Noise is SO big on a single hit though relative to signal

When announcers praise grounders they're usually talking about placement not velocity. I guess I'm doubting how well hitter can actually control spray angle
Ben Clemens
8:06
Yeah look it's hard to talk for three hours!
I think that a lot of 'oh well placed grounder there!' is talking to fill space, personally

Also, “That grounder just happened to be well placed but it’s mostly down to luck, not the ability of the hitter” doesn’t really make for energetic commentating imo

Dusty may want to get someone up. I sense trouble for Valdez.

'In the end, all things will end, and really, baseball is just a way of distracting ourselves from the inevitable coming of death'
And to go back to the game, totally agreed David

I think you just previewed meg’s next column

Would never claim credit for Sam's words
8:10
Though there's probably a reason he's the one who brought me on at BP

astros radio is indicating that Maldonado is giving Valdez a tongue-lashing
Ben Clemens
8:10
And that Meg hired me lol

Valdez has lost command of the curve
Valdez hasn't thrown a curve for a strike this inning. Sit dead red.

Robert and Sparky are great,
Ben Clemens
8:10
It's surprising how quickly he lost the handle on it
Meg Rowley
8:12
If ever there's a hitter to get your curve feel back against...
Ben Clemens
8:12
Staz, Zunino clearly wasn't listening to you
8:13
He still isn't locating it in the zone
The Rays are just playing into his hands
Craig
8:13
His hammer looks good enough to get some McCullers level usage

If I were Framber Valdez I would simply pitch a perfect game

Just realized if he hadn't opted out, King Felix might finally be getting his shot in the playoffs tonight
Meg Rowley
8:14
this just occurring to you probably means you're a happier person than i am
Ben Clemens

Wouldn't he have gotten cut for a 40-man crunch at some point this year anyway?
Meg Rowley
8:15
Good god.

Snapping the bat over the thigh is a badass move
Meg Rowley
8:16
Zunino is very strong.
Ben Clemens
8:16
I'm sure I shouldn't actually admit this with Meg here but I used to mention Mike Zunino in my articles more than he really needed to come up b/c I know Meg likes him and I wanted to fit in
Meg Rowley
8:17
hahahaha
TCWHY
8:17
It must be hard to do that. Right?
Ben Clemens
8:17
Oh for SURE
Meg Rowley
8:17
I appreciate his defense and feel very badly that he was rushed by a not great baseball team.
Ben Clemens
8:17
Yeah if I, a reasonably healthy man in my 30s, tried to do that
I'd have a bruised leg and an intact bat

Framber's pitch count is 79. His high this year was 113.

Offseason question for the commercials: Who is the most surprising name we'll see non-tendered this year?
Ben Clemens
8:18
Ooh, this is a great question
Meg Rowley
8:18
Hmmmmm
