Hey friends

8:03

Craig Edwards, Sean Dolinar, and myself will be your hosts for the evening.

Craig Edwards

8:03

Can confirm my presence.

Dave Cameron

8:03

One note; I'm fighting a cold -- sending your kid to daycare has some downsides -- so if any of my comments seem insane, I blame that.

Will there be the excitement of game pace vs laptop battery pace tonight?

Dave Cameron

8:08

No, watching from home this time. Which means there will be excitement from toddler and dog vying for my attention.

Cubs fan: who should I be rooting for?

Sean Dolinar

8:08

Hi, everyone. I had to remember my password...It's been a while since Opening Day.

Dave Cameron

8:08

Probably the Nationals. No Strasburg means they're a bit easier opponent, I think.

Minty

8:08

I'm just rooting for a big Harper AB and some quality pitching from Urias.

Dave Cameron

8:09

Pretty sure we'll get at least one big Harper AB.

Craig Edwards

8:09

I would also side with the Nationals. Scherzer going tonight means he can't pitch until game 3. Kershaw is currently lined up for Game 2.

HERE WE GO

5 Run Homer

8:10

Does Urias pitch tonight and if so how much and when?

Dave Cameron

8:10

Definitely. I'd guess 2 innings, probably 6-7.

Clayton Kershaw

8:10

I'm ready to go if needed.

Blue Moon

8:11

Chances we see Jansen before the 8th inning tonight?

Dave Cameron

8:11

Zach Britton

8:11

I'm ready to go too if needed :(

Nodog

8:12

Better route than he took on the Justin Turner flyball in Game 4, for sure.

Zmccoy

8:12

Will we see Baez tonight after that ugly outing in game 4?

Dave Cameron

8:12

Guessing they're going to try to stay away from Baez and Avilan tonight.

Craig Edwards

8:12

there isn't a reasonable scenario where Jansen pitches in the 7th or earlier. Not one good for the Dodgers anyway.

Dave Cameron

8:12

Update: my son just brought me our rice cooker.

britishcub

8:13

Can't root for the dodgers of the 5 teams remaining they have the most recent title...it's someone else's turn! (tad sarcastic even if true)

Michelle

8:13

Please keep giving us updates on the child, wife and dog.

Dave Cameron

8:14

90 mph change?

Craig Edwards

8:14

If you are rooting for players who haven't won one yet, Adrian Gonzalez and Clayton Kershaw have to be pretty high on the list.

Dave Cameron

8:14

The velocity in MLB now is ridiculous.

Jason

8:14

Curious what fan graphs intelligentsia thinks of Turner in cf short and long term

Dave Cameron

8:15

I think it's the best spot for him. That speed is wasted in the infield.

8:15

Jays are actually more recent. 93

Zmccoy

8:15

If Cubs win the World Series, does Theo go down as best sports exec ever?

Craig Edwards

8:16

I think Branch Rickey is going to hold on to that one for a while.

Dave Cameron

8:16

I would hope that no one is judging the quality of an executive based on the results of an LCS.

Would you think less of Theo today if the Giants bullpen didn't suck?

Nick

8:17

time for all the curveballs

BLA

8:17

Turner seems like he moves slowly laterally for a guy with his speed
