Ian Desmond doing his best Mark Trumbo.
Lachlan
10:44
that was a baaaaad swing
A.
10:44
Oh no Desmond
Michelle
10:44
Embarrassing.
Will
10:44
Lol, nice hack, Ian
Jhey
10:44
That was at his face
ChatzMcGee
10:44
*That* was too high.
Bruml
10:44
Ray ok to go on 3 days rest vs Dodgers after throwing 34 pitches?
Dave Cameron
10:44
It would be two days rest if he goes Game 2.
go yanks
10:45
That might have been eye level to.. Aaron Judge?
Mattingly's Sideburns
10:45
Taking out Ray for De La Rosa seems odd. And bad.
Dave Cameron
10:45
Well, probably decided they'd let Ray go until he gave up a runner, but since he gave up a runner to leadoff guy, they had to leave him in for another batter.

I wonder how managing in these games would be different if the only goal were to win the World Series?  That is, losing the wild card was not worse than losing th division series---the goal is to win it all and nothing else matters.
Dave Cameron
10:46
You'd see more high risk moves.
nickg
10:47
14 for 27 as a batter against a hitter seems significant. But really it’s not, right?
Dave Cameron
10:47
Right
Joe
10:47
High risk as in high risk of losing the WC game?
Dave Cameron
10:47
Yeah. If it doesn't matter when you go out, then you maximize your chances of winning.
Lachlan
10:48
that was a fantastic bunt
Phil
10:48
Nice play by Blackmon.
Black Beard's Delight
10:48
that's an excellent play by Blackmon - even with the out.
Bruml
10:48
Like the move by Blackmon regardless of out or safe?
Dave Cameron
10:48
Yeah, that was a good bunt.
La Pantera
10:48
bunting is dumb!
Dave Cameron
10:48
Sac bunting a guy from 1B to 2B is dumb.
Bunts like that, where you get a run home and might be safe, aren't.
Cubfan2112
10:48
Safe
Chuckb
10:48
Definitely out.
ChatzMcGee
10:48
He's out.
Brian
10:49
why not challenge?
Dave Cameron
10:49
Good question!
Geoff
10:49
But they're still down by one with 7 outs left and they took the bat out of their best hitter's hands.
Dave Cameron
10:49
Blackmon on the road against an LHP isn't their best hitter.
Sgt. Pepper
10:50
You guys doing a big day long chat on Friday?
Dave Cameron
10:51
Not this year. Our staff is a bit smaller than it used to be, and the traffic for the big DS megachats doesn't quite justify the effort.
Who_IS_Zorbist?
10:51
That wasn't a sac bunt.  That was a drag bunt past the pitcher.  He thought he'd be safe
Dave Cameron
10:51
Archie is efficient.
elbo
10:51
Descalso is the star of the game thus far.
Joe
10:52
So, Bradley could obviously finish the game, but just as clearly they will go to Rodney in the 9th.
Dave Cameron
10:52
Yup.
