i suspect that sign is greenscreened?
Chris Singleton thinks the long first inning might mean an early exit for both starters. that'd be a novelty!

Bradley getting a bit greedy there.
That YouTube thing is totally intentional.

yeah the youtube tv ads get greenscreened in there if youre watching on youtube tv i think

oh no i guess some of them are real the one on the left is the green screen

oh, i was just saying the largest youtube play button logo (there are 3 in the image, i mean the one in the center) makes it seem like the entire image is a youtube video. sorry, that's kind of a weird observation and also hard to explain.
also dodgers up 1-0

still a lotta pitches for 1-0

speaking of hammerin' hank, i knew about all of the racist bullshit he had to face in the run-up to his 715th HR, but it was only recently (in an anecdote in the Invisible Bridge) that i learned that his first words in his speech to the crowd after hitting it were "Thank God it's over". it's kind of interesting that barry bonds said something very similar after hitting his 714th to tie Ruth - "I'm just glad it's over with"

totally off topic, i know, but knowing about all of the death threats aaron was receiving makes it all the more incredible that he remained as calm as he did when 2 white guys ran onto the field to join him on his home run trot
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 27 October 2018 01:34 (five years ago) link
i haven't read his book, but it was incredible. (might've been armed guards in the front row?)
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 27 October 2018 01:37 (five years ago) link
i wouldn't doubt it, given all the death threats, but man, what would you even do if you were those guards and you saw two fans running onto the field? run out onto the field yourself with your gun? stay in the crowd and aim the gun toward the fans? crazy

glad we'll see another inning (at least) of buehler. i didn't get to see too much of him until the playoffs, but he's fun to watch. he reminds me of another pitcher but i can't quite my finger on it...

Build wise and the way he throws reminds me of Tim Hudson. Different type pitcher though.
Hershiser had a similar build too, wiry.
― earlnash, Saturday, 27 October 2018 01:51 (five years ago) link
I think Buehler has a bigger repertoire than Hershiser (Ron Darling was talkibg last week about how '80s pitchers got by with 2 or 3 pitches)

He’s saving his energy for when it counts (kicking a first basemen for no reason)

quite a finish for Buehler, assuming that's it.

I guarantee that anybody who played against or saw @buehlersdayoff pitch this season isn’t surprised at all by how he’s pitching tonight. Hands down best stuff I saw in person all year from a starting pitcher. Nasty. #WorldSeries2018— Adam Wainwright (@UncleCharlie50) October 27, 2018

I don't think you can use the Dodger's current hitting approach and expect to win 3 post-season series in a row. Loud contact comes and goes but the strikeouts remain and this is all they have right now.

Also for all the analytical minded Roberts might just have to admit Jansen might be better as a long reliever than the closer.
― Van Horn Street, Saturday, 27 October 2018 03:17 (five years ago) link
a coworker (who i only see via videoconf) told me after game 1 that i looked like a dodger but he didn't know the player's name. i think he meant muncy and i'm upset.
