Scherzer hit .243 three years ago!

I'm exporting and then uploading Ricky Vanasco video from instructs today.

Is a Sosa/Dejong pairing enough to keep the Cardinals out of the SS market this offseason?
Nicklaus Gaut
9:17
Probably. Especially with DeJong already locked up.
Farhandrew Zaidman
9:18
Let's take a moment to reflect the fact that this is likely the last post-season where pitchers will hit.
Kevin Goldstein
9:18
Bah, I'm fine if that's the case.
Mac
9:18
How much will Story’s throwing issues affect his free agency?
Nicklaus Gaut
9:18
Not much, imo
Jeremy
9:19
The Phillies should be shopping at the top of the SS market this offseason, right? Will they?
Kevin Goldstein
9:19
They're paying Didi $15.25m next year.....
Nicklaus Gaut
9:19
Bad timing by Sosa but that 75 mph "laser" had an .830 xBA.

Bellinger can't possibly be perma broken, right?
Nicklaus Gaut
9:21
It's hard to say that about a 26-year-old with elite skills...but boy, what a lost season
Kevin Goldstein
9:21
Impossible to say. Nobody here really knows his health status.
Eric A Longenhagen
9:22
cross up on that 2-2?

Kevin Goldstein
9:22
Looked like it.
Nicklaus Gaut
9:22

last four curves have been off.

2021 Postseason is the Aces With Bad Command post-season. It's not catchy, but it's true.
Peter
9:26
can anyone think of past examples of active players showing up to support a former teammate like Soto here?
Nicklaus Gaut
9:27
curve not working. not great.
Geebs

Luckily I don’t consider wild card games playoffs, just a brief extension of the regular season
Kevin Goldstein
9:27
Quick note: MLB might agree with you. Both the press and the teams use regular season credentials for WC games....
I was sure Turner would beat that out.
Nicklaus Gaut
9:27
wow
Eric A Longenhagen
9:27
KG, did you get Turner down the line there?
Nicklaus Gaut
9:27
thought he'd beat it for sure
Kevin Goldstein
9:27
I was typing, but it felt slow.
9:28
23.1% voted 0 runs after the Turner at-bat. Please collect your prizes at the door on your way out.

Will there be live chat for tomorrow's games?
Roach

Boy, Waino's going to be in a rough one if he can't figure out his curve soon because the Dodgers are definitely going to be sitting cutter/sinker.
Eric A Longenhagen
9:30
Yes, David Laurila the only confirmed chatter
Nicklaus Gaut
9:30
Regardless of how the last inning ended, you're right. The curve is off.
Kevin Goldstein
9:31
I'm on game story duty tomorrow: BOS/TB
