"Burnes Burned as Arizona Outlasts Milwaukee in Hard-Pfaadt Battle" writes itself
let's see if it happens

"Corbin-on-Corbin crime."
Davy Andrews

I'm not sure I like this new strategy where Burnes just lets the D-Backs hit it really hard.

Dang, he smacked that ball

The pov angle always makes me think I could have hit that one while in reality I would probably start my swing when the ball already hit the catcher's glove.
Davy Andrews
8:05
That is definitely not what I think when I see that angle.

Arizona Diamondsmacks? Diamondshellacks? Diamondwhacks?

If they keep hitting the ball this hard, Milwaukee will be too tired by the late innings to do much...right?

The Rope-A-Dope!

I play co-ed rec league softball, and last night the one woman on our team had to bat 3x every time through our lineup because we didn't have enough to satisfy the minimum. I can confirm that she ended up quite tired from having to swing too often. She's pretty good, but not major league caliber, to be fair.

I need to plan my headlines beforehand. Mine are always boring because I leave them for the very end, and I have run out of brain.

Can't you guys tell me when something big is about to happen. I go to the kitchen for 5 minutes and return to find back-to-back jacks and a 3-3 tie.
Davy Andrews

I'm delayed because I'm watching on a Roku. But I apologize all the same.

and I think Bryson Stott is distantly related to Peregrin Took
Davy Andrews

Also really good.

Pfaadt still in? Surprising.

I knew Mookie had a decent chance at playing SS well when LA moved him around. Freddie Freeman was a great 3B and probably would be gold glove if chipper didn’t move him off the position
Davy Andrews
8:11
I don't know about the Freeman portion, but anybody who doubts Mookie's ability to do just about anything at all is in for a rude awakening.

Ben, did you do the Luis Arraez exit velo story? is 103 in his sweet spot?
Ben Clemens
8:12
I did not but I love thinking about Arraez
8:13
unless I did, because I've written about him a lot
it's actually a bit hard for him, tbh
Davy Andrews
8:13
I pitched an article about whether teams should try playing a softball-style shortfielder against him, but nothing came of it.
Ben Clemens
8:13
that's more in the 'carry to an outfielder' range given his launch angle
8:14
okay, scratch that, I did write that article
Lot of stories, can't be expected to remember all of them

Elite defense, Phillies Baseball? Have I been missing something?
Davy Andrews
8:15
Did anybody else hear Tim Kurkjian say, "I’ve never seen a bad defensive team do anything in the postseason"? Because I did, and I guess he must've missed last year's World Series.

Which NL game should I be watching?
Ben Clemens
8:15
Start in Milwaukee
It's been really fun
8:16
@davy it's hard to talk about baseball as much as he does
Davy Andrews
8:16
That is very fair.
Ben Clemens

bound to be some bad takes in there
but yes.... bad take
