Ever end up behind a slow group on the sidewalk?

Lance Biggerstaff

4:19

Wait wait wait... Devenski isn't on the roster?

Jeff Sullivan

4:19

And Peacock had one of baseball's very highest strikeout rates!

Jay Jaffe

4:20

I live in NYC. It happens every damn day, Jeff. And as a Fast Walker, it drives me bonkers

Jeff Sullivan

4:20

Long live the Fast Walkers!

Hey y'all, any reminders of our mortality for us chatters today? Tough news day for a lot of people.

Jay Jaffe

4:20

I'm going to a wake for a college friend tonight. That's about as much reminding of mortality as I need.

Idiot fan

4:21

If a player fails an offseason PED test could they retire to avoid it coming out or would it anyway and if so is their any whispers of this having happened?

Jeff Sullivan

4:21

I'm guessing it would eventually leak

Everything leaks

Chris Correa would leak it

Nick

4:22

Should the DS be 7 games?

Walter Benjamin

4:22

Any Fangraphs writers on PEDs?

Meg Rowley

4:23

I'm trying to decide when I can open a beer and not get fired.

Jay Jaffe

4:23

re division series length: Maybe. But I think you need to shorten the regular season for that to happen. I'm not opposed to it.

Jeff Sullivan

4:23

Carson has alcohol with breakfast

Meg Rowley

4:23

Well he's effectively European

Jay Jaffe

4:23

Re PEDs: Dan is stacking Deca, and I'm taking Winstrol

HappyFunBall

4:24

Hey guys, look! There's actual baseball happening now!

Meg Rowley

4:25

Right now Mindy Kaling is telling me to go to dinner with friends

Dan Szymborski

4:25

I need to lose mass, not gain it.

Anonymous

4:25

Baseball in the olympics. How do we make it happen?

Jay Jaffe

4:26

by using minor leaguers. And also by jailing everybody on the IOC.

Hold me close, ohtani dancer

4:27

Verlander's punchout of Kipnis was nuts. That low fastball just below the knees is absolutely unhittable but also almost too close to take

CamdenWarehouse

4:27

Why do you think they make oatmeal stouts?

Meg Rowley

4:28

The only thing about him being very, very good again that bums me out is that the odds Félix takes his path are effectively zero now.

Jay Jaffe

4:28

because they're delicious, even if they don't actually have much oat in them.

Meg Rowley

4:28

Not a stout person myself, which is not meant as an insult toward those who do. Drink what you like.

CamdenWarehouse

4:30

if not oatmeal stout, then what is your breakfast beer of choice?

Meg Rowley

4:30

A mimosa with grapefruit juice.

Jeff Sullivan

4:31

Ryan Pressly with the Astros this year: 23.1 innings, 3 walks, 32 strikeouts

Has three pitches and basically started using them all in a 1:1:1 ratio

42% chase rate, 53% in-zone swing rate

Great, great find and trade. Why pay retail?

Hold me close, ohtani dancer

4:32

No matter how good the astros 'pen is, as a Yankee fan who's seen them exposed time and again, I'm just not nearly as scared of them as their starters

Jeff Sullivan

4:32

Well they also have the best starters

4:33

The Astros are -- and I mean this -- absurdly good

It is absurd for a baseball team to be so good

Nate

4:33

It's nice to see FG taking a whole staff approach to beer advice since Eno's departure

Sean Dolinar

4:33

We'll probably have less beer in the Winter Meetings suite, though.
