Freezing cold take - ARod is not good in a booth/desk role

Ben Clemens

3:35

I found him okay on the desk

I think I mentioned this before

3:36

But I liked that he seemed like a good-natured oaf who was trying to make everyone like him

and honestly I don't care at all what they say at the post-game desk, I'm not there for the baseball takes

In the booth he is actively terrible

He doesn't know the players and it shows

Safety Stegosaurus

What are the chances Arenado gets a gold glove for his left field defense this season?

Ben Clemens

3:36

That play was really something else

Derek

At least A-Rod gave us all the Even Runs Theorem.

Ben Clemens

3:37

Very true

And the 'you're my favorite tool, Pete' gloriousness

Is there a connection stronger than Kyle Wright and baserunners? 9 hits and 7 walks through 6 IP is not great.

michael jordan, tiger woods, aaron judge

Boy, feels like we're getting to the end of the string here

Does the universal DH increase Realmuto’s salary demands? He would maintain his PAs as he ages.

Ben Clemens

3:37

Yeah I think so

Oscar Mercado. Droppable. Si or No?

Ben Clemens

3:37

Si

3:38

But not like, just to do it

He's been a bit overrated though I think

Underlying stuff didn't match the performance

3:39

On that note, I'm gonna head out. Somebody needs to cover the Cardinals skipping their Detroit trip and there's a decent chance that's me

Thanks so much for talking baseball with me today, guys

Tomorrow I'll have an OOTP Brewers update and stream

And next week hopefully we'll be able to talk board game

I played Wingspan for the first time this weekend, loved it
