But that's about it

Dusty Unfiltered is starting off well
That felt pretty genuine to me

If dusty were to take mccullers out, would he take the headset with him?
Ben Clemens
5:03
I sure hope so

Has anyone ever looked at hair length on pitcher effectiveness? I feel like I was more fearful of McCullers before he was rocking a 1991 Roger McDowell

Why the bleep is Murphy hitting ninth?
Ben Clemens
5:05
Excellent question
5:06
They do have a deep lineup

Is Murphy eligible for ROY? I feel like that is a pretty justifiable vote if so
Ben Clemens
5:06
He is and I expect him to get plenty of support.

He'd probably be 3rd if I had a ballot this year
(I'll typically vote in NL anyway not AL)

How long a leash do you give McCullers with no off days?
Ben Clemens
5:07
I might just pull him here
There are two ways to think about it
One, let him wear it
Save the bullpen
Two, if you take him out now it's more reasonable to use him as your Game 5 starter
5:09
This zone has been consistently generous

The Big Unit was probably at his peak when his locks were at their most out of control. But I'm willing to accept correlation there instead of causation. I feel like once he stuff took a few ticks back he got more conservative with his mane.

Given it is 5 straight games, do the Astros just let McCullers wear it if he keeps giving up runs?
AvatarDan Szymborski

I think they have to
If it gets out o fcontrol, they can't afford to burn out their bullpen

Looking at the Savant live feed, I see the xBA column. It's become one of my favorite stats to peruse. What future improvements do you guys think they could make to make it more accurate? Could they feasibly incorporate something like fielder positioning more?
Ben Clemens
5:11
I think they could just incorporate spray angle
Which is similar to fielder positioning, sure
But xBA is kinda weird on grounders
5:12
It does a great job of sanity-checking balls in the air for me
Like oh was he actually unlucky for that to be caught?
But it feels weird to hit one right to the shortstop and be like
That's a hit 7 times out of 10!

What would you rather do: Listen to Correa defend the Astros or listen to ARod give a lecture on why bunting is the best way to score runs?
Ben Clemens
5:13
A Rod because dunking on A Rod is fun
Some of A Rod's badness is offset by the communal experience of listening to him and then complaining about it
5:14
With the Astros I am just annoyed
5:15
Lol Robbie Grossman with actually zero hops
