    This type delay while a"starting" pitcher goes through his 20 minute warm up is a bad deal for fans. Your guy is injured?, get a reliever hot in about 5 minutes.

    I wonder how many times Dusty Baker has stabbed himself in the mouth or tongue flipping that toothpick inside the tooth line, not to be confused with a foul line.

    It's Correa, in a tiebreaker

    It seems that the Dodger FO ( Friedman?) dictated the starting pitcher and subsequent reliever rotation to Dave Roberts in their Game 5 do or die with the Giants. That included two relievers for the first and second innings , followed by their 20 game winner Urias subsequently. Robert's quote was that he had one vote among multiple voters on that set up. Wonder what Alex's reaction would be if Chaim and team told him how to order the lineup and his pitching plans. In fact, directly or indirectly , via anlaytics input, that exactly is where baseball strategy has gone. The bench coach isn't working out the precise positioning seen in the various shifts and modifications based on the count.

    To win Game #2 try improving on these stats , or just imitate Kike: 10 hits, 4 walks, 1 for 9 RISP , 9 LOBs. A lineup of 8 pitchers giving up 5 runs to the Astros at home was not the biggest problem last night. Regrettably Kike's 2 HR's were solo shots . The 4 runs allowed by Houck, Robles and Sawjob in the 6-7-8th ultimately cost the game , but so did the DP's in innings 1-2 when the Sox could have ripped this open.

    After Kike's bomb, Valdez pitches around Bogey. Afraid of RH hitters, I hope
  7. vegasbob
    That's one !
  8. vegasbob
    Scoring 2 now would turn the momentum
  9. vegasbob
    Kike f***s'em up
  10. vegasbob
    Either an inning ending K or a Salami is about to happen
  11. vegasbob
    No RS hitter would let that ball touch them

    One full tour of our lineup and Valdez is hittable and semi-wild. Should break him in the 3rd.... or maybe 8th
  13. vegasbob
    2 things, he's a LH'er and has a slow curve ball. Instant death
  14. vegasbob
    2 innings, 2 leadoff hits, 2 DP's
  15. vegasbob
    Nice move by Dugo, choked up and went against the shift,
  16. vegasbob
    That ship Sale-d a couple years ago
  17. vegasbob
    Get the run back, hitters be patient-- Valdez may be a little wild, reset by post season Sale
  18. vegasbob
    i don't see the Astros chasing. Nothing new with Sale and we are familiar with the situation of being down after 1

    That chart is a great example of why small sample sizes can be misleading. The full season win totals are much better indicators of team strength, but you better be ready in October or you get flushed quickly.

    In a different context, the 8-1 line would be good odds with only 4 teams remaining. About a month ago, mid September, I was able to get 15-1 in Las Vegas on the Red Sox to win the AL championship. I'm only 4 wins away. The joke is that the NYY'ers were at much shorter odds and would have been a waste of money now.

    No question, Whit really did save their ass
  22. vegasbob
    This was called before it happened, Illinois
  23. vegasbob
    When you need a flyball, Kike has it
  24. vegasbob
    Shaw setting it up for the win, way to go Travis
  25. vegasbob
    Shaw gets 2 Broadways, takes one, fouls the 2nd
