I honeslty don't remember hearing much about his defense
Not Evan

Is Ken Rosenthal respected in these circles? I can't tell if I'm supposed to be smirking at everything he says.

Anybody in our profession who doesn't respect Ken is an idiot. The guy is a mensch as well as an excellent reporter. The first time I sat in a press box for a 2010 Sunday night Mets-Yankees game, he was friendly and helpful when he could have big-leagued me, and we'e since gotten to sit together many times (Fox and SI seats at Yankee Stadium used to be adjacent). I've done a bit of TV with him, which is always fun. He blurbed my book... my wife gets to edit some of his stuff at The Athletic. Quality, quality dude.
Reunited and it feels so good

I read Kapler is interviewing with the Gigantes.  Due diligence or legitimate interest?
AvatarJay Jaffe
9:42
probably legitimate interest given that Zaidi and Kapler worked together in LA. God knows why as far as how legitimate the interest is, but it doesn't hurt to get an outside perspective on your roster.

Yeah, everybody likes Ken.
Hire Joe Morgan?
9:42
Guaranteed contracts are so important for baseball players, I can't imagine any solution that undermines that.

Greinke just balked? Or no? What is a balk, anyway? Is that a balk?
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:43
A balk is anything that you look at and think "hmm, that just ain't right"

Fangraphs 2016 judge scouting 60 arm great body control. Making him the ideal RF

You can just say "an RBI" b/c "one or more RBIs" sounds weird
That Guy

So did NYY hire a hypnotist to convince Gleyber that every team he faces is the Orioles?

93 mph EV,  343 ft,  gotta love the ridiculousness of the Crawford boxes
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:45
Do you really need Aaron Judge to go around and tell people that Gleyber is great?

yes because he's tall, Dan. Tall people are right more often than short people. As a short people I know this

good lord if i actually listened to this broadcast I'd lose 30 IQ points by the 7th inning stretch

"The two teams that hit the most home runs in the postseason were the Dodgers and Braves and they're both out." <trails off>

the home run was just confirmed by the “live” radio broadcast

At least they got rid of Tal's Hill.  Crawford boxes are harder to redesign out.

Which of these current signings does Andrew Friedman rue the most. Extending Roberts.  Extending Kershaw. Joe Kelly signings. AJ Pollock signing.
AvatarDan Szymborski

Pollock
Hire Joe Morgan?

That's why we need Fangraphs chats for every game.
Save us, Jay.

Giancarlo Stanton out of play, run(s).

how deep is the poo poo that the Cardinals now find themselves in down 0-2?
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:49
Quite. One of them was a Sanchez team and both at home.
Sanchez game
JOE BUCK!!!

BAH GAWD THAT'S STANTON'S INTRO MUSIC!!!
AvatarJay Jaffe
9:53
got called in on toddler detail and missed the Stanton home run in real time. 110.7 off the bat, whew
That Guy
9:54
Greinke's stuff was shaky to start and he's in the third time through the lineup, should the pen have been warming long before this?
AvatarJay Jaffe
9:54
He didn't look great based on the hard-hit balls but 12 swings and misses on 83 pitches ain't nothing.
I'd have gotten the pen going at 2-0 though
9:55
which is easy to say now
