Enoli coming in to pitch the 7th for Houston. It's upper 90s, it's a killer slider, and the command will be determined by the roll of a dice.
Ben Clemens

Worst baseball player doing routine thing: Dexter Fowler's routine catch
Terrifies me
Kevin Goldstein
12:06
I wrote about Fowler catching!
Ben Clemens
12:06
It's like he wants you, the viewer, to feel afraid
Kevin Goldstein
Ben Clemens

I'm watching this video even though I know it will upset me
Thanks a lot, KG
Alex Cora
12:08
2021 = Altuve comeback season?
Kevin Goldstein
12:08
It's only one game, but he's looked REALLY good tonight.
Upset you. Imagine working for the team he's on when he's doing that.

Nick Madrigal = Ichiro...who says no?
Ben Clemens
12:09
I do
Kevin Goldstein
12:09
I do. Strongly. While laughing maniacally.
CWS
12:09
Why didn’t the white sox challenge that play?
Ben Clemens
12:09
Wonderful question
BunkMcNultys
12:09
Nick Madrigal = Ichiro, who says yes?
Kevin Goldstein
12:09
Neither Ben nor I.
Ben Clemens
12:10
Ichiro is probably not a good comp for anyone at all
Kevin Goldstein
12:10
He's on the no-comp rule.
Ben Clemens
12:10
Like, there aren't a lot of Ichiros
12:11
I'm pushing Madrigal = Fletcher
As my official comp of the year
anna
12:11
was ichiro really the type of guy that could have hit 30 hrs "if he wanted" or was that just tv analyst gibberish?
Kevin Goldstein
12:11
30 is a bit much, but he had some real raw.
Baseball Eating
12:12
what grade would ichiro's arm/speed/hit tool's get?
Phil White
12:12
Let's hear your 1-5 person no-comp rule list.
Kevin Goldstein
12:12
Ichiro, Bo Jackson, Nolan Ryan, Alex Rodriguez, Greg Maddux.
Ben Clemens
12:12
I just put this here so KG and Eric would answer it
Kevin Goldstein
12:12
arm 80 run 70+ hit 80 (prime Ichiro)
Ben Clemens
12:13
Ichiro's arm is just so dumb
It was excessive
No one needs an outfield arm like that
CWess
12:13
I'm just saying: striking out under 10% of the time with a .350+ BABIP seems like a quality Ichiro recipe to me (nvm the defensive aspect)
Kevin Goldstein
12:13
Ichiro hit balls hard. Nick Madrigal does not hit balls hard. It's a massive difference.
Enoli starts off the 7th giving up a double after a dropped foul pop followed by a walk.
Ben Clemens
12:14
I actually have Andrelton Simmons on my no-comp list
Kevin Goldstein
12:14
There will be another 80 SS, no?
Ben Clemens
12:14
He doesn't play defense like other great shortstops, though
He's so much more arm and awareness, to me
