Jeff and Travis, when was the last time you went to a playoff game?

Travis Sawchik

6:18

I went to Game 6 of the World Series last year. It did not end well for the Indians

Jeff Sullivan

6:19

Travis is a real baseball writer. I'm a stay-at-home fraud

Tom

6:19

Byron Buxton=Javy Baez of the OF?

Jeff Sullivan

6:19

Buxton is defensively superior

Travis Sawchik

6:19

Well, I went to that game as a 'fan

6:20

I saw our old friend August Fagerstrom at Game 6

Michael

6:20

I think Buxton has 25 outs above average now.

Jeff Sullivan

6:20

There's another pitch Sanchez doesn't block

Yankees get a break; Twins should have an extra base on that

Travis Sawchik

6:21

Sanchez has some lazy moments behind the plate

Jeff Sullivan

6:21

And yet he's still rated as a well above average defender! Pretty incredible

Speaks to how talented he truly is

Travis Sawchik

6:21

The Randy Moss of catchers

jumpstartation

6:22

Randy Moss?

Travis Sawchik

6:22

Super talent, takes plays off

No more mixing genres

Jeff Sullivan

6:22

Sanchez stabs at a borderline pitch and the Twins have another baserunner

David Robertson now warming up

6:23

Robertson was closing for the White Sox. Yankees might use him in the third inning

6:24

Berrios apparently throwing again so Santana will be finished after two innings

Combined 2.1 innings for today's starting pitchers

Travis Sawchik

6:24

Green has thrown as many as 48 pitches in an appearance this year, according to MLB dot com

Miles

6:24

What do you think is the primary barrier to more advanced stats to entering the mainstream of broadcasts?

Jeff Sullivan

6:24

Not enough demand

Travis Sawchik

6:25

True

And having to explain things and educate

Jeff Sullivan

6:25

Most people just don't care that wOBA is better than batting average

Travis Sawchik

6:26

ESPN should have Jeff and I call this game on an alternate channel and see how the ratings are

Jeff Sullivan

6:26

They would be terrible!!

Travis Sawchik

6:26

Haha

My mom would tune in

That's all I could promise

Jeff Sullivan

6:26

My mom probably wouldn't :(

Sharp

6:26

Are the components of catcher defense (arm, block, frame, etc) split anywhere?

Jeff Sullivan

6:26

BP has them split out on their leaderboards

Travis' Mom

6:27

Ehh.....

Travis Sawchik

6:27

Nice

Jeff Sullivan

6:27

aaaaaaaaaaand they're loaded up. Green might well be gassed

Connecting…
