Carson Cistulli

He was a UCLA guy, right, Longenhagen?

Eric A Longenhagen

8:15

Look it up.

(yes)

Carson Cistulli

8:15

Oh, cram it.

Some Guy

8:16

Eric, looking ahead to the NLDS, what do we make of Andrew Toles? Is he a big league regular or better?

anonymous

8:16

Any clues as to what the Giants-Mets pre-game articles will be about tomorrow afternoon?

Jeff Sullivan

8:16

Zach Britton

Will

8:17

Britton was only warming up in case we took the lead, it's Buck's MO unfortunately

Carson Cistulli

8:17

My feed is behind. How long has Zach Britton been in the game?

CamdenWarehouse

8:18

He hasnt

Jeff Sullivan

8:18

Adam Jones just covered a few dozen yards to take a hit away from Kevin Pillar. Why not play 11?

Carson Cistulli

8:18

The comment was *whimsical*, dude.

Eric A Longenhagen

8:18

On Toles: I think there's a chance but I'd be lying if I said I thought he'd keep up this pace forever.

Dan Uggla

8:19

Britton has thrown as many pitches in this game as I have.

Jeff Sullivan

8:19

Even Zach Britton is Dan Uggla

Might be why he's not pitching

Michelle

8:19

Thank you guys so much for doing this! I'm having a great time listening to your unique perspectives.

Jeff Sullivan

8:20

This comment makes me suspicious

Carson Cistulli

8:20

I don't think Jeff's perspectives are that unique.

Jeff Sullivan

8:20

My perspective that I like you is unique

Hal

8:21

What's the "smart" argument for not bringing in Britton in tie games on the road?

Jeff Sullivan

8:21

The "smart" argument would just be that he's used to pitching with a lead

Oblarg

8:22

Am I the only one who's shocked O'Day's elbow doesn't explode with his delivery? It looks like he's got a *lot* of torque on it, in a weird direction.

Jeff Sullivan

8:22

I cringe whenever I see any decent picture of a pitcher at release

Milton

8:22

Carson, for some reason ever since my dad started reading fangraphs consistently, he thinks Jeff is the funnier writer.

Eric A Longenhagen

8:22

Does your dad talk about me?

Moonraker

8:23

Sullivan, you should have been in the room when Smoak was signing that extension with Atkins

Jeff Sullivan

8:23

I'm legally not allowed to be in the same room as Justin Smoak

Eric A Longenhagen

8:24

Jones: 4.27

Jeff Sullivan

8:24

As expected, Liriano dominates. To the bottom of the 11th!

Canadian Border Agent

8:25

Mr. Britton couldn't pass through customs. Canada doesn't allow FIRE ARMS into the country.

Uncle Jimbo

8:25

I'm getting tired. Maybe we could pick up this game in the morning when everyone is well rested.

ChatzMcGee

8:25

.344 WPA for O'Day, dang.

Jeff Sullivan

8:25

Yeah, we should probably Wimbledon this

Carson Cistulli

8:25

Uncle Jimbo is using reason.

Jeff Sullivan

8:26

Brian Duensing before Zach Britton

what the actual fuck

CamdenWarehouse

8:27

Ubaldo warming up

joseph

8:27

Britton still not warming up

anonymous

8:27

You know what they say. Duensing before Britton, never been sicker.
