The Homestead Grays were from originally from Pittsburgh. They were in DC in aforementioned Series.

Jay, if multi-universe theory is correct, there's probably a universe where Chaim was the notorious GM Assassin.

Hannibal Sánchez.

Going out on a limb here. Soto is not a good outfielder.

I visited the Negro League Baseball Museum in KC a few years back. Definitely worth the trip. Got a Satchel Paige replica jersey and a Detroit Stars T-Shirt.

Jay Jaffe

9:05

the defensive metrics agree with you, though he's not awful. -4.9 UZR, -5 DRS in his two seasons.

Dan Szymborski

9:05

Robles looks tonight in center like he's played baseball before.

9:06

"ima gonna keep tagging you until someone says out"

Jay Jaffe

9:06

LOL Dan. yes, those headshots may have had a different purpose

we could finally put Taco Bell out of business

If only it were a free taco PER stolen base...

I went Wikipedia and was shocked to see that the Grays ended up in DC, as David said. Even at 77. you learn something everyday.

This is what I would have expected Houston to do against Sanchez if I knew nothing about the last five days

Mad Joe-Don

9:07

My team's LF is Schwarber, so I'd take Soto any day of the week.

CBeisbol

9:07

Today's Soto's birthday? Anyone know how old he is? I don't think I've heard

bosoxforlife

9:08

I went to KC in 2008 for a Sox-Royals series and thoroughly enjoyed Negro League Baseball Museum.

Jay Jaffe

9:08

the metrics say Schwarber was actually fine this year, -0.9 UZR, -1 DRS. I didn't see a lot of him and I know the early impression is hard to shake but defense wasn't an issue

LFC Mike

9:08

Robles lost most of last year with the arm injury which allowed Soto to get promoted. What is Robles ultimate upside? He was touted as a good prospect.

David Laurila

9:08

Quote from Nationals owner Mark Lerner, per the Washington Post: Mark Lerner: "The first pitches are our call, and we felt there are many other candidates that should be considered before him."

Dan Szymborski

9:08

He still has a good outlook.

9:09

It's just that Soto is a thing

Cole's Law

Peace out peeps...Leaving the apple store...Hopefully I'll make it home to jump back on.

Magic Kingdome

The Negro League Museum is a treasure.

sphenreckson

Soto is a gold glove finalist....

Dan Szymborski

9:09

GG still better than it usded to be.

Jeter wouldn't be a multiple gold glove winner today.

Byron Buxton

9:09

How in the world is Robbie Grossman a gold glove finalist? He was a disaster in the outfield for the Twins for a few years although I don't watch the A's daily...

Dan Szymborski

9:10

The hard thing about getting people to understand there are better defensive metrics than fielding percentage/range factor but then having to turn around and note that them that one year is actually a fairly small sample size for defensive numbers.

But that's awkward because the GG is for the current season!

Mr and Mrs Cole’s Law

9:10

Be safe. Text us when you get home Cole

Mad Joe-Don

9:10

I wonder if Palmeiro displays that one GG award.

Magic Kingdome

9:11

Astros would be up 3 games to none if they had the grit of Nick Markakis.

Wire Fan

9:11

Is Schwarber's D still largely based on his arm? (too lazy to look)

David Laurila

9:11

Washington baseball history fact: In his seven seasons as a Senator, Frank Howard logged a 151 wRC+ and averaged 34 home runs per year.

Jay Jaffe

9:11

yeah, his arm is making up for his range

Dan Szymborski

9:12

Is getting a Gold Glove for a position you didn't really play much *really* worse than getting one for a position you played poorly?

9:12

How many future Hall of Famers are in this World Series?

Dan Szymborski

9:13

I feel poor Jay has had to answer this question in every one of his chats this postseason.

bosoxforlife

9:13

Never forget that Rafael Palmiero won a GG when he played like 25 games at first base, but remember who is voting. Just kidding guys.

David Laurila

9:13

Gold Glove voting has improved since the SABR Defensive Index was added to the equation.
