World Series Game 2: New Land Speed Record?

[glasspusher]

I don't have my audio on - any particular reason why they're pulling Hill?

Fox isn't giving any reason.

Edit: "Dodger starters faced the lineup 3 times the least number of times in baseball"

Friedman style analytics.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Fox isn't giving any reason.

Except 5 consecutive RHHs, and what VORP said, kind of on the latter.

 

[Blue Monkey]

Great AB by Taylor. 0-2 to a walk.

"I ain't got my taco"

Ugh misquote

 

[SoxFanInCali]

That was a swing.

 

[Al Zarilla]

That’s a swing. Dolt.

 

[AimingForYoko]

Riveting stuff here.

 

[VORP Speed]

Friedman started with a lot of these pitching mgmt analytics with the Rays and carried them over and expanded them with the Dodgers. The Rays are gearing up to go all in on a lot of this, too, shorter starts, more dedicated 2 inning caddy middle relievers...it's why Hickey left.

All aboard the Puig Train!

Thanks - I thought it was a Milton Freidman joke.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

That's not even fair when you give Verlander an extra 6 inches outside when he's throwing 96.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Ump, Verlander doesn’t need the help

 

[Adirondack jack]

Someone will correct me if i'm wrong, Maeda struck out 42% of RHH this season*. Best in baseball. Some hard outs, didn't play out, but it worked

*thought that was the stat they said

 

[glasspusher]

Thanks - I thought it was a Milton Freidman joke.

Hill certainly had that Laffer Curve tonight.

 

[glasspusher]

When a man and a bat love each other very, very much...

 

[InsideTheParker]

Can't imagine John Farrell taking a pitcher out before the end of the fifth under similar circumstances. I hope AC is open to the new pitcher analytics, especially for big games. Of course you need outstanding middle relief.

 

[Al Zarilla]

The antics are funny, Yasiel, but time to do something.

 

[Apisith]

Man, he’s been so good.

Is Dombrowski? I doubt it. Comes down from the top.

 

[glasspusher]

Didn't think he had enough, but...

 

[SoxFanInCali]

There goes the no-hitter, shutout, and lead.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Joc Pederson?

 

[LogansDad]

Ha. Second start of the postseason because he sucked this year.

Baseball is awesome.

 

[Blue Monkey]

I can't believe that got out

 

[Mystic Merlin]

AJ Hinch face is underrated.

 

[VORP Speed]

Joc bomb

 

[AimingForYoko]

Drat

 

[Al Zarilla]

Joc Pederson, from Palo Alto.!

 

[Ale Xander]

And there goes the shutout

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Is Dombrowski? I doubt it. Comes down from the top.

And need to build your bullpen that way. Which isn't necessarily easy.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Joc Pederson?

He homered off Scherzer in game 5 of the NLDS last year to tie it, as well. Strikes out a ton but can crush anyone's fastball if he makes contact.

EDIT: That may have been a slider, though,

 

[AimingForYoko]

AJ Hinch face is underrated.

It is really dopey looking sometimes. I think it's the nose

 

[Ale Xander]

Language

Prom night

 

[Rovin Romine]

Feels like a complete game to me.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Joc'en H'ghar.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I have nothing against Verlander, but the networks love to kiss his ass. And interview him during the game on his off days. And it bugs me.
So I'm sort of happy about the HR.

 

[AimingForYoko]

Get a run, I'm begging

 

[VORP Speed]

And need to build your bullpen that way. Which isn't necessarily easy.

Yep. It's a commitment. Also need to stop worrying about the Win stat.

 

[glasspusher]

I saw Verlander at this game in Oakland in 2011. He was jawing with the ump after the 7th, no way I thought he'd come out to pitch the 8th, but he did and set them down on 9 pitches. Man he was in his prime.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Roberts isn’t messing around,

 

[glasspusher]

Mr Garvey looks like he goes to the same place Mr Costas uses.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Tony Watson. 1 pitch, 2 outs.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Roberts isn’t messing around,

Ain't it exciting, tho? Anyone know offhand how many pitchers he's carrying? (I'm too tired to Google.)

 

[Adirondack jack]

Roberts isn’t messing around,

No idea if Friedman's aggressive use of the pen is the way to go overall in tomorrows game. But this time I year I like the pedal to the metal approach. Perhaps Roberts took some playoff bullpen mgt. notes from Tito.

 

[glasspusher]

um, the mastercard ad obscured his head?

 

[Blue Monkey]

The wall ate the centerfielder

 

[jon abbey]

um, the mastercard ad obscured his head?

And the fucking Youtube ad is still right in the left hand batter's box.

 

[The Filthy One]

Springer disappeared into the Nothing for a second there.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

And the fucking Youtube ad is still right in the left hand batter's box.

Officially, we are watching the World Series presented by YouTube TV.
