At how many drinks do you stop tweeting?

Ben Clemens

9:29

You misspelled 'start'

Sharp

9:29

Don't tell me Bauer Units are an official thing...

Ben Clemens

9:29

They are not. Just a Driveline term.

Alfredo

9:29

'Overthrowing' doesn't necessarily mean higher velo though

Ben Clemens

9:29

Yeah, if it's not velo, then it's probably untestable?

9:30

Without data we don't have publicly.

Sharp

9:30

I'm a fan with the concept, but not so much of the namesake

Ben Clemens

9:30

Yeah, I get you.

Meg Rowley

9:30

Mannnnn Brantley

Ben Clemens

9:31

I'm a big fan of actually doing the units and conversion

since it's rpm and mph

twb

9:31

does the fair/foul matter on a catch?

Andrew

9:31

Odd that they even mention that it was a fair ball there

Meg Rowley

9:31

yeah not sure what that was about -- might have just emphasized it weirdly?

9:32

Like “how many Altuves was that ball away from being foul?”

Train Noises

9:32

If he dropped or overran it then it would have mattered

Ben Clemens

9:32

Revolutions per Mile

Meg Rowley

9:32

well sure, but that's not what that phrasing/emphasis implied

Jeff

9:33

Bloom's list of priorities with the Red Sox: 1. destroy Andrew Friedman's no doubt legendary 38% drop in payroll with the Dodgers and 2. win?

Ben Clemens

9:33

Don't forget to out-years-of-control the Blue Jays.

CatchTheseHams

9:34

How do you decide fair or foul when a fielder on the line drops a ball? Just where the ball drops? Or does the fielder being in fair or foul territory matter?

Ben Clemens

9:34

As I understand it, what matters is where the ball is when it makes contact with a fielder.

Not where the fielder is, but where the ball is when it touches the fielder.

Frustration

9:35

So are we ignoring that Robles didn't go around yet was rung up by the home plate umpire?

Ben Clemens

9:35

Haha I mean, not even the worst Robles strikeout decision this series!

The Hamburglar

9:35

Strasburg is staying with the Nats, right? Cant see him switching teams

Meg Rowley

9:35

I can -- I think he'll opt out

Ben Clemens

9:35

I think he'll leverage the chance of an opt out to remain with the Nats.

9:36

A la Kershaw

Dennis

9:36

wow so nats can lose Rendon and Strausberg?

Ben Clemens

9:36

Yep. They actually have a shocking number of 'contributors' hitting free agency considering that their core is young.

Train Noises

9:37

He'll be the #2 FA pitcher after Cole won't he?

Ben Clemens

9:37

Kendrick, Zimmerman, Daniel Hudson, Baby Shark...

Meg Rowley

9:37

Yes

German baseball fan

9:37

I hate when home plate umpires dont ask for help on check swings when there is no reason not to ask for help.

Ben Clemens

9:37

Yeah, agree.

The Hamburglar

9:37

I have a late business dinner date so have to leave, Have a great night.

Ben Clemens

9:37

Have fun!

9:37

Couldn’t they have locked up Mookie before bringing on a GM trained on dollar stretching?
