What's the Pirate's FO's favorite coding language?.......Rrrrrrrrrr

Dan Szymborski

9:34

The Mets code things in pig Latin.

Joe

9:34

Give me Stata or give me death

Dan Szymborski

9:34

Even with Stata, you're still going to die someday

JD Martinez's ankle

9:34

Ouch

Tyler

9:34

I can say from personal experience there is no need for the top of the base to be as smooth as it is

Guy Smiley

9:34

I think JDM's shoe came off. I don't think that was all his ankle turning.

Jeff Sullivan

9:34

I sure hope so!

Joe

9:35

Check back on that ankle in about 45 minutes.

Joe

9:35

I’m an orioles fan. I’m already dead

Jeff Sullivan

9:35

But you have so much international money to spend!

On no one

CamdenWarehouse

9:35

Mets: you want to code? like Hammurabi?

Guy Smiley

9:36

Oh, they're gonna rue that intentional walk...

just boof it

9:36

Soooo Manny Machado is good at shortstop, right?

Jeff Sullivan

9:36

Playable, for now. He's probably somewhere around -5 to 0 runs

Jay Jaffe

9:36

didn't like it but they got away with the IBB

Sadman

9:37

Wtf are these capital one cafès?

Dan Szymborski

9:38

"You know how nobody goes to the bank anymore? We wanted more of a hipster version of a place that nobody actually goes to."

Didi

9:38

Sad after this commercial that Didi Gregorius needed tommy john :/

I have been invesitvatignn RE, and mostly got my numbers to match Tom Tango's. I then split Regular Seaon and Post season. Without having gotten so far as to look into sample-size related noise, I'm seeing some interesting trend that early base-out (first, one out) has lower run expectancy, and late base-out has higher. This seems to speak to both better pitching and better offense. Any analysis done on the difference in RE between regular season and post season, and maybe some insight into different approaches in managing?

Dan Szymborski

9:39

Imagine, living in a world in which Bruce Springsteen is watching the same thing on a television as you are.

Buck is easily amazed.

Jay Jaffe

9:39

half of the BBWAA has that fantasy.

scott

9:40

I don't want to make you nervous, Dan, but Thom Yorke is reading this live chat right now

Hold me close, ohtani dancer

9:40

is a large part of "X can't pitch in the playoffs" just that pitching in the playoffs is hard and especially so after a long season?

Jeff Sullivan

9:40

Well realistically Price has a huge gap between regular-season and playoff ERA, and Kershaw is up there too

But mostly it is bullshit

Dan Szymborski

9:41

DID YOU KNOW: Jon Bon Jovi's lungs ALSO inhale oxygen which enters the bloodstream? We really are in the future now.

Chris

9:41

I wish Joe Buck was there to provide this star tracking service for all television shows. Would love to know that Ringo Starr is watching Riverdale with me right now

Ted in HR

9:41

Do you guys believe the Dodgers are complicit in the things the SI article suggests? If so, does it affect your enjoyment of them in the WS?

Jeff Sullivan

9:41

I don't know all that much, but from what little I *do* know, I think the Dodgers will be in the clear since they fired all their criminals

wouldn't surprise me if they lost some international money for a year or something. It's not what you want to see from any team, but it's a more abstract thing than trading for a Chapman or an Osuna when it comes to how I feel about a team I guess

Nacho

9:43

I just realized Carson is not a part of this chat. Can you forward my previous message to him?

Guy Smiley

9:44

Quick inning for Sale. He needed that.

Jay Jaffe

9:44

first 1-2-3 for either pitcher, no?

Guy Smiley

9:44

Dan should always be ashamed of himself.

CamdenWarehouse

9:44

Carson, can you turn the emojis on for the WS chats please? Thank you!
