Rivera Hoffman is in third year I think (didn't actually google though)

Paul, I volunteer to do one day a month for these chats....bcause these should exist every night!

Paul Swydan

9:03

It's a nice thought, but it's tough to ask our writers to do them at night all the time. I only started the After Dark chats because we had a noon chat for every day of the week, and I wanted to have a chat.

"Great play?" That Bregman play would be like 88th on Manny Machado's "top 100 plays of 2017"

Paul Swydan

9:04

Tough crowd.

WHat is this curveball nonsense joe buck is spewing

Paul Swydan

9:04

The best part of doing these live blogs is I never have to pay attention to what they're saying.

does carson watch baseball?

Paul Swydan

9:05

I can confirm that I have seen Carson watch baseball.

Dick Butkus

9:05

Votto is a HOF already IMO... two more stellar years and he is a BBWA lock

Paul Swydan

9:05

He's a 1B with 53.4 WAR.

That's gotta be on the low end.

9:06

He's got a MVP but almost no playoff cred.

The one time he got there his team choked away a 2-0 lead.

Ian

9:06

do you have a different day job?

Paul Swydan

9:06

Just being with my kids.

Joe

9:06

Do you like chats?

Paul Swydan

9:06

I do!

Long Live Jeff Frye

9:07

What current early-30s players are likeliest to have a David Ortiz-style decline (i.e., not much)? Votto I assume is one?

Paul Swydan

9:07

Not sure Votto's knee will allow for that.

Marshall

9:07

What would Kershaw need to do going forward to takenthe title of greatest pitcher of all time?

Paul Swydan

9:07

Keep this up for another decade.

Seth Moko

9:08

How many signatures would it take on a petition to get Carson to do a regular chat?

Paul Swydan

9:08

If you guys had more Carson, the mystique of Carson would die.

John

9:08

Is this game as over as it feels?

Paul Swydan

9:08

I don't think so.

Tim

9:08

Metal bats in the next CBA? It's about time...

Paul Swydan

9:08

I sure hope not. I hate the ping.

Kershaw the easy WS MVP if he keeps this up tonight and Dodgers win series, right?

Paul Swydan

9:09

Probably.

Guest

9:09

This series has me giddy. Back and forth, Dodgers staring down the barrel of a 3-1 deficit, now they have the best pitcher in the world fighting to get a game away from immortality. More twists and turns to come.

Hatzis

9:09

How hard is it for voters to completely discount postseason success when voting for something like Manager of the Year? Will there be any kind of subconscious discounting of Black/Lovullo for not getting far? Or was Roberts a lock anyways?

Paul Swydan

9:10

Those awards are voted on before the postseason starts.

Surprised Gurriel had to flip that. He's pretty lazy.

Votto:
JAWS
  First Base (20th):
    54.8 career WAR / 45.6 7yr-peak WAR / 50.2 JAWS
  Average HOF 1B (out of 20):
    66.4 career WAR / 42.7 7yr-peak WAR / 54.6 JAWS

Paul Swydan

9:10

Right, and I'd argue that you need to be WELL above the average JAWS to actually get elected at this stage.

Especially at first base.

btw why was FG hating on CC's HOF chances in these chats

Paul Swydan

9:11

I don't know. I love CC.
