it's working
Billy Beane

Marcus Semien gets pie today. Early favorite for the MVP based on the numbers today. #clutch #analysis #re2pect
Mike Jones
8:11
Grandal: do you like the goo goo dolls?
Kershaw: yeah, why?
Grandal: why don't you slide?
Roger Cormier
8:11
That's funny because Kershaw would never admit he likes them
Poor Man's Rick Reed
8:12
Who's keeping track of ARod's pitch guessing? It's fun when he's right, but I feel like he's been wrong more often so far
Roger Cormier
8:12
I'm focusing now. ARod's game is the only game in baseball for the next two hours.
Sheryl Ring
8:13
Great. We can all be sold A-Rods then.
Nick Mar - Cake is Good
8:13
Jessica Mendoza is also good at this whole announcing thing, no?
Sheryl Ring
8:13
I think so.
Roger Cormier
8:13
i also think so
Nick Mar - Cake is Good
8:13
Poor Marlins Man
Roger Cormier
8:13
He's quite rich actually. Rich in friends.
Sheryl Ring
8:13
He made a $200,000 offer for those seats. He'll be fine.
Andrew
8:14
Kershaw looks more like an Incubus fan
Buster Posey
8:14
baby's Blach ballon makes her fly ...
Billy Beane
8:14
Matt Olson's going to hit 50 bombs this year.
Roger Cormier
8:15
Whatever tomorrow brings, Kershaw will be there
Big Joe Mufferaw
8:15
I like this espn crew. Way better than Joe "new players are not good" Morgan
Roger Cormier
8:15
Are we allowed to bring up Joe Morgan on fangraphs dot com?
Sheryl Ring
8:15
You know? I wouldn't be shocked. I wouldn't *expect* 50 dingers from anyone not named Stanton, but it wouldn't shock me
Nate
8:15
If the Giants win this, I'm changing my Fantasy team name to "Baby Got Blach"
Roger Cormier
8:15
You...don't have to do that
Sheryl Ring
8:16
The funniest thing about Joe Morgan to me is that he is the classic player who is better when viewed through sabermetrics.
Billy Beane
8:16
Over under on HRs hit by guys named 'Matt' in Oakland (Olson, Chapman, Joyce) this year is set at 74.5. What you got?
Roger Cormier
8:16
what about over/under .5 one of the Matts changing his name? i'd go over there
Sheryl Ring
8:17
I'll take the under.
Nick Mar - Cake is Good
8:17
Over to Beane by a lot
Sheryl Ring
8:17
30 each for Chapman and Olson. But Joyce could struggle to get to double digits.
Nick Mar - Cake is Good
8:18
Olson will get more than 30
Sheryl Ring
8:18
30*ish*
Roger Cormier
8:19
Cody Bellinger tried his darnedest to launch that very low pitch
Sheryl Ring
8:19
Dodgers left their bats in Arizona.
Yes
8:20
Do the Dodgers hitters know they are facing Ty Blach and not Madison Bumgarner?
Sheryl Ring
8:20
I assume their pitching coach informed them. You never can tell, however.
Billy Beane
8:22
Joyce had 25 bombs last year. I think he's a lock for 12-15 barring injury with an upside of 20ish again. BoMel loves him and he even (regrettaly) plays him against LHP, so he'll get the PAs to get some.
Sheryl Ring
8:22
I could see it, but I could also see the young guys coming up and pushing him aside by June.
Nick Mar - Cake is Good
8:22
Any info on if these balls are "juiced" this year/day?
Sheryl Ring
8:23
Nick Markakis hit a home run. The ball is juiced.
Roger Cormier
8:23
Only one team scored double digits today. But it was the White Sox.
