Wow great throw by Kipnis

Erik

Does the rise in shifting mean that second baseman have to be better fielders now?

Dave Cameron

8:40

Range matters less now for infielders.

Since positioning is helping them be in the right spot more often.

Guest

8:41

Hey where's the pitcher's spot?

Maine Man

8:41

Maybe the flip side of Erik's question: does being a spray hitter carry more value in an era of extensive shifts?

Dave Cameron

8:41

Yep.

Erik

8:42

Range would matter more for third basemen though, since they play up the middle occasionally?

Dave Cameron

8:42

Probably more athleticism than range.

You don't see guys in short right having to make side to side plays that often.

Ryan

8:43

Hey Dave about a year ago you let me interview you for a school paper and I only got a B on it. Do we blame Eno for this shortcoming?

Dave Cameron

8:43

For all things, all the time.

Hib

8:43

Off topic but I'm gonna miss August on Fangraphs :(

Dave Cameron

8:43

We all are.

8:44

But I'm happy for him personally. He deserves this.

Don't help him...

That AB is exactly what CLE can't do.

Reminder: Tomorrow afternoon is Free Taco day for those of you who want diarrhea during Game 7

That guys jersey logo is somehow more offensive than the one the *ndians wear now!

Erik

8:45

Wow the Indians logo used to be a lot worse

8:45

Eddie Robinson looking incredible for 95

James Cameron

8:45

What do you look for when saying Arrieta pitches across his body?

ChatzMcGee

8:46

Will we ever learn what team August was hired by and what his job is, or will it always be classified?

Eno Sarris

8:46

Does the follow through take him across his plant leg side to side or more along his plant leg. Arrieta comes around his plant leg.

Dave Cameron

8:46

At some point, some beat writer will see him around the stadium or something and it will come out.

tomj

8:46

Do beat writers know what August looks like?

Dave Cameron

8:47

Well he was one for a year so yeah.

Joe

8:47

Why is it classified? Seems weird.

Dave Cameron

8:47

I would say you'd have to ask them but well...

Mike

8:48

Tribe still clear favorite if it gets to tomorrow night?

Dave Cameron

8:48

Maybe like 53/47 or something, but not clear favorite.

Dock Ellis

8:48

Late again (thankfully I got that parking pass) but only missed two innings. Can you fill me in on what's happened? In haiku form please

Eno Sarris

8:48

Cubs smoked some balls
Kris Bryant did hit the curve
Arrieta gas

Erik

8:48

Isn't it easier just to say that Arrieta steps towards third?

Eno Sarris

8:48

okay that too

8:49

Is game to game momentum a thing?

Dave Cameron

8:49

Mitch

8:50

Count your syllables Eno

Eno Sarris

8:50

Two syllables in smoked, right?

Connecting…
