Please inform us of said A-Rod comment and "Shaq gasoline thing"

Shaq gasoline:

I hate these Siri ads -- they set off my Homepod.
Ben Clemens
7:51
I say "Okay Ruby" to our dog a lot and Google Home is like "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "Sit""
7:52
Because I haven't figured out how to turn the command phrase away from "Okay (thing that sounds vaguely like google)"

Verlander — 4 batted balls over 100mph in 1st inning, the first time in his career with that many (in statcast era)

Yeesh

Let's get a snack update from the chat
Ben Clemens

I made a cauliflower pizza for lunch, so the half I didn't eat then is my early dinner/snack.
An option
7:54
in any inning that was meant to say
Ben Clemens
7:54
A useful clarification, and still- scary!!!

Yarborough sounds like a nautical term to me.
Meg Rowley
7:54
Also defensible
Ben Clemens
7:54
I think of Scarborough fair
Meg Rowley
7:54
so many former Mariners
Ben Clemens
7:54
Which then gets me back to herbs and spices and I'm hungry too.
All roads lead to snacks.
7:55
Ji-Man!

Most athletic defensive player in this Astros/Rays series: Ji Man Choi, just like we all predicted
Ben Clemens
7:56
This came up peripherally yesterday in chat.
I think Choi is sneaky athletic.
Not NFL linebacker athletic, just, he'd crush you in a game of basketball athletic.
Meg Rowley
7:58
I think that soft-bodied athleticism is more common at catcher, and even there we are perhaps too skeptical of it
5 Run Homer
7:58
I know we just had the dunk conversation the other night, but how many major leaguers wouldn't crush you in a game of basketball?
Ben Clemens
7:58
Oh, I have it near 0
Robot Ump
7:59
I am a robot ump and I am here to automate some jobs into oblivion. But, the umpires have a union. What to do?
Meg Rowley
7:59
We might unplug you for a bit

What's the best way to quantify a player's contribution in a single playoff series? Does WAR work on that short a timeframe?
Ben Clemens
7:59
Use WPA.
It doesn't have defense, which is a shortcoming.
Meg Rowley
7:59
Yeah, agreed
but
for this
Ben Clemens
7:59
But the great part of WAR is that it works via accumulation over time.
Because on average over the long run it'll work.
