Judge is her favorite player to the extent that she has one

Maeda up to 60 pitches in the 3rd.

Maeda lotta pitches

Someone's up in the pen. Missed who it was.
5-3 for Cain and it's 2-1 Twins after 3.

Jonathan Loaisiga now on for the Yankees. They think very highly of  him as a late-inning arm
Kevin Goldstein
3:46
Currently nobody is on base in any of the five active games.

Do people find the K-zone box beneficial or more distracting than anything else?
Kevin Goldstein
3:47
I try to ignore it. Often innaccurate.

Do you guys do any wagers on baseball from to time?
AvatarJay Jaffe

I'm much more likely to look at the zone diagram on Gameday via my computer or phone

Thoughts on the Reds?  As annoyingly quiet as the off-season was, I’m looking at the roster and feeling weirdly hopeful.  Expecting some BABIP upward regression too.

Other than a friendly wager for a burrito once in a while, no.

The BABIP somehow being lower than last year would b quit the story.

A friend and I have a standard put-your-money-where-your-mouth-is bet of a sushi dinner but it's rarely invoked. I would never bet through a betting service and i hate the fact that MLB is now in bed with the betting industry

A final line for Hendricks of 3 4 3 3 3 4 on 63 pitches vs. Pittsburgh was not what I was expecting.

What is it that you have against actual betting?
AvatarJay Jaffe

1-2-3 for Loaisiga in the 8th and now Rafael Dolis is on for the Blue Jays
Kevin Goldstein

Me? Nothing. I'm a degenerate poker player, just don't do sports.

Two-out RBI single by contact machine Luis Arraez and Twins are up 3-1. He's just fun to watch.

Baseball should stay as far away from gambling as possible.
Kevin Goldstein
3:54
Walking Hicks to start the 8th in New York is probably a bad strategy.
Freddy Peralta, KG 2021 breakout candidate, warming up in Milwaukee.

Freddy Peralta on his 5th straight season as a breakout candidate?
Kevin Goldstein

THIS TIME IT'S FOR REAL, JAY.

David, I'm curious to hear your reasoning about why baseball should stay away from gambling. Is it because you view gambling as a dangerous pastime for fans, or because you see it as a threat to the integrity of the game?
AvatarDavid Laurila
3:56
The latter,

People have right to lose (or win) money as they like.

When I worked in baseball, we got an annual memo about gambling on baseball (don't), playing any kind of daily fantasy game (don't), etc.

Ricky Vaughn, I mean James Karinchak, in for Cleveland. Top 5 reliever this season?
Kevin Goldstein
3:58
No. It's super fun stuff, but sub 40 command of it.

Dodgers@Rockies will be on ESPN2 (and SNLA) while the Jays-Yanks game continues

Kevin, Is there encouragement to turn in people who violate the policies, or is it self-policed?
Kevin Goldstein

Honestly don't remember. The annual PED memo highly encouraged turn ins.

and yet you were stacking deca for eight years and are now just ripped

How 'bout Dolis bouncing back there?
AvatarJay Jaffe

Dolis works around a leadoff walk to Hicks to keep the Yankees at bay
