That lane is taken, I'm afraid.
Ben Clemens
8:56
It's actually taken a few times. Davy has the extended bits, I'm more of a one-liner type, Dan is an acquired taste
Bodly

Do the Rays have a less than 4 error lineup?
FanGraphs

Per @JonHeyman: Arson Judge appears headed to Giants. Judge hit for an AL-record 2 home runs in the regular season.
Chet Manley

Tardy to the party so not sure if it’s been said but it didn’t seem like Pfaadt was that bad? Obviously homer isn’t good but a lot of weak hit balls finding holes and whatnot
Ben Clemens
8:57
Agree. I was shocked to see he'd allowed so many hits, and the homer was the kind where you go eh, bad luck, let's move on

Does less rounds of the draft help bigger markets? It seems like the Dodgers have found success recently with undrafted free agents like 2B/Utility Austin Gauthier, RP Jake Pilarski, and RP Justin Bruihl. Those guys might’ve been harder to find if the draft more than double the current size.

I'll let fake Eric answer this one.
Adley's Embrace

Is he named for Abner Doubleday tho?
Kyle Kishimoto
8:58
abner doubleday would faint on the spot if he saw how hard abner uribe can throw
Fake Eric
8:58
Yes
Davy Andrews
8:58
Well, that settles that.

I love relievers because every day there's a new one I've never heard of that throws 100 and has a matching 1.00 era
Kyle Kishimoto
8:59
baumann wrote about him last month!

People from that era fainted all the time

Fun Fact: If you curved the brim of Uribe's hat even slightly, his fastball would immediately drop to the mid-80s.

Per @MLB Trade Rumors: Star outfield duo Ben Clemens and Davy Andrews want out of Los Angeles. Despite their combined .456 AVG/203 HR performance, the Angels fell 12 games behind the Royals for the last wild card spot.

Boog Sciambi a few notches above anyone else doing play by play today
O's fan

I'm waiting for Michael Baumann to write about his namesake player
Chet Manley

And for every one that throws 100 and has a 1.00 ERA there’s one that throws 100 and has a 5.50 ERA!
(That was not anti-velocity that was just lol everyone throws hard now)

Ask fake Eric his thoughts on making the bases bigger by another 3 inches. Please and thank you
O's fan

Thanks Mr. Kishimoto!

Boog Sciambi is a few notches above most people doing play by play any day
Bodly

I would for real just watch a feed of the Fangraphs hot takes
O's fan
9:01
I should've looked harder
Davy Andrews
9:01
There's always room to grow.
Kyle Kishimoto
9:01
abner doubleday would also pass out if he saw a 90 mph slider that moved like that
Michael Haneke Paneke

RTJ-one year one of those random relievers turned out to have gone to the same tiny North Dakota teachers college I had gone to. One-stoplight town! RIP Nick Anderson. (I’m sure he’s not dead, he’s just gone wherever those relievers go after their arms blow up.)
Fake Eric

Why stop at 3 inches?
FanGraphs

Per Brandon Hyde: The entirety of the Orioles roster is questionable to start game 1 at home of the ALDS. An entire roster of suburban 14U soccer players has been signed in their place, as most fans can't tell the difference between the two
Davy Andrews
9:02
As someone who grew up playing travel soccer in the DMV, don't sleep on these kids.
Arizona Time

Fake Eric is the innovator baseball always needed. Genius move
Ben Clemens
9:02
I stopped to start my recap and you guys got some HEAT in in the meantime

MLB Gameday: "Christian Walker Walks"
Classic
Kyle Kishimoto
9:03
another win for nominative determinism
Ben Clemens
9:03
pitching coach Hook not pulling Uribe is ruining your fancy college philosophy words
Kyle Kishimoto
9:04
he's not pulling my what?
Davy Andrews

Manager Counsell has some advice for you.
