Ryan is iconic as an Astro? I think of him as an Angel

Tony Wolfe

9:43

Under 120

Craig Edwards

9:43

I'm sure some think of him as a Ranger. He played for a really long time, punched a guy, too.

Ryu

9:44

Tony Wolfe

9:45

Nolan Ryan threw his first 100-inning season the year my dad was born and pitched his final season the year before I was born.

Greg

9:45

How about the most iconic National? Would it have been Harper before this last year? Does his departure leave Zimmerman with the title? Would Rendon, Stras, or perhaps eve Scherzer be next in line? And will Juan Soto eventually surpass them all?

Tony Wolfe

9:45

My dad was 26 when I was born.

Craig Edwards

9:45

I think it has always been Zimmerman.

Tony Wolfe

9:46

I'm not a Nationals fan, but I would assume Zimmerman still holds that title

Craig Edwards

9:46

Does Turner run?

David Laurila

9:46

Re a Verlander error in the 2006 World Series, I don't specifically remember one, but I worked the games in Detroit and it was stupidly cold. Had it been much colder I'm sure they could have played, to be quite honest.

Yolo

9:47

Does Harper have more WAR as a national than Zimmerman

Craig Edwards

9:47

Nope: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=y...

Tim

9:48

Has anyone left as much money on the table by not taking a longer term deal as Lincecum passed up?

Craig Edwards

9:48

How much did he pass up? He's made more than $100 million in his career.

Sharp

9:49

Turner doesn't run. Don't Rob Soto or Rendon of the RBI

David Laurila

9:49

Buck's "It might be, it is," was under-statedly reminiscent of a Harry Caray home run call.

9:50

Might as well have bunted

Craig Edwards

9:50

that's the risk you take. Some times you get burned.

Dennis

9:50

what would rendon on the yankees look like without that beard

Craig Edwards

9:50

They were showing pictures of him at Rice last night.

tommytoms

9:52

what if a yankees player just refused to shave?

Tony Wolfe

9:52

these are the questions that keep me up at night

Craig Edwards

9:52

The Yankees would then be forced to decide if playing a player were more important than a silly rule.

Dennis

9:52

craig, whats rice ?

David Laurila

9:53

Meanwhile, I just checked tonight's NBA scores and the Pistons, playing without Blake Griffin, beat the Pacers. Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Craig Edwards

9:53

It's where Rendon went to school, a grain good for eating, and a great wide receiver. /reverse jeopardy

Nico Robin

9:54

has a free agent ever refused to sign with the yankees over their facial hair policy

Craig Edwards

9:54

Not that I recall.

Hire Joe Morgan?

9:55

I'm going to ask again....what's going on with Soto's turned-in toe? How does that help him swing?

Craig Edwards

9:55

Smoltz just talked about. He was being informative. But basically, it is just something he does to get ready to swing. Maybe it keeps him from taking a big step or something.

tommytoms

9:56

why is the heat map red for most hit areas and green for least hit? shouldn't it be the opposite? or blue for least hit?

Craig Edwards

9:56

it's where pitchers should or should not throw the ball.

Section329

9:56

Edgar Martinez did the pigeon toe thing

Funky Kong

9:57

That Verlander's last inning or one more? Not any more than that, right?

Craig Edwards

9:57

He's staying in.

David Laurila

9:57

Speaking of the Yankees and shaving, Andrew Miller had a pretty decent beard going during the postseason. Nothing compared to spring training a few year back when he was with the Red Sox, mind you. That was of Grizzly Adams quality, both in terms of facial hair and a longish mane.

tommytoms

9:57

oh i meant for the percentage of where balls are hit for soto.

Hire Joe Morgan?

9:57

I have never had a beer. I am 36.
