well that was easy

Who is better over the next 5 years: Altuve, Correa, Seager? Leaning towards Correa

Jeff Sullivan

5:20

For me, it's Correa

Eno Sarris

5:20

Altuve oldest, right?

Seager seems like a bit more conventional in terms of strikeout rate, power.

Jeff Sullivan

5:20

By like four years

5:21

Correa, I think, could still blossom into the game's best hitter

Canyonero Driver

Which player on either team is most likely to pass out due to excessive heat?

How can a team with such a large payroll and the best front office in baseball be so damn likable?

Jeff Sullivan

5:21

Plurality of this room is rooting for the Astros!

Eno Sarris

5:21

1) Brevin McGattis.
2) I don't know how to judge likable.

Jeff Sullivan

5:22

There is no measure of likability. Everything is personal

Eno, you might be at the game, but I bet Jeff has less pants on than you.

Eno Sarris

5:22

*fewer

Jeff Sullivan

5:22

I always wear pants to work

It is not unpleasant to wear pants

Sgt. Pepper

5:23

Nobody post spoilers for Eno in case their feed is a bit ahead of real life

Jeff Sullivan

5:23

Sometimes I do feel like my own reality is a little ahead of Eno's real life

Major Minor

5:23

What's the best strategy for batting against Kershaw?

Jeff Sullivan

5:23

Swing early and pray

Hannah Hochevar

5:24

Really psyched for the Keuchel/Kike matchup, just for onomatopoeia reasons.

Eno Sarris

5:24

Imagine if Keuchel kicked a ball from Kiké and couldn't cap the inning.

The Hamburglar

5:24

You underestimate Eno's love of going pantsless

AdamZ

5:24

I am not wearing pants

Chalupa Batman

5:25

I was so not prepared for that hot pants take by Jeff

Jeff Sullivan

5:25

To be clear it was not a hot pants take

I do not have a take on wearing hot pants

Eno Sarris

5:25

I do: I don't.

Kimball

5:25

Since I don't work for an analytics group, I'll embarrass myself and ask: what is the "depth" of a slider?

Eno Sarris

5:25

Just how far it drops!

Jeff Sullivan

5:26

Good job by Keuchel to end the inning against Puig -- fell behind 2-and-0 but still got him to swing at a pitch just off the border for the easy out

Still, another first-pitch take for Puig! 34 out of 36 in the playoffs

50 out of his last 52

Doughknutt

5:26

I believe that term is actually "alliteration". Onomoatopeia is when a word sounds like a sound, like "splash"

Eno Sarris

5:26

Are you sure you haven't seen a Kiké Kiké tho

5:28

someone took a pitch, pushing Kershaw to.... ten pitches.

Jeff Sullivan

5:28

3 of 4 first-pitch swings so far for the Astros

5:29

And then Gurriel takes a heater right over the middle

And another one!

Does anyone know who runs the Past Fangraphs Twitter?
