Lousy umpiring already. Does it ever end?

Meg Rowley

8:12

For all of us someday

I wish I loved anything as much as Eaton loves bunting

Thom

8:12

Oh boy, gotta love a first inning sacrifice bunt

Bring Back Jeff

8:12

This early? Really?

Annabelle

8:12

He was out there.

Greg

8:13

Bunting for a hit there?

Bob

8:13

Giving an out away?

Ben Clemens

8:13

Unclear!

Adam Eaton bunts altogether too much considering that he's not the best bunter in the world.

But he's very willing to try to bunt for a hit, that's for sure.

8:14

John Smoltz wanted a steal PLUS a bunt, of course.

Lunar verLander

8:14

Altuve does that occasionally. Sometimes works, too.

Ben Clemens

8:14

It's not the worst spot for a bunt, if you think you are safe reasonably often.

But that bunt wasn't really good enough.

Gomes Barksdale and intentionally miscalling a pitch: do framing stats need a respect component?

Ben Clemens

8:15

I believe you misspelled re2pect

(trademarked by Jeter)

Andrew

8:16

Does anyone else mentally pronounce re2pect as "re two pect?"

Ben Clemens

8:16

I thought I was the only one!

Sam

8:17

Mentally and verbally haha

Meg Rowley

8:17

yes!

Ben Clemens

8:17

We're in good company.

In Play, Run(s)

5 Run Homer

8:17

“Led team in RBI and runs” is maybe the worst way of showing Rendon’s talent

Brian CashGod

8:17

Nats showing no re2pect to Verlander thus far

Meg Rowley

8:17

Yeah does't do justice to Rendon at all

Ben Clemens

8:18

I'm a very big fan of "The exit velocity didn't register much."

As if there's a machine called the exit velocity that just measures the exit velocity.

Meg Rowley

8:19

well sometimes the radar can't see it, ya know?

Cole's Law

8:20

Remember when Verlander used to be a good post season pitcher....WHen does the narrative change?

Meg Rowley

8:20

When we all forget the 2017 postseason?

The Hamburglar

8:20

As much as we all love baseball, do you ever feel a little relief once the pressure filled, small sample size of October is over? It's nice to have a break

Ben Clemens

8:20

In case you guys were curious, I did a very lazy calculation, and Eaton would need to bunt for a hit around a quarter of the time there

8:21

for that play to make sense

(Just using generic win expectancy in each base/out state)

It was my fault?

8:21

Could this score mean that a lead change is possible? Odd score and all.

Meg Rowley

8:21

I uhhh haven't had a day where I haven't worked in... some time, so while I will miss it and stress about other stuff, I am very excited to have a little bit of breathing room.

Ben Clemens

8:21

Is a zero run lead an even lead?

Scratched Correa

8:22

Coles law, I don’t remember verlander ever being a good postseason pitcher. The narrative is correct

Connecting…
