sweat_smile Padres fans watching all of the underdogs winning today...

They just called Civale "burly"..... giggles

I just googled Fagerstrom.l, since he was mentioned. What is "player information"? Because it's August, I assume that's an analytics position, but it sure sounds like PR.
Davy Andrews
7:42
I feel confident that he's doing cool stuff. Also, when we announced the paywall, August bought a bunch of memberships and gave them out to readers for free.

Who do you think currently holds the Mariners in higher regard: Dave Cameron, current Mariners employee, or Jeff Sullivan, current Rays employee?
Davy Andrews
7:44
That is an excellent question. Having never interacted with either of them, I suspect it's Jeff, just because wherever you work, even if it's somewhere great, you're all too aware of the ways that it could be better.
Grandal Richuk

Also, Cistulli has the best wikipedia page, just for the intro paragraph.
Somehow during the playoff games, I've gone into "remember some guys" mode about former FanGraphs employees
Davy Andrews
7:45
It's a special place. My life would look very different without it.
Phil
7:45
Dave is also grumpier. I say that with admiration, but it's just a fact.
Davy Andrews
7:46
Yeah, Jeff was enthusiastic. I remember the first article I wrote here, I put a sentence in there that was just like, "And that's great!" just because it felt like something he would do.
MOOOOOKIE
7:45
Ben Clemens is suspiciously good: I have a conspiracy theory that he's just a pseudonym for Jeff and Dave and countless other former luminaries....but I also thought the same thing about August
Matt Martell
7:48
Don’t say anything else about this unless you want your internet to abruptly crash like Dan’s did after mentioning his grandpa’s uncle in Russia!
MOOOOOKIE
7:46
while we're remembering some FG guys: Tony Blengino
Grandal Richuk
7:47
If I didn't start reading Ben from Viva El Birdos, I might also be suspicious
Davy Andrews
7:47
What an amazing I preferred their earlier stuff.
Matt Martell
7:50
Viva El Birdos is Ben’s Uncle Tupelo

Remember when Cistulli took Mike Trout like 3rd overall in a 10 year draft article back in 2011 or so when Trout was a 20y with an underwhelming first 100 abs and someone in the comments wrote ‘that’s why you don’t hire poets to write about baseball?’

God I love Cistulli. I still go back and listen to old FG audio with Cistulli and Dayne. Hysterical stuff

Buttó no doubt in for the three inning save.
Davy Andrews
7:49
Oh right, there's baseball game!
WHAT TIME IS IT
7:49
TIME FOR THE BUTT(Ó)
RTJ
7:52
will the chat be going through the night game?
Davy Andrews
7:52
No, we're just here through the Mets-Brewers. You're on your own out in San Deigo, sorry.
Sonny
7:52
is there a way to make your Apple Watch play Narco whenever Diaz comes into a ballgame? I’d buy an Apple Watch
Davy Andrews
7:52
If somebody figures this out please tell me how to do it.

Any longtime Mets fan is seeing the 94% win probability as a taunt...
Dakota

I spent a good amount of years writing about basketball and now work in basketball scouting but I've always been jealous by the big brains that all of you Fangraphs people have. Y'all are second to none
Davy Andrews
7:53
I feel that jealousy every day.
Guest
7:53
Butto can look effortlessly in control of an inning at times.
Davy Andrews
7:53
The energy of this game has really, really shifted.
RTJ
7:54
what time does the fangraphs VP Debate chat launch?
Davy Andrews
7:58
One of my fondest memories from college was that we had two TVs in our dorm junior year, so all our friends came over to watch the Cardinals in the NLDS and the presidential debate at the same time.
Matt Martell
8:03
One of my fondest memories in college was drinking a beer per inning with my roommate at Champs Downtown in State College (if any other Penn Staters are in this chat) during Game 7 of the 2017 World Series. I did not make it to class the next day
A Jolly Good Oberkfellow

As a Mets fan, here's hoping Pat Murphy channels Espada and pitches Devin Williams just for kicks.
Kwah

Brewers versus Metropolitans sounds like a case brought before a federal District Court in the middle of Prohibition Era.
Matt Martell
8:01
This is good ^
Phil
8:04
Is this first playoff pitch timer violation this year? I didn't watch the earlier games.
Davy Andrews
8:04
Definitely the first one I saw.
Guest

Butto got that funky cut/ride low slot four seam
