

Lol that’s a Bellinger Special

brian eno

8:47

well those are just really good spots

Dave Cameron

8:47

Predictable AB

Bellinger is good but that's not a good match-up for him

Dodgers

8:47

Oh Belli ...

John Autin

8:47

Strike 2 just an amazing pitch.
