Yeah, any idea why Drury's not in?
Dave Cameron
8:34
Left/right is only thing I can see.
Drury isn't awesome, so I don't think he's a must start. But Descalso isn't better.
Michelle
8:34
Drury's plate discipline is lackluster, so I'm not sure he would have done much better.

Drury was sorta meh this year, wasn't he?
Mike
8:34
drury/descalso have been basically a platoon for a while now
Luke

I'm on a high speed train doing nearly 200 mph through rural China and just wanted to say that it's pretty damn cool that I can follow the game with you all!

Hi Luke, I'm on my couch in New Jersey. Just as exciting!!

Mathis missed another awful curve.
8:38
Pretty nifty start for Arizona.
Not factoring in Greinke or home field advantage.
Will
8:39
Does that factor in Fernando Rodney?
Dave Cameron
8:39
Nope!
8:40
Just generic score/inning/run environment calculation.
Matt
8:40
How much do you think Greinke affects the probability?
Dave Cameron
8:40
Probably pushes AZ over 80%
Chaps
8:40
Do those win probabilities account for in-game injuries? Like, if Goldy goes down in the next inning, does the chart immediately change?
Dave Cameron
8:40
No, it doesn't know anything about rosters.

8:42
How many runs do the Dbacks need to score for an early hook for greinke to face the dodgers?
Dave Cameron
8:42
50
That was a fun slow curve.
Because it didn't go 500 feet.
Cap'n
8:43
Greinke has hung a few breaking balls now
Dave Cameron
8:43
I think that one is intentionally up to get hitters swinging.
It's a timing pitch, not a location pitch.
Since he throws it 65 or whatever.

They should try having a playoff game with a camera angle that doesn't suck
Monarch
8:44
Story a franchise record for Ks in a season with Reynolds on the roster for multiple years, impressive.
Rich
8:45
Greinke's getting away with some hangers just because the velocity difference between his pitches is so damn good
Dave Cameron
8:45
That was a slow-curve kind of inning.
Hans Olo
8:45
Ian Desmond looks good on the bench.
Dave Cameron
8:46
That contract looks particularly bad now, which is amazing given how crazy it looked at signing.
AJ
8:47
The argument against bullpenning? Zack Grienke. Maybe.
Dave Cameron
8:47
If you have a high-end SP and a meh bullpen, then it doesn't make sense.
8:48
Bullpenning isn't for every team. But if you don't have an ace, and your RPs are deep...
