I'm sure if they want to give him away and kick in a few million, I'm sure they could.

Tony Wolfe

9:12

The Reds would probably be interested in him.

Pontoons

Do pitchers intentionally throw breaking pitches at the top of the zone?

Craig Edwards

9:13

Sometimes. Sometimes it is just a pitch that was intended as a change of pace strike. Sometimes it gets away. Sometimes it rains.

James

9:13

Tucker has to be the opening day right fielder right?

Craig Edwards

9:14

But then how is he going to make prospect lists in 2021 a la Austin Meadows.

Hire Joe Morgan?

9:14

E Everybody!

Craig Edwards

9:15

Not great, though more on Turner for the bobble and then the bad throw.

....

9:15

Why in the world did the blue jays give Grichuk that contract?

Craig Edwards

9:15

He looked at them, smiled, did a hairflip and hit a few dingers.

David Laurila

9:16

Back when he was in the minors and I was writing a bunch of Red Sox minor league stuff, I asked Josh Reddick about his plate discipline issues. More than once. He was used to the question, as it was pretty much "the Reddick question." Could he be more than a fringe big-leaguer if he didn't rein in his aggressiveness? The answer turned out to be yes.

Cole's Law

9:16

What wicked hop did that take...what is Smoltz talking about....

Craig Edwards

9:16

Maybe he just spent a lot of time in Boston at the turn of the century.

Yolo

9:17

Why are we talking about reddicks contract value during a world series game?

David Laurila

9:17

Because Roddick is playing in the World Series?

Tony Wolfe

9:17

The games are long, man

Person McHumanpants

9:18

Was that random bullcrap from Dennis about the Mets being an organizational failure really worth a Heyo? They came awfully close to making the playoffs. They have their flaws as a team and an org, but I think they're significantly less inept than the narrative suggests.

Dennis

9:18

which umpire has the highest velocity on throw backs to the pitcher?

David Laurila

9:19

Maybe Rob Drake on a bad day?

Craig Edwards

9:19

Most World Series appearances in New York this decade.

Tony Wolfe

9:19

Throw West

Yolo

All talk should be about the potential of Fernando Rodney getting a save.

Craig Edwards

9:19

arrows

Yolo

9:20

Strasburg near 60. Rodney soon.

Craig Edwards

9:20

too soon

David Laurila

9:21

Fernando Rodney has actually had a pretty decent career. Games played, be it as a pitcher or as a position player, is arguably an underrated stat.

Craig Edwards

9:21

Good piece of fielding by Turner and they get out of the inning.

Byron Buxton

9:22

Is it possible that Smoltz knows more about football than baseball?

David Laurila

9:22

Smooth roots for Michigan State football, so he certainly knows the frustration side of football.

Dystopian Future

9:23

It's never too soon for Fernandomania

Craig Edwards

9:23

I think you missed it by nearly 40 years.

Cole's Law

9:23

How did Turner handle that ball with all those wicked hops out there.

Craig Edwards

9:23

speaking of wicked hops, time for a beer.

David Laurila

9:24

Chats without beer is like baseball without.... beer?

Tom

9:24

What kind of beer?

Craig Edwards

9:24

Half Acre Kina.

9:26

Verlander only at 55 pitches here with one out in the fourth. Could still get deep in this game.

Tony Wolfe

9:27

This talk about Verlander's college days made me go revisit the 2004 MLB Draft on BB-ref.

Folks,,,, I am never ready for how bad this draft is.

Craig Edwards

9:27

oh the gifs that are coming.
