Dan Szymborski

4:38

Well, he couldn't field...

wonder mike

4:38

for reference:

just enjoying a bath, the way you do

Sonny

4:38

I found myself listening to the Yankees radio broadcast constantly this year and I have no earthly reason why.

Ben Clemens

4:38

I like Sterling!

Dan Szymborski

4:38

What kind of bath analysis does A-Rod have?

Ben Clemens

4:38

His voice is very baseball-y to me, even though I'm not a Yankees fan at all

Dan Szymborski

4:38

"To make a bath hotter, you want to turn on the cold water so that the hot water feels hotter after the cold water."

Ben Clemens

4:39

Dan that's a joke but I'm in favor of doing that

Hot-cold-hot is a great way to feel very warm

Not with the water IN the tub, but if you were, say, in a hot tub in the snow

Dan Szymborski

4:39

"No More Tears shampoo means that you can eat it. I put it on my cereal every day."

4:40

I hate when I'm getting a haircut and I'm asked what "product" I use.

Uhh...shampoo? Soap?

I actually use No More Tears shampoo because I have a tendency to pour shampoo directly into my eye.

Ben Clemens

4:40

As someone who uses hair product, the question is not actually all that much more useful to me

I just say "I don't know, some gel-type stuff?"

wonder mike

4:41

"Some guys only put Head & Shoulders shampoo in their hair. What you really need to be doing is put it on your shoulders as well, in order to squeeze the full value out of the product."

Dan Szymborski

4:41

Dang, I hate when someone does the joke better than I do.

Ben Clemens

4:41

Not that anyone cares, but I like the corners-only box more than the full box

David K

4:42

Am I crazy for worrying about whether Cohen gets approved as Mets owner?

Ben Clemens

4:42

I dislike the feeling of being told what's a strike (in a way that is sometimes misleading) but having just part of it is a cool way to handle it

Dan Szymborski

4:42

I think so

Ben Clemens

4:42

Yeah I think it's a slam dunk

Dan Szymborski

4:43

This dumb fielding percentage discussion is making my brain explode.

Jeff

4:43

how correlated are player uniforms to performance? Is it really zero?

Dan Szymborski

4:43

There's a high correlation between sucking and wearing the uniform of the team Jeff Bridich makes decisions for!

Ben Clemens

4:44

Davis Dinger is definitely surprising to me

4:45

I mean, that's not where you want to throw a pitch

Oscar the Grouch

4:45

There's a high correlation between player performance and whether they're wearing a home or away uniform in a given game

Ben Clemens

4:45

I bet you it's not as high as you think. The home edge is pretty small and player-to-player variation is pretty large

4:46

But yeah, if you could play all home games you'd surely be better

Oscar the Grouch

4:46

(honestly more trying to echo dan's wording with "high correlation" as anything else)

5 Run Homer

4:46

A few years ago the San Jose Sharks took nearly all the striping off their jerseys and said that they'd be faster with "lighter" jerseys

Ben Clemens

4:46

Lolllll

Jkim

4:47

You clearly have not been familiarized with a famous /r/dodgers post about the correlation between the tightness of Kiké Hernandez's pants and his performance

Ben Clemens

4:48

It's very Dodgers that there's a person directly behind home plate wearing a logo sweatshirt

And it's for University of Michigan

La Pantera

4:50

Re: short rest this year. Kevin Cash just in his media avail Snell would go in a game 5 if it gets there.

Ben Clemens

4:50

Yeah I don't think he has any choice with their roster. I just don't like it.

They basically have 11 relievers and 3 starters

Connecting…
