I use X-Curl, Y-Curl, and Z-Curl for mustaches.

Ah, a Madden '02 joke. This chat contains multitudes

(or at least, that's the last football game I bought)

9:37

Petriello is so good at this.

Dan Szymborski

Was Madden 2002 the year that had the glorious Pharoahe Monch Madden rap that was the only rap song ever to contain "EA Sports!" every five seconds and lines like "y'all players better switch up your offensive patterns"

Ben Clemens

9:37

Yes!

Or at least, I thikn so. I remember that song vividly.

Dan Szymborski

9:37

UNRAVEL THE WORLD OF JOHN MADDEN!

Ben Clemens

9:38

I had an indy rap phase in high school and that really spoke to me.

Can we all appreciate this Nerdcast? It's legitimately so enjoyable.

Dan Szymborski

9:38

It is.

It's people who talk and analyze baseball like I do. Well, with fewer dumb pop culture references.

I really hope that they bring some of the visual innovations from it into regular broadcasts.

Jordan

9:38

I would trade 5 of each of you for 1 Jeff Sullivan again no offense

Ben Clemens

9:39

Whoa, if you can find another 4 of me, that would make my job way easier.

Dan Szymborski

9:39

Earlier you were trading one of us for David Cameron. Are you saying Dave's only worth 1/5th a Jeff?

Lunar verLander

9:39

I've long claimed that there should be a "plus-stat" for errors called "oops+".

Dan Szymborski

9:39

opposing OPS+

Matt

9:39

When Mike makes a joke is it called a PetrieLOL?

Matthew

9:39

best bullpen metric is weight in stone x wingspan in meters x facial hair weight in ounces

Jeremy Tice

9:39

Nerdcast had me actually looking forward to an ESPN game

Jordan

9:40

Yea pretty much

Adam

9:40

I'd say Dave is worth 1/5 of Jeff because the Padres have yet to be good since he got there

Ben Clemens

9:40

Counterpoint: Dave kept the Padres from mastering cloning technology and signing five Eric Hosmer's.

Dan Szymborski

9:40

They DID hire Jeff coming off a 90-win season.

9:40

I don't know if I'm allowed to ask this, but do you all really get ESPN2, or is the nerdcast also...other places?

Dan Szymborski

9:41

The ESPN.com stream allows you to select nerdcast stream.

Matt

9:41

The baseball fan in me wants this game to get tied up. The gambler in me does not want these runs to get attributed too Morton. The Me's are torn.

Roger

9:41

Any reason to *not* go to the bullpen here?

Dan Szymborski

9:42

Morton needs some kind of salt-based gimmick. Like when someone hits a homer off him, he throws salt in their eyes while they round the bases.

Ben Clemens

9:42

This seemed like a spot for Nick Anderson.

LFC Mike

9:42

Maybe Morton should throw pepper in their eyes

Belli Flop

9:43

@Matt gambling is bad for your mental health. Baseball is not

Ogre

9:43

NERDS!

Ben

9:43

Will the A's still be playing in the Coliseum in 2025? I think yes

Audrey Stark

9:43

This game will still be going in 2025.

Dan Szymborski

9:43

I love a broadcast that will actually feature the term "selection bias"
