hooooooold on just a second. I forgot teams get 27 outs, not 24

Brandon M

5:07

WE MIGHT HAVE A GAME AFTER ALL LADIES AND GENTS

Peter

5:07

Well that was a freebie

Wildcard

5:07

Of course that would happen when they still need another run

Zach

5:08

baseball is exciting

Avattoir

5:08

LL dong.

Matt

5:08

Did not foresee that one happening

Uncle Jimbo

5:08

His chubby cheeks didn't slow him down!!

Matt

5:08

The home run was *inside* the park?

Paul Swydan

5:08

YES

Mikey

5:08

Springer looked bad there, yea?

Paul Swydan

5:08

No one in that outfield looked great on that.

5:09

I think it is more on Gonzalez.

He's gotta be there to back that up.

Mike

5:09

And so we will see the real cost of changing the lineup: Pedroia will bat with 2 out and down a run instead of Bogaerts every other time .. who would you rather have up then?

Paul Swydan

5:09

Bogaerts

As we've discussed, Pedroia hasn't gotten the ball out of the infield all day.

5:10

He's been abysmal since he came back, and you can make a real good statistical case that he is still hurt.

When people talk about the number of HRs hit this season and how it's soooo recordbreaking, does that include inside the park HRs? And if so, are those also up this year?

Paul Swydan

5:10

BTW, according to Baseball Savant, the most fouls off of Craig Kimbrel in the Statcast era before today was 9. The Astros fouled off 10 Kimbrel pitches today. Mind. Blown.

Craig Edwards

5:10

yes, it does, and I doubt it, but even if they were it wouldn't be meaningful.

5:10

where the hell was Josh Reddick

Show Hey O'Tawny

5:10

I can’t believe you let me change the channel, Paul

Paul Swydan

5:11

Reddick could have been there too, but the ball was in left-center. Gonzalez should have been closer.

Warren

5:11

weird fenway bounce?

Paul Swydan

5:11

Def

Run, Jackie, good lord.

Don't wait to be told you're out.

ChatzMcGee

5:12

That seems silly, Pedroia is still a better hitter.

Paul Swydan

5:12

Not right now, he isn't. Something like a 62 wRC+ since he returned from injury, and he returned from injury quickly. Probably too quickly.

5:13

As great of a defender JBJ is, he goes ice cold for weeks at a time.

Paul Swydan

5:13

He sure does.

Ugly swing from Pedroia there, and now it's 2-2.

Paul, Thanks for the chat. You and your cohorts made for another fun afternoon, but before leaving give me your future expectations for Devers.

Paul Swydan

5:13

Thanks!

5:14

And then an amazing foul on what was probably ball 3, but he fouled off 99 at his eyes.

Mike

5:14

Is a walk the best possible outcome for this PA?

Paul Swydan

5:14

Probably.
