Muncy.
K, K, popout. Can't ask for a better post-HR shutdown.
Nate

Which manager would dominate Jeopardy?
Kevin Goldstein
9:53
Hinch comes to mind.
Nate
9:53
La Russa only sprints to yell at pitchers and buy liquor. I'd trust his speed there.
Nicklaus Gaut
9:53
More of a penguin walk nowadays, though.
Roach
9:54
How does Waino keep getting in 0-2 counts and then lose any ability to throw a strike?
Nicklaus Gaut
9:54
CB's been unreliable.

McClanahan, Baz, Rasmussin has potential to shock and be best rotation now that Kershaw is out, right?
Kevin Goldstein
9:54
Kershaw was their 4 starter at best anyway.

I prefer bat carry down to first
Nicklaus Gaut
9:55
In the right moment, I really like a nice carry to first followed by an oh so gentle drop.

Okay, so Rangers prospect Ricky Vanasco: Ricky Vanasco - Stats - Pitching | FanGraphs Baseball
TJ late in 2020, has basically missed two seasons
first outing back from rehab today:

Is Counsell under-the-radar awesome? Every Manager seems to have very public detractors - whether fair or not. But no one knocks Counsell, ever.
Kevin Goldstein
9:55
He's one of the best managers in baseball. I can't imagine any argument against that.
Eric A Longenhagen
9:56
95-98, needs to be added to the Texas 40-man or is exposed to the Rule 5
Derek
9:56
Maddon seems like someone who likes trivia
Nicklaus Gaut
9:56
But he seems like he would like playing trivia more than actually know the answers..Would just be shouting out anything, just happy that the group is having fun together.
Dan
9:56
Apparently that's the first Postseason HR Wainwright has given up on his curveball in his career
Kevin Goldstein
9:57
Joe Kelly warming....
BillR

Which manager wins Survivor?
Nicklaus Gaut
9:57
I don't know but David Samson would definitely get last.
Jeremy
9:58
Shifting Goldschmidt--good idea or no?
Kevin Goldstein
9:58
They do it for a reason. It's not just a hunch.
John Bowker Burner Account

My roommate still shudders every time Wainwright drops the hammer (Mets fan)
Nicklaus Gaut
9:59
I'm confident that someday science will advance enough to unfreeze Carlos Beltran.

Where do Tingler and Rojas end up this off-season?
Kevin Goldstein
9:59
I could see Rojas getting a bench coach gig somewhere. Still very well respected.
Nicklaus Gaut

Only one run but the mechanical issues that Scherzer said he was dealing with in his last two starts don't appear to be fixed.
10:01
Just can't locate the fastball.
Jeremy
10:02
I know it's not just a hunch! FG has an article questioning whether shifting righties is ever a good idea! Teams seem to vary a *lot* in their willingness to shift on righties, which suggests that it's not *obvious* whether it's a good idea. I'm sure the Dodgers have their reasons--but are they good reasons?
Kevin Goldstein
10:02
I'm going to trust the Dodgers' data here. I'd trust their data more than most teams....
Eric A Longenhagen
10:02
Joe Kelly groundball rates up around 60% last three years, really need one of those right now
Kyle
10:03
do you think there are teams whose in-game strategy decisions (shifting, subs, etc.) would be *worse* than, say, the FG staff acting as a manager?  my guess is heck no but idk
Eric A Longenhagen
10:03
depends which of us is managing
Nicklaus Gaut
10:04
Four walks are his highest since May 19.
10:05
But located that gas!
