Not a Wilyer Won't Year?
Davy Andrews

Write that down somewhere. It's too good to lose.

Is this chat still going to be happening during the Dodgers game?
Davy Andrews
5:24
Yes, we'll have a shift change at seven eastern.

Former Guest here.  Orioles fan.  Figured it out...technology is hard at my age.

Ok shadows are mostly gone across the infield in DC... lets see if I can luck my way into a timely update when Gore pitches. I predict a HR for PHI this inning to break the shutout.
Davy Andrews
5:25
Here we go.

Pirates take the lead!

Due to Effectively Wild and Editor Growley (a.k.a. Fangraph), I now have an intense interest in every Isaac Paredes plate appearance.  EWStatsdotcom is fun.

I had too many starters going in fantasy today, as most do.  Decided to bench Gore and go with Gallen tonight.  So, there's that.

Oh, I'm sorry. I doubt it. I think we're on two-hour shifts, so we'll be wrapping up by five or so your time.
Matt Martell
5:28
And now Gore is up to 13 strikeouts through 6 scoreless

I read recently that his defense was expected to drop off because he won't throw out so many runners? Of course this is in too obvious for words category!!!!  The league now knows that it is foolish to run on his cannon.

The best defensive catcher is a strong armed catcher that runners DIS respect!

One of the coolest Russell Carleton articles.
Which is saying something.
Brian
5:29
Crow for me... Gore is looking very very good today

Can we give Kirk the moniker "El Tortuga II?"  Too harsh?
Davy Andrews
5:31
I would say that while that is a cool nickname and he deserves a cool nickname, he probably deserves an original one.

Colt Keith or Cam Smith this year?
AvatarJay Jaffe
5:34
I saw an article at The Athletic where Maurcio Dubón called Smith "the next 60-homer guy" and... man, I'd say let's pump the breaks just a bit before we see if the kid with 32 professional games so far can survive April without being sent down. (that's to him, not to you)

I'm not all that high on Colt Keith but I expect to see a better version of him this year. so that's my pick for this particular choice.

People would always try to tell me "Yadier Molina is underrated because you're not giving him credit for the guys who won't run now!" and I'm all "why the hell wouldn't you want runners run on him if you're a Cardinals fan? If runners tried 300 SBs against him, he'd be the league MVP"

What player(s) do you think will significantly beat their zips playing time projections?
AvatarDan Szymborski
5:33
A lot of them are in my booms/busts column!

Kirk...Sasquat?
Brian
5:33
La Paloma for Kirk
Davy Andrews

I don't think we've found it yet.

Riley is lookin strong. Dark horse MVP candidate? Defense too weak for that?
Davy Andrews
5:36
I actually picked him for MVP last year, so that would definitely make me feel better.
AvatarDan Szymborski
5:36
When people say Riley I still think Matt Riley first
GammaDraconis

Jays fans are just calling him Captain.

5:36
OK, serious question.  Recent extensions for Raleigh and Kirk...what should an Adley extension look like?
Matt Martell
5:37
Dan, what does ZiPS have for that?
AvatarDan Szymborski
5:37
starting next year?
Matt Martell
5:37
yep
AvatarJay Jaffe

I still think of Kirk as "Absolute Unit" because I had never heard that term before fans started calling him that when he was a rookie https://www.instagram.com/kirkfans/p/CFbAF3EiYeM/?hl=en
