I think all five MLB guys picked the Rangers tonight, so I'm counting Arizona as up 1-0 already.

Eovaldi currently proving them right. He looks dialled in

Big game Nate at it again

I'm watching the pre-game show on the MLB network, attention divided, I notice Carl Yastrzemski's on there talking about 1967, realize it's 8:15 and I seem to be watching a whole documentary on the Impossible Dream team, little voice tells me to change channels.

I recognize Marcus Semien--I'm dialed in.

Hell yeah let’s get this game going
― #1 García Fan (H.P), Saturday, 28 October 2023 00:23 (two years ago)
I hope they've got Garcia running on contact this series.

Gallen just cannot get a clean first inning
― #1 García Fan (H.P), Saturday, 28 October 2023 00:25 (two years ago)
God, he's hot--he's going to breeze by Freese's RBI record.
As I will periodically do: Beltre!
― clemenza, Saturday, 28 October 2023 00:26 (two years ago)
Definitely a DP.
― clemenza, Saturday, 28 October 2023 00:28 (two years ago)
i figured out what the dbacks remind me of - they look like a team of pro esports gamers
― 龜, Saturday, 28 October 2023 00:29 (two years ago)
Gallen for sure--I see versions of him every night when I flip past Poker Stars.
― clemenza, Saturday, 28 October 2023 00:31 (two years ago)
corbin’s got that pale untanned look from gaming til 3 am in a basement

Well if we are saying things like that, Eovaldi reminds me a bit of Steve Carrell. I like him though
― felicity, Saturday, 28 October 2023 00:38 (two years ago)
Lol 龜, never saw it but now that you’ve highlighted it, otm

gallen looks like a carbon copy of kyle mooney to me

In the pre-game show, Kevin Millar said he'd be bunting as early as the third inning to get a lead. This doesn't really strike me as the series for that.

On the one hand: Gallen is such a fun pitcher to watch when he’s on and it’s great having new young studs coming through. On the other: Seeing him get torched is great because of all the cocky off the field talk he’s on record for.
All in all, whatever happens in a Zach Gallen start, I’m happy. Great player to watch

Oh they started Alek Thomas? He seems like such a good kid.
― felicity, Saturday, 28 October 2023 00:45 (two years ago)
If I know anything about sport broadcasting, there’s going to be a close up shot of that kid crying a couple hours from now
― #1 García Fan (H.P), Saturday, 28 October 2023 00:47 (two years ago)
Alek Thomas wouldn't cry
― felicity, Saturday, 28 October 2023 00:48 (two years ago)
(I kid)
Ha! I stand corrected, Kevin Millar.)

...which, counter-intuitively, might be where you question the bunt. They gave up an out for two runs that would have scored anyway. If Carroll scores, doesn't matter; if not, maybe.
― clemenza, Saturday, 28 October 2023 00:52 (two years ago)
SPEED!

I’m so proud of our son, felicity!

100% safe.
― clemenza, Saturday, 28 October 2023 00:54 (two years ago)
yes, all the kids are right!
― felicity, Saturday, 28 October 2023 00:55 (two years ago)
Christian Walker just cannot get it going

I've got to believe Texas is a little rattled with Eovaldi getting dinged--he was their one (or at least #1) pitching weapon.
― clemenza, Saturday, 28 October 2023 01:05 (two years ago)
Both starters over 50 pitches now.
― clemenza, Saturday, 28 October 2023 01:07 (two years ago)
Maybe but it’s still only three runs. They can get out of it
― mojo dojo casas house (gyac), Saturday, 28 October 2023 01:07 (two years ago)
I don't know if it's too early for an IBB...but I'd consider it.
― clemenza, Saturday, 28 October 2023 01:08 (two years ago)
You do not want to pitch high and inside to Garcia right now Gallen
― #1 García Fan (H.P), Saturday, 28 October 2023 01:09 (two years ago)
Oh man, that was the pitch to hit
Suspension! (Okay, I'll retire that joke.)
― clemenza, Saturday, 28 October 2023 01:09 (two years ago)
6-7!!!!!!

Common Garver, hit a granny, let’s make this a ball game!
― #1 García Fan (H.P), Saturday, 28 October 2023 01:11 (two years ago)
Semi-intentional, I think.
― clemenza, Saturday, 28 October 2023 01:11 (two years ago)
Don’t show me sad O’s in the World Series 🙁
Oh, what a pitch.
― clemenza, Saturday, 28 October 2023 01:13 (two years ago)
That was a great AB
― #1 García Fan (H.P), Saturday, 28 October 2023 01:14 (two years ago)
Man is just not executing, he was lucky Garver didn’t whack one of those fastballs in the exact same location out of there
― mojo dojo casas house (gyac), Saturday, 28 October 2023 01:14 (two years ago)
Way Garver approached it, I think that was the best possible conclusion there, he looked ready to hit one there
― #1 García Fan (H.P), Saturday, 28 October 2023 01:15 (two years ago)
That ain’t a good stat line Jonah
