Scherzer gets out, is going back out.

6:25

Bill Murray out there trying to ice Scherzer.

Matt

6:27

Wait. Is that guys Bill Murray's brother?

Craig Edwards

6:27

yes.

SignedEpsteinsMother

6:27

First time I have seen the Murray bros. in the same room. So Craig Edwards is not really Joel Murray!

Craig Edwards

6:27

this is correct

6:28

Scherzers the best besides kershaw

Craig Edwards

6:28

they are about to be tied in CY.

Seth

6:28

Yeah, I recognized him from Mad Men, never knew he was Bill Murray's brother.

Craig Edwards

6:28

I don’t know he was absent a while doing the song...

Dude

6:29

Why would Contreras show bunt at the first pitch? Looked right down the middle

Craig Edwards

6:29

he was just definitely going to take

caesar_solid

6:29

if you're Dusty are you basically praying for a harmless single at this point

Craig Edwards

6:29

i really don't think that is going to play into it. maybe i'm naive

6:30

should we move it back to HAM3?

6:31

staying at HAM2. and confidence in Zobrist pays off.

Show Hey O'Tawny

6:31

Of course it’s Zobrist, see, Maddon knew what he was doing all along!

6:31

keep him in ... I think dusty leaves him in

Craig Edwards

6:31

Max is displeased.

Guest

6:32

PH for schwarber if Solis comes in?

Craig Edwards

6:32

Happ or Javy i would think.

Uncle Jimbo

6:32

The Cubs are apparently at the leading edge of using technology and communicating it to the field staff. Maddon may well have had info that Zobrist was the best match-up against Scherzer.

Craig Edwards

6:33

i think it was more that Scherzer is really tough on righties, but it definitely paid off there.

weezy

6:33

so much

drama!

Roger

6:33

More confidence in Chapman, Betances, Robertson, or Doolittle, Madson, Kintzler?

Craig Edwards

6:33

the former.

Lou

6:33

Dusty Baker is the reason the Nats won't win a WS

Craig Edwards

6:34

Nah

Korey Cluber

6:34

Almora?

Craig Edwards

6:34

yep.

Ryan

Re: Zobrist and the Cubs: does any team actually have batter-pitcher specific matchup data that is a large enough sample size to be meanginful?

Craig Edwards

6:35

i doubt it given the time that has to pass to get enough PA.

6:35

if they don't win its because they ran into a talented Cubs or Dodgers team

Craig Edwards

6:35

or the AL.

Jucky Bacobson

6:36

Now you've knocked their starter, who was pitching really well, out of the game just by virtue of Schwarber being bad at hitting lefties. Is that a good decision Dusty?

Uncle Jimbo

6:36

The pitcher match up data is for the type of pitcher, not necessarily the specific pitcher.

SignedEpsteinsMother

6:36

That was so anti-Dusty

Craig Edwards

6:36

is that good or bad?

SignedEpsteinsMother

6:37

as I said.....
