De-juiced ball kept two in the park already!

Fire Ken Tremendous

8:26

That was some catch!

.....

8:26

Yes it did

Mad Joe-Don

8:27

The World Atlas is an underrated nickname.

High drag baseballs tonight it appears

DCFC

How will Daniel Castro figure into Seattle's starting lineup in 2020?

David Laurila

8:27

Interesting view on the called ball there. Looked like a strike on superimposed box, but like it wa slow on camera angle side view.

Dan Szymborski

8:27

As of right now, I'd say not at all.

Lunar verLander

8:27

That's OK, you can still beat BP by being the first owner

Hire Joe Morgan?

8:28

Do either of you have any insight into how Houston's firing of the assistant-who-must-not-be-named will affect their front office's functioning?

Dan Szymborski

8:28

I do not.

Taubman is something I don't know at all.

Dave might have a better idea as he's physically around more than I am.

David Laurila

8:29

Good question on the assistant-who-must-not-be-named. Are the Astros an appealing org for young, smart front office types?

Dan Szymborski

8:29

I end up mostly talking to players about Fortnite and Pubg

Eel Ffilc

8:29

I'm glad Bloom is gone, Sullivan might be one step closer to GM now!

Dan Szymborski

8:29

Sully's brutal rise to power.

Byron Buxton

8:29

Is that Trumbo? Not sure he's the paragon of speed

Dan Szymborski

8:29

I'm just illustrating! I knew that GIF existed.

Hire Joe Morgan?

8:29

Rob Arthur said on EW the other day there could be up to eighty feet of difference on fly balls from the drag. If he's right the drag is erratic in postseason balls, that's a lot of variance from ball to ball.

Sonny

8:30

Rocco was no slouch himself before the body gave out. Massive range, plus arm, 80 speed

Jordan

8:30

I just figured you could teach most anything but you can’t teach speed, I suppose you can’t teach instinct either

Jamie

8:30

The first 2 games ended past 12 PM EST. MLB cannot afford another game that goes past midnight. MLB has to find a way to speed up the pace

Dan Szymborski

8:30

All the game start after noon! <ducking>

8:31

First Astros game with an 0-0 first inning since ALCS Game Two.

sucramrenrut

8:32

Finance bros, amirite? If you're not hiring people who have played the game, hire a computer scientist who by definition will not be a douche... not a guy from Morgan Stanley even if he was an analyst.

David Laurila

8:32

The games should start an hour earlier. If fans on one coast or the other are going to miss a few innings, wouldn't the early innings be preferable?

Super Ape

8:32

Daytime WS would be glorious

Dan Szymborski

8:32

I like day games, though I don't know how much of that is a privileged position in that I can watch day games since writing about baseball is my job.

Hire Joe Morgan?

8:32

My favorite part of the game is always the beginning. I like the possibilities. Would much rather miss the end than the beginning.

Defenestrater

8:33

What you lack in stealth, Dan, you make up for in reflexes.

David Laurila

8:33

Padres broadcaster Jesse Agler tweeted after Game 2 how much nicer it is to be watching these on the west coast.

Lunar verLander

8:35

I would imagine that, since the supply is MUCH greater than demand, the recent Astros front office situation wouldn't affect the incoming crowd of analysts. And since most promotions with the Astros come from within, it's conceivable that, barring MLB intervention, there won't be any noticeable difference to how their front office functions.

David Laurila

8:35

True. People want to work in baseball.

Dan Szymborski

8:35

And typing! I'm 110-120 even on cough medicine.

Hire Joe Morgan?

8:35

The ability to start your route as soon as the ball is hit. Or before.

Alfredo

8:35

Can't imagine Taubman is the cog to that FO given he's only in the position because Sig, Mike Elias, and Mike Fast all left

Super Ape

8:35

lol'ing so hard at the idea of computer scientists being guaranteed to not be douches

Dan Szymborski

8:35

Uh oh, am I saberbro?

Wire Fan

8:35

Just a wee bit high. Is Correa dead on a good throw?

Connecting…
