AvatarDan Szymborski

He's tendered

For how much Joe Buck talked about Greinke only using 28 pitches through 3 innings, you think he would’ve noticed Tanaka is at the same number
AvatarJay Jaffe
8:57
one great thing about chatting through the games is that I don't pay attention to the broadcasters
AvatarDan Szymborski

They have an outside chance of finishing four full in an hour. In a game with the Yankees or Red Sox involved!
5 Run Homer

The problem with The Show is that it’s PlayStation-exclusive

Damn it, Dan, this game is now going to go 37 innings and we'll still be chatting about it tomorrow at 4 pm
AvatarDan Szymborski
8:57
Yup and Yup
8:58
It was always going to be exclusive because it's made by Sony themselves.
And that it was made by Sony is the only reason it was allowed to exist.

Dan do you have to pay licenses to MLBPA?
AvatarDan Szymborski

I like ESPN radio’s team you can mute the TV and listen to them?

A LeMahieu single, a wild pitch, and a Gleyber Torres double puts the Yankees on the board first

Re: baseball video games, Bad News Baseball on NES is all I've ever needed. It's like RBI but plays a bit faster, it's perfect.

My guess is that way more Fangraphs readers would like OOTP than have tried it. Pee pee!
JOE BUCK!!!

REMEMBER THAT TIME I SAID THAT I DON'T EVEN LIKE BASEBALL!?!

How many more years does the Astros' competitive window stay open for?

They have a while yet. It's when the farm system starts to thin too quickly that you kinda start reaching that money/star spiral of death.
AvatarJay Jaffe
9:00
They have to produce some starting pitching to keep it open past the Verlander/Greinke contracts
9:01
which isn't to say that that's impossible but they'll have to replace Cole with somebody good. Altuve and Springer will be over 30 next year, but the Bregman/Correa core is still mid-20s
Eric

kidding of course the radio is wayyyy behind

OOTP is one of the coolest games ever
Hire Joe Morgan?
9:01
With those two under contract, what are the chances they pay Cole, too?
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:01
I think there's stilla  chance.
9:02
Depends if they start playing luxtax games
Yup, you need a veteran pitcher to know what kind of hitter is at the plate.
9:03
I'm sure a rookie wouldn't know who Edwin Encarnacion is and he totally wouldn't be talking with coaches about plans to attack different batters before the game.
Hire Joe Morgan?
9:03
Every inning Greinke throws is a little miracle.  This is great.

That's part of the rookie hazing, Dan. They just send em out there.

It took me a moment to realize Dan was responding to FOX not to an unpublished comment here

ohhhhhh, i was wondering if I'd skipped a groove or something

Feels like a lot of teams will be in on Cole, so you see him breaking records?
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:05
For those that missed it, Smoltz was going on about how Greinke, as a veteran, knows what kind of hitter Edwin Encarnacion is.
AvatarJay Jaffe
9:06
Yes, i see a record coming for him. He'll surpass Price, Scherzer and Kershaw
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:06
Smoltz like to start a sentence with veteran and then just plug in whatever weird cliche he makes up after.
Off the cuff, I'll say 7/230
Connecting…
