Kyle Kishimoto

Sorry, went to make dinner. But yeah, there’s a weird subset of Cubs fans who don’t like Boog. Possibly as many as 1 in 3. I’m not sure why exactly, even though my brother is one of them. If I had to theorize, their complaints are:he’s a “national guy” and has no ties to the Cubs/Chicago and they see him calling national games
the real Davy Andrews

If you don't read it I'm kicking you out of the jotspot

As a former player who was drafted in the 27th round and never made it out of AAA, I can confirm that playoff baseball is an amazing atmosphere
And apparently I have a wikipedia page. pretty cool
Bodly

It always happens. Guy makes an incredible defensive play then comes up... uh... with 2 outs...

One day Baseball Savant is going to make starred plays searchable, and we're going to be able to crunch the numbers on this.

this might date me but sports illustrated did an April Fools article where they pretended to prove that whole trope when I was a kid, and it's really stuck with me
Davy Andrews
9:30
I think I might be older than you, but I didn't know about that so thanks, grandpa.
Patrick Corbin "Carroll" Burnes

HOBY
Ben Clemens

Ben Clemens
9:30

Over/under 14.5 pitchers used between the DBacks and Brewers by the end of this game? One pitcher each half-inning through the bottom of the 9th would bring them to 15.
Kyle Kishimoto
9:31
i'll take the over for the reason you listed
andrusszn11
9:31
cc What team?
cc
9:31
Yo I got a FanGraphs page too which is amazing
Justin Choi
9:31
Hoby Milner is a bounty hunter who had one minute of screentime but has five pages dedicated to him on Wookipedia
Ben Clemens
9:32
and a good extended universe/"Star Wars Legends" anthology story
Davy Andrews

My softball team this summer had a kid who absolutely mashed. Turned out he played DI, so we got to look up his bRef page. Very fun.
Ben Clemens

In college we played against a team from the law school in intramural softball
Their left fielder held the UVa career record for, I believe, extra-base hits and got drafted by the Giants
Kyle Kishimoto
9:33
couldn't hit a homer, what a scrub
Davy Andrews
9:34
My dad went to UVA law school, and I believe he's the all-time record holder for consecutive minutes with the turn signal of a Volvo 940 station wagon engaged.
Ben Clemens
9:33
I saw him hit a single off the wall because he was just not interested in running out of the box
Adley's Embrace
9:33
Miami is trying to blow today's away team sweep
Ben Clemens
9:33
The Twins already won
RTJ
9:33
how good is that intramural team that they stick their best athlete in LEFT field?
Davy Andrews
9:34
Left field's important in slow pitch, since people just crank long fly balls all day.

I played in the Braves' system for a few years but called it quits this year, I still loved the experience tho
Ben Clemens
9:34
I feel like left is a little more important in softball what with all the pull power. Also maybe it was left center, I can't remember. But it was silly
Dave Stone, I think his name is
I was wrong, UVa record holder for walks and steals
Patrick Corbin "Carroll" Burnes
9:35
Damn, why does every Brewers reliever have a sub-2.00 ERA
Ben Clemens
9:35
so uh yeah, he was probably a good athlete
Floyd
9:35
Does Arizona have 12 outs left in them?
