Does it frustrate anyone else that the Kershaw commercial says he's throwing a CB but the pitch spins like a FB. I'll never buy their tires.
Eric A Longenhagen
8:58
yep!

When do the Dodgers use Pujols? Is it if they need him for the win or if they're losing by enough that they want him to face STL?
Kevin Goldstein
8:58
He'll get a lefty.

Happy for this Pollock/Goldy reunion
Eric A Longenhagen
8:58
that plus Robbie Ray's season, not a great look for the Dbacks
Nicklaus Gaut

Pujols will still crush LHP ten years after he retires.

Beaty going deep here

Deep F9

Surely MiLB already requires other fully approved vaccines.
Kevin Goldstein

Exactly.

Where did Edmuno Sosa come from, and where do the Cards keep finding these obscure but bizarrely good shortstops (like DeJong and Diaz before Sosa)?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:59
he's been around, and pretty good, for a while. contact and glove have long been there

Lotta empty seats. LA traffic remains undefeated

And their apathy.
Kevin Goldstein

Nah, they'll fill that place up.

Which player who has been retired for at least a year would be the best major leaguer today?
Nicklaus Gaut
9:00
The answer is Ichiro for at least 20 more years.
Kevin Goldstein

We talked about best stadiums at night yesterday and Dodger Stadium is right there with anywhere.
Cam

So close. I was nearly Nostradamus, instead I'm a fool
Nicklaus Gaut

More like Closetradamus.

What's most important when building a championship team? Amateur draft, international signings, or pro trades/rule 5 picks?
Kevin Goldstein
9:01
D. All of the above.

Playoff games at Dodger Stadium are always some of the least rowdy
Nicklaus Gaut
9:01
They don't really start beating up opposing fans until the 7th.

Eric, are AFL tickets still absurdly expensive?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:02
$9 for adults, think that's $2 or $3 more than before
Cut slurve

How’s Puig doing these days?
Kevin Goldstein
9:02
Hit .312/.409/.517 in Mexico this year....
Nicklaus Gaut
9:02
Location just seems off. hasn't got much better since the first.
KM

What’s the most overrated aspect of the big league manager position
Kevin Goldstein
9:03
In-game strategy.
Kyle Kishimoto

i looked on the AFL website the other day, i think they had a season pass for $100
Eric A Longenhagen
9:03
that's a good deal if you're hitting three games per week or more
Nicklaus Gaut
9:03
Most underrated: still wearing full uniforms
Dan
9:04
Did anyone else think that Juan Soto and Kevin Long were wearing their own jerseys in the stands...
Nicklaus Gaut
9:04
Soto is good enough that I'd allow him to do it.

Will Molina and Wainwright set the record for most starts by a batter?  (They're at 304, and would need 325 to break the record.)
Kevin Goldstein
9:04
Should happen next year, no?
Ultimate Jake Cave Fan

Scherzer doesn't have the command tonight. Think we'll see Urias in relief?
