Maldonado didn't even look surprised that Yandy was yelling
Meg Rowley
8:39
Because Martín seemed conciliatory
yeah
Ben Clemens
8:39
Well, it's especially tough to get out a slump if you're struggling and also they're calling pitches two inches below the zone as strikes, oof
TCWHY
8:39
The wild speculation by the announcers is the best part
Ben Clemens
8:40
Ron's "I know some Spanish" was fun too

So what do yall think about Maldonado's prospects as a manager? He seems to have a great way to manage players.
Ben Clemens
8:41
I could absolutely see that

As Angels scribe Fabian Ardaya just tweeted, things are getting spicy in the Gaslamp
Ben Clemens
8:42
Okay, one last super-spicy non-tender name
8:43
Kris Bryant
Guest

Baez?
Ben Clemens
8:43
He's too much cheaper
Otherwise I'd throw him in there too
Pie
8:43
Ben, wow. The spiciness. After all of the drama surrounding his service time!
Ben Clemens
8:44
"Oh we now agree with the grievance!"
PR machine in full force lol

Isn't schwarber more likely to be non-tendered? Or is that not spicy?
Ben Clemens
8:44
Yeah, I think he's more likely to get non-tendered, but could you IMAGINE if they did it to Bryant?
staz
8:46
How was that a "proper slide"?
Meg Rowley
8:46
(jinxes aren't real but I think we did a thing to the Rays defense)
Ben Clemens
8:46
From the lens of a guy who played in the 80's and a guy who played in the early 2000's but was by most accounts hard-nosed
You're supposed to drive your foot through the pivot man's foot
So I'm sure they think it was proper

Altuve is now 16 for 37 with five home runs in his last 10 games.
Ben Clemens
8:46
Looked out of bounds to me

"Amazing leadership qualities" is how the radio describes Correa
Astros_fan
8:47
so who do you think is in charge of the crowd-noise soundboard?  That would be a fun job.
Ben Clemens
8:48
I think earlier they said it was a sound engineer who normally does concerts?
I will tell you that the A's had some generic nonsense crowd noise and it really took me out of it
They had the exact same roar for a foul ball out of play and a single
Derek
8:48
Yeah the Rays defense is certainly jinxed
Ben Clemens
8:49
Do you guys think Alex Bregman is just sitting in the dugout stewing at everyone else getting called the leader?
Meg Rowley
8:50
lolol
Ben Clemens
8:50
Earlier they relayed an anecdote about Correa calling Springer the leader, now literally Bert Blyleven is saying it's Correa
Bregman just chewing the collar of his t-shirt vehemently
Meg Rowley

Lindbergh and I talked to the M's soundboard operator earlier this season https://blogs.fangraphs.com/effectively-wild-episode-1573-make-some-no...
it was fun
Hugh Duffy

To be fair to Springer, it's a lot longer of a jog in from right field if you have to lecture your pitcher. Better to delegate that to someone in the infield.
Ben Clemens
8:51
Now I really want to see this!
