Triples from both sides of the plate?  How many times has that happened - ever?
Dave Cameron
9:50
Sounds like a question for Jayson Stark.
Matt
9:50
Or Katie Sharpe!
Josh
9:51
What are your thoughts on Travis’ suggestion for the home wild card team needing to win just once but the road team needing to win twice to advance?
Dave Cameron
9:51
I like winner-take-all.
Lunar verLander
Bobert

Marte had two regular season triples.  I love baseball.
Show Hey O'Tawny
9:52
Arenado is good
Brian
9:52
Nolan gets props there
Oh, Berg?
9:53
Arenado with a hockey save
Chris G
9:53
probably a good decision to walk martinez
Dave Cameron
9:53
For sure, with Lamb against an LHP as the alternative.
Greinke's Anxiety
9:55
could Marte circle the bases twice before Pujols could make it around once?
Dave Cameron
9:55
Nah.
9:56
Difference in top speed for runners is like 8 ft/sec. Not enough room for that gap to equal someone lapping somoene else.
Tim
9:56
This game is again shaping up to another 4 hour affair I can't stay up for. #eastcoastproblems
Bobert
9:57
West coast best coast.
Matt
9:57
I think Arenado just scolded Lucroy for taking that pop up.
He Hate Me
9:57
None of the other guys who have had two triples in a postseason game were switch-hitters, so Marte's the first. It actually happened in twice in the very first World Series.
Tim
9:57
woof these Applebees commercials are drying my mouth up like a tin of Grizzly
Bobert
9:58
That’s the problem with these WC games: too many pitching changes slow down an otherwise exciting game.
Dave Cameron
9:58
I actually agree that the 25 man rosters for a one game series isn't ideal. I'd make the WC roster also be your DS roster.
So teams couldn't just load up on extra arms.

Dave, I'd like to thank you for encouraging me to skip a god awful philosophy course to watch this game in your midday chat!
Dave Cameron
9:59
Good choice!
ChatzMcGee
10:01
Fun choice.
Dave Cameron
10:01
D'Backs don't have the RP depth to trust their pen here.
I'm fine with Ray to keep the lead.
10:02
This is ideal situation for Dodgers though.
Bobert
10:02
Dave, do you think Greinke has any chance at the Cy Young?
Dave Cameron
10:02
No
David
10:02
Godley's no slouch!
Dave Cameron
10:02
They said Walker will start Game 1 if Ray is used tonight.
Joe
10:02
How many pitches make Ray unable to start Friday?
Dave Cameron
10:03
Probably more than 10. These are going to be high-effort pitches, plus the warmups.
Bortky
10:03
Well, this is why Walker was held off the roster. I think they expected to use Ray at some point this game.
Dave Cameron
10:03
Yup.
Kyle
10:03
Would you start Godley or Corbin in a Dodger series?
Dave Cameron
10:03
Godley yes, Corbin no. Corbin vs RHBs in a playoff game is bad news.
Joe
10:04
So Ray could still start Game 2 and then Game 5...
