Writing for Fangraphs?

I remember when the only reason Arrieta made me nervous was seeing how deep he'd take a no hitter

 

Be that Jake again

 

this was semi prescient and kind of funny since he nearly gave me a heart attack in the 1st too

[David]

I still dislike Chapman in non clean non save situations

 

Same here. I would have liked Strop or CJ in to face Napoli and finish the 8th.

 

I feel like this has been ridiculously exagerrated & id rather nobody get the ball to get out of a jam more than Chapman.

 

same

Hopefully, more SchwarberBombs

I missed Chapman in the 8th. Everyone thought he was throwing 100+ almost casually in the 9th, the guy makes it look like doing that is no big deal.

 

He threw like 4. Pitches in the 8th

Very interesting stuff from Bosio on The Score this morning.

 

They asked him about Jake being effectively wild. He said you can call it effectively wild or strategy. Said Indian bench was whistling and banging bats against polls to tip location against Lester so they had to change up things on the Jake start. He said Willson was purposely setting up in different locations than where the ball was going to throw Indian hitters off. Makes me feel better about the Jake start.

I wasn't there, so maybe he's right, but this sounds a lot like the Dodgers accusing Zobrist of stealing signs.

He didn't sound bitter at all though. He said it's part of the game. He said teams he played on in the past did it and was even more obvious about it. Basically said you try to gain every advantage you can to win a World Series.

Hell it makes me feel better about the Lester start except he was actually pretty good.

Wow what a horsefeathers move. But there is basically no more dishonest sport than baseball. Cheating is ingrained in its DNA. So it's not really surprising.

haha pat hughes apparently spells soler's name phonetically on his scorecards

that or he just doesn't know how to spell it

Definitely phonetic. Look at how he spells Naquin's name. I imagine a lot of broadcasters do something similar.

Yeah, Bosio made the point that the Indians were hitting some Lester pitches that they shouldn't have touched unless they knew location. It's an interesting listen if you can find it online.

This is an awesome read about Rizzo making an on-the-fly adjustment between Game 1 and Game 2 that directly led to his RBI double in the 1st

Interesting was that the double was the 2nd most inside pitch he's turned into a hit all season, and the first was an IF hit.

I can't figure out what he did with Ramirez.
