  1. Zobrist could have easily had 2 doubles in this game, Javy and Rizzo both barely missed homers It's baseball
  2. Just as I thought, the best pitches to hit Kershaw threw were almost all first pitch fastballs down the pipe Our dudes mostly didn't swing at em, its too bad http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/how-clayton-kershaw-gets-ahead/
  3. I think Arrieta is comfortably better than Rich Hill right now, and just looking at the postseason, has been significantly better and than Rich HIll of late
  4. It's actually very illuminating to learn that the average OPS of playoff teams this year is about .600 - which makes sense and contextualizes our own offensive frustrations. And of course in 2/3 of our games we've scored an above average of runs, so, whatever
  5. Pete Rose is currently making a better argument than Frank Thomas (who, bizarrely, wanted Zobrist to sacrifice Rizzo to 2nd in the 7th)
  6. we win that game if a ball Baez hits goes for a homer more than 60% of the time is a homer and we didn't even play well in the game ah well
  7. bummer oh well, whatever, we lose the Kershaw game. We'll win the next 3
  8. ok Chapman does something good other than pitch in a 9th inning save situation, thats nice
  9. i feel significantly better about our chances with Kershaw out of the game
  10. man kershaw is so frustrated that has to be good right?
  11. damn i really wanted to see them take Kershaw out
  12. damn that was almost disastrous - that ball wasn't in the zone either
  13. uh oh, those last two were no where close I like how this is coming together
  14. that ball 2 was [expletive] but you also need to hit the strike zone after that Montgomery
  15. You realize Puerto Ricans are American citizens right?
  16. My heart grows several times larger every time Baez does something brilliant like that
  17. Instead, bizarrely, Jason sets up like 5 feet back of the plate
