Sheryl, do you see a player challenge the draft system all the way to the Supreme court (antitrust exemption) in the next 10 years?

In soccer, we had the Bosman ruling in 1995.

What is the under/over for innings by Severino?
Sheryl Ring

Depends on whether or not Kavanaugh is confirmed.

I hate that TBS is the home of playoff baseball. Why is this allowed to be?

At least they don't start everything at :05 and :35 anymore

I don't think I've ever been disappointed that ESPN was not broadcasting a game, and yet here we are. Bracing for old men yelling at clouds/bullpenning.

I think Petriello made the nerdcast last night and he admitted it was a ton of prep work. It wouldn't be fair to ask him to go do another game and I'm not sure another stat person would do the same job

Remember - the A's struggle with elite velo

Already a better start for Severino compared to last year.

See, if I were on the broadcast, I'd just want to do nerd commentary. No graphics planning!
Not that anyone should want me on a broadcast.

Dan, Jeff Francoeur called, but he dropped the phone because he was swinging at it. (The phone is fine because he missed)

Dan how are you going to survive another chat after last night's marathon?
AvatarDan Szymborski
8:11
I've done a 14-hour chat before.
Brian CashGod
8:12
wait seriously? 14 hours? were you trying to set a record or something?
AvatarDan Szymborski

The thing about the moderately self-absorbed is that they can keep talking quite easily.

If the A's pull bullpenning off successfully today and throughout the playoffs, how much of it will we see next year and what will it look like? Like would we see an ace reliever throwing 100+ innings as an opener next year?

Severino looking good

I think it'll still be relatively a niche thing. Sheryl?

Sheryl Ring:  I have thoroughly enjoyed your posts to Fangraphs and I wanted to say thank you for shining some light on issues that I have been in the dark on!!
Sheryl Ring
8:13
I expect bullpenning to take off among small market teams as a way to keep arb salaries down.
Thank you Disco! And thanks for reading!

Sheryl, I really enjoy your articles, the legal aspect is interesting.

T/F: MLB should institute a rule (not sure what it would look like) preventing teams from running "bullpen games"?
AvatarDan Szymborski
8:14
I'm better off with some demotivational words.
Sheryl Ring
8:14
The MLBPA should be championing this rule.

Dan, I really enjoy Sheryl's articles and it's nice that you work with her!
AvatarDan Szymborski

I just don't know what the rule would be.
Sheryl Ring

I meant, say Dan is smart, Dan is chatting, Dan is great.
AvatarDan Szymborski

I would think that murdering the win some more would be just as helpful
8:16
Man, I have to use one of the TVs like a filthy casual; TBS is just not cooperating with me online.

Sheryl: After finishing law school i didn’t think there was a single job I’d be interested, so I did something else entirely. You’ve proven me shortsighted and foolish!
that's a win for the cubs

DAN IS AGGRESSIVELY OK
