I figured someone reading this didn't know even if you did.

This is firmly an old man comment, but I don’t like the strike zone box and the MPH indicator. First, my eyes and crappy  TV can’t really read the MPH numbers. Second, I have a minimalist esthetic: ball, human, grass. Just show me the box on replay when there is an iffy call. I do like the miced Ump.

Lot of really talented International players hitting the majors by the age of 20.

Are there many pitchers in that group? I haven’t thought about it, honestlyThis World Series seems to be the invest in old, expensive, stud pitcher model. Even Cole is 29. Do you scour the world for cost controlled position talent then wait out the vagaries of life and buy top end pitching when you need it?

None of the guys I'm thinking about are pitchers.  I don't think the current ideas on player development are going to lead to many 19-20 year old pitchers in the majors.  Last hype guy I can think of that was pitching in the majors at 19 was Urias with the Dodgers.  He did pretty well at 19.

Nats are pitching so well it puts so much pressure on other teams starters. This is big for Houston to hold the deficit to 1.

Game on line here.

Old man power! Well, pre-middle age power!

I've about given up on the Astros. Stranger things have happened, but I don't see them pulling a 1996 Yankees on the Nationals.

Does not look good. 

That was an awful ruling. That was an error on Bregman.  

[Chavez Ravine]

They aren’t seriously going to let Rodney pitch are they?
