hello friends it is me, m bison, the president of the "i love hoops" board. i am visiting your country as a diplomatic mission but i will soon create an international incident by declaring that any sport that plays games this long is in violation of the geneva convention and that baseball should be banned.

Eovaldi winning MVP would certainly be a perfect sign of the times. Has a non-closer reliever ever won Series MVP?

That’s how late it is in LA
As 17-inning games go, the pace of play right now is really fast--it's like 1960s baseball.

in fairness re the '39 Series taking 7:05, radio commercials were short and the pitchers threw every 10-15 seconds

That's the point, though--you have to accommodate broadcasters, but in terms of the game itself, it's about the pace of play and all the pitching changes. I'm guessing a 17-inning game in 1939 would have taken, what, 3-1/2 to 4 hours to play? (As I posted during the game, though, to me it felt like things were moving along pretty briskly around the 14th-16th innings...or maybe time had simply lost all meaning by then.)

at least he only threw 6 pitches last night, but yeah, this is gonna be a weird game. i'm glad the dodgers eventually won last night because i'm gonna miss tonight's game, and i'd like to see the final game, whenever it is.

I get that it's technically the first time someone has started a WS game on zero days rest but if today was his regular rotation spot, how much would he have normally thrown yesterday?
Same thing with Eovaldi last night - "He's at 90 pitches!" Well, yeah, he starts games!

If there's going to be celebrity sightings tonight, I hope they can do better than (good friend of Bill Nye) Rob Lowe. I just started Dan Epstein's Bicentennial-season book, which begins with Chris Chambliss's ALCS-ending home run. Seated behind the Yankees dugout is Telly Savalas, "swathed in a massive fur coat." Now that's baseball!
