Scherzer is

I'm into that idea, the big problem is that I'm not sure pitchers really want to keep going that long

Another option would be to play it in summer as an extended all star break once every few years

Didn't Blake Snell once hurt himself moving a statue in his bathroom? Athletes get hurt. It sucks but it's not gonna change.

Ben Clemens

3:12

Yeah but presumably it was a nice statue

I'm a Clarke Schmidt fan.. but Mike King might just be a mid rotation starter if the Yankees stretched him out. He's got two plus pitches and two other solid pitches. I think he can be a #3. Too late for this year, but maybe next year if Severino and Montas leave.

Ben Clemens

3:12

Agreed on this. The Yankees have a lot of these borderline starter/borderline multi-inning reliever types

With the injury to Altuve, does Semien go up a few slots, since 2B is so shallow?

Ben Clemens

3:13

Probably? I haven't given it enough thought to say for sure but I'd feel a bit worse waiting on 2b with one fewer otpion out there

Every try this one? Highly recommend if not https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020993-tofu-and-green-beans-with-...

How do you like Patrick Sandoval's chances tonight against Japan's lineup? Obviously Sandoval vs. Ohtani will be fun...

Ben Clemens

3:13

I have no idea!

I love that I have no idea

Japan has just salted the earth so far, but they haven't played much MLB-caliber pitching

There was a line in the Profar article about his value being hurt relative to Brantley or Drury just because they each have one particular skill that makes them stand out more whereas Profar does everything well enough. Do you agree with this assessment?

Ben Clemens

3:15

Monetarily, yes

Value-wise, I don't think so?

Ummmm

3:15

I know the glowstick seems like the safest option, but I'd be really worried what gets thrown back out afterwards...

Ben Clemens

3:15

Alright, it seems like it's about time to wrap this one up before someone throws a glowstick at me

I hope everyone enjoys the PPR's, and of course Roki Sasaki aka pitching unicorn

3:16

Have a great week, and next week MLB starts!!!!
