Oh totally
You just want to hit for a good average
Davy Andrews
7:40
I disagree. Somebody Fire Phil.
Wireless Joe Jackson
7:41
Hey, did anybody hear that the Twins won a playoff game today?
Davy Andrews
7:41
I did not see anything about the game except that Royce Lewis, my brother in torn ACLs, hit two homers.
Ben Clemens
7:41
That said, as a manager, a lot of your success should be measured by how the people under you do
I loooooooove the Twins alternates. Not a huge fan of the classic Rays ones but today's are glorious
Colton

Also, I'm fully on board the Kapler to STL train. I still haven't found a single solid reason why they're sticking with Oli for another year.
Davy Andrews
7:42
Ben, I published this one just because I want to hear what you think about it.
Ben Clemens
7:42
I mean, sure
They seem similar!
7:43
I don't have great insight into managerial decisions in general
like I'm not really sure what the knocks on Marmol are aside from like, the Cards sucked this year
man, they sucked!
Phil
7:44
Davy, today was one of those days I'd be OK with that. Glad to find you lot hanging out.
Davy Andrews
7:44
We've all been there.
Kwah
7:45
Oh wow, didn't realize Josh Donaldson is a starter for Milwaukee ... ...  I just suddenly became a huge fan of the Arizona Diamondbacks!
Ben Clemens

Oh, rare random gambling content. I like to make a few random prop bets on each WC series. I took: Rays o13.5 runs +220, Jays u5.5 runs +215, Marlins -5.5 runs +240, and this one that i LOVE Brewers u7.5 runs +240
Feeling rough about the Rays one

What's your favorite "I just got on first base" celebration?
Davy Andrews
7:47
The Rays really stole my heart with the initials. Just adorable. (Also, I will forever hold a tiny grudge against the guys who don't do it. I watched hundreds of clips hoping to see Margot and Siri flash an M, J, or an S.)
Ben Clemens
7:45
the Dodgers barrels are overrated 'ow I jammed my hands' thing
but there are a lot of good ones
and we have an expert here
Wireless Joe Jackson

So, a no-outs sac bunt to advance the runner to second in the second inning?
Adley's Embrace
7:46
What's the o/u on bunts for day one? Cause I think we're over.
Ben Clemens
7:46
I got a text from a good friend of mine, "I thought the Rays were an analytics team" lol
Wireless Joe Jackson
7:47
Three runs has to seem like a LOT when you've been scoring like the Dbacks have lately.
Ben Clemens
7:48
yeah, oof
Ben Clemens
7:48
Pfaadt is looking.... a lot like Brandon Pfaadt
HappyFunBall
7:48
Donaldson's pretty slow. He might not have scored there had the bunt not moved him over....
Drinks at MoMo's
7:48
3 runs also a lot when facing Corbin Burnes and the Milwaukee bullpen
Wireless Joe Jackson
7:48
Pfaadt pitching like Grayson Rodriguez (1st half version)
Adley's Embrace
7:48
He's a AA pitcher
Ben Clemens
7:49
Just like Grayson Rodriguez (first half version)
Drinks at MoMo's

Any idea why the Twins went for the white triangle on the front of the caps sometimes? to me it looks weird without an Oriole in there
Davy Andrews
7:49
I do not know, but I have also been wondering for a long time why their infield dirt is darker than every other team's. I even sent a DM to them on twitter, but didn't get a reply.
Wireless Joe Jackson
7:49
This is a great, great booth.  Can we have this for the whole playoffs?
Ben Clemens
7:49
100% agree, love Boog
Davy Andrews
7:49
Absolutely.
