Wainwright didn't want to name them
So he just started picking teammates he's friends with
To mess with them
Cat Latos

Sporer really pouring it on thick.. I didn't really have an interest in getting slammed by a writer I admire.. Just like chatting about baseball. Yikes
Paul Sporer
5:24
I'm not trying to slam anybody. Just having a back-n-forth. Pardon me if I'm being seen as mean. I like to debate/argue, it's not personal

Re: our Laureano trying to get more runs for length of HR disscussion earlier....
YardGoat
5:25
Manfred would probably go for that. 7 inning game with ties broken by who hit the longest home run
Jkim
5:25
We need more EPL style chants for players b/c we definitely need braves fans singing Acuña Matata
Paul Sporer
5:25
Gotta get fans back first but yeah
Ben Clemens

I wrote an article about making baseball like Mario Kart today and put in a throwaway joke about how Rob Manfred hates long baseball games
5:26
And got people commenting that he just hates all baseball
Not a great narrative for the commissioner to have
Paul Sporer
5:26
Speaking of EPL, I like Ted Lasso quite a bit and would recommend it to anyone looking for a light watch they can blitz through pretty quickly
The commish and one of their most prominent national announcers (Smoltz) are widely seen as hating the game... sick
Jkim
5:27
Also: "Luis Avilan" to the tune of "Feliz Navidad"
Ben Clemens
5:27
I mean Smoltz just very clearly hates baseball
He's DISGUSTED by 75% of the game today
strikeout swings, pitchers who don't play the right way, bat flips
he's just so off it
Paul Sporer
5:27
So frustrating bc he was SO good on the desk (similar to Arod) and then was even good initially in the booth, but now listening to his games are a chore
Ben Clemens
5:27
I don't know why he keeps announcing
YardGoat

Is there a way to contact people through their fangraphs account? I want to figure out a way to gift a couple of memberships to account holders that don't have the budget room right now without requiring the public posting of contact info
Paul Sporer
5:28
Maybe just tell them to hit you up on Twitter or something, there is no other way to privately contact someone
rusty

the name of one of my fantasy teams this year was just "Manfred Hates Baseball" lol
Paul Sporer
5:28
Gah, Stros get the run back
Ben Clemens
5:29
I'm not the first person to say this, but watch any other sport and the annoucners are just floored by how good the players are
Tony Romo thinks every QB is one adjustment away from being Tony Romo
Paul Sporer
5:29
Imagine if we had a Romo in baseball
Ben Clemens
5:29
Every good basketball announcer just loses their mind talking about how good every player is now
And baseball announcers say modern players suck and don't know how to play
What the hell?
Paul Sporer
5:30
I haaaate the Cowboys with a passion, but loved Romo. He was mistreated by the fans and was a damn fine QB. LOVE him in the booth
Ben Clemens
5:30
Rick Sutclifffe was particularly bad this year
YardGoat

If they happen, who pitches in Game 5 for the Astros-A's and Yankees-Rays? My guess is the Yankees-Rays go short rest for Cole and Snell, but have no idea for the Astros/A's.
Ben Clemens
5:30
I think that's right for Yankees/Rays. The Rays aren't really set up to do anything else
5:31
They might do semi-bullpen, of course
But with Snell as the capstone
Paul Sporer
5:31
MIA/ATL STILLL going
Billy G
5:31
Brantley was such a good signing for the Astros. I hate it
Paul Sporer
5:31
Just a fantastic hitter
