This is a really small thing, but when you pull up a game on Gameday now, the name of the tab is 'Free Live (game)'
So I have 'Free Live White Sox at Angels' as a tab
and like, guys, we don't need the adjectives

Trout another walk - drink
Ben Clemens
11:57
I am, coincidentally, opening another beer, an Anderson Valley amber
Also Ben

Must be SEO so MLB beats out all the other people searching for free White Sox at angels
Ben Clemens

Rendon is great
apropos of nothing, I just love watching him hit
Is there a player who projects more cool?

Since he's on screen rn, KG, is there an heir apparent to Strom?
Kevin Goldstein

Bill Murphy is wonderful.

Fernando Tatis Jr.
Ben Clemens

Fair
Different kind of cool
Kevin Goldstein
11:59
In the Rendon school of cool, I'd put up Brantley.

Ben Clemens

Solid one
I really like the laid back hitters
Kevin Goldstein
12:00
Me too.
slow the game down.
Phil White
12:01
Is Mike Trout a laid back hitter
Ben Clemens
12:01
I don't think so. He looks more like he's building up power to me
Dodger Fan
12:02
Hey hey it's still Thursday here! Why is the chat trying to manipulate my sense of time?
Kevin Goldstein
12:02
Chat time is EST. Them's the rules.

Favorite current player to watch hit? Mine is Juan Soto and its not even close
Ben Clemens
12:02
Soto is a lot of fun
I'd put him, Harper, and Rendon on my list
Harper's swing is gorgeous
Phil White
12:02
Prime Robby Cano is some of my favorite hitting, not sure if it's laid back
Kevin Goldstein
12:02
Yes, Laid back. With his mind on his money and his money on his mind.
Dodger Fan
12:02
Mine is Cody Bellinger and I am not at all biased.
Duhawks
12:04
Favorite current payer to watch field a routine ground ball to third. Mine is Kyle Seager and it isn't even close.
Ben Clemens
12:04
This is a much more specific question
Jake Mailhot
12:05
Chapman, because he makes everything look routine
Ben Clemens
12:05
I saw Matt Chapman getting some fungoes hit to him when I showed up early to a Mets game once, and it was awesome
Kevin Goldstein
12:05
Yeah, Chapman, easy.
BunkMcNultys
12:05
Machado a close second to Chapman
Ben Clemens
12:06
Machado has a 'fine whatever I'll field this' vibe that I love
Eric A Longenhagen
12:06
Very lucky to have seen Rolen thru Chappy/Machado/Arenado and now Hayes
