Welcome to the Game 3 chat!

This could be the penultimate chat of the 2019 season or possibly only the preantepenultimate chat!

Let's go, Nats!

Dan Szymborski

8:04

not let's go Nats?

Are you suggesting that you and the Nats should go somewhere? THERE'S AN IMPORTANT GAME STARTING

Walter Johnson throwing out the first pitch tonight?

Matt M

8:04

Give me a phillies offseason

Kip Selbach

8:04

Go Washington

8:04

how serious do you think the pirates are about not trading Starling Marte?

David Laurila

Hello Dan. Hello readers. As Pittsburgh-based scribe John Perrotta likes to say, "Should be a good game tonight."

Dan Szymborski

8:06

There's a lot of upheaval in Pittsburgh. Manager/coaches gone, Frank Coonelly gone. I would wager Neal Huntington, while appearing to be safe, was certainly in danger too.

There are a whole lot of directions the Pirates could go, so at least *I* don't have a sense of exactly where they're going

Marc Tessier-Lavigne

Wouldn't it be pre-preantepenultimate if there's a game 7?

David Laurila

8:07

Not a betting man, but I see the Astros winning tonight. Hard to beat a good team three times it a row.

Dan Szymborski

8:07

Oh shoot, yeah, you're right

Adam

8:07

"let's go" is weird if you think about it. "let us go!" sounds silly

Byron Buxton

8:07

Can we get some polls please?

Dan Szymborski

8:07

Should We Have a Poll?

Yes (32.5% | 25 votes)

No (13% | 10 votes)

Abstain (54.5% | 42 votes)

Andrew

8:08

Which starter do you think has the better game?

Dan Szymborski

8:08

Still have to say Greinke.

Also possibly wishful thinking because I'd prefer baseball not end before the weekend is over!

Juan Pursuit

Anibal Sanchez’s wife is named Annabelle, his son named Anibal Jr., and his daughter Anna.

Greg

8:09

Where are the home white unis??

David Laurila

8:09

Counting the first two games of this Series (and not spring training games), the Nationals have won 16 of their last 18 against the Astros. This stretches back to 2011, so it doesn't mean anything... but it's interesting.

Dan Szymborski

8:10

BTW, for readers, I sneakily activated emotes.

It isn’t that sneaky when you publicly announce that you have done it

Dan Szymborski

8:11

I'm not really that stealthy.

Someone

8:12

Is this the rare game where the AL team benefits more from having the pitchers hit?

Dan Szymborski

8:12

I'm not sure I'd say that. I'd rather have Yordan than the pitcher offense advantage.

David Laurila

8:12

Robles was my (incorrect) rookie of the year pick when we did our preseason predictions here. That catch... wow.

Dan Szymborski

8:13

I mean, Greinke had a really nice offensive season, but he's still like a .600 OPS hitter over his career.

Byron Buxton

8:13

Is Taylor a better defender than Robles?

Dan Szymborski

8:13

I think I'd rather have the projected difference between Alvarez and Kendrick over the projected difference between Greinke and Sanchez.

David Laurila

8:14

Taylor hit the longest home run in 2018, right?

Dan Szymborski

8:15

Coming into the season I'd say Taylor was the better defender, but his VERY SMALL SAMPLE SIZE defensive stats weren't good after coming back from injury

Though Robles has had some really weird angles on balls this postseason

Hire Joe Morgan?

8:15

Dan plays loud.

Bring Back Jeff

8:15

WOW

Hire Joe Morgan?

8:16

I think the difference between Alvarez and Kendrick is greater than the difference between Greinke and Sanchez.
