Yeah a real downer of an outing there
Bobby K
12:50
should moncada have let the ball go foul...maybe? Tough play there
Ben Clemens
12:50
I don't think so
Kevin Goldstein

Nice to get the ESPN coverage. Before we finish, a quick reminder that we're currently having a membership drive, so head on over to fangraphs.com and become a member if you haven't already done so. It means more content, it means more chats, it means we get to keep doing whatever the hell it is we do.
Ty France RBI single!
Ben Clemens
12:50
Vive Ty France
Jake Mailhot
12:51
Mariner bats start to come alive against the Giants bullpen
graham
12:51
je suis Ty
John Jaso Jingle Heimer Schmidt
12:52
Wisler with ∞ ERA
Jake Mailhot
12:53
Just two fastballs in 14 pitches
John Jaso Jingle Heimer Schmidt
12:53
I think we can let that Wisler debut.... slide.
Ben Clemens
12:53
Yeah, to echo Kevin, it really means a lot to us when people subscribe. It helps us keep doing the nonsense you like, as well as the actually useful stuff you also like
Kevin Goldstein
12:54
Crap, nobody told me about the useful stuff...
Phil White
12:54
Very happy to be a member. Nerd question: is there any SQL-query-able baseball databases out there? Does fangraphs have a public facing one?
Ben Clemens
12:54
Might I recommend this:
Ours is not public-facing, but Bill has some useful tools to scrape Statcast and create your own
alex
12:54
I already subscribe but if I pay more can I get rid of these pop-ups ads that obscure half the screen?
Ben Clemens
12:54
You most certainly can with an ad-free membership

In a tie game in the bottom of the 8th, what's the marginal value to the home team of going up by two runs instead of just by one run?
Ben Clemens
12:55
Check out this sweet tool
Phil White
12:55
Thank you, love to see something R friendly
Kevin Goldstein
12:55
I will add that SO MANY teams have really embraced R.
Phil White
12:55
ad-free membership--totally worth it
JPinPhilly
12:55
I got the ad free membership and it's worth it. I also just bought a mug.
Also Ben
12:55
BaseballR is great, and so is https://github.com/jldbc/pybaseball
Ben Clemens
12:56
I feel inferior for not knowing R
Guest
12:56
"check out this sweet tool" sounds like something artisan JB Wendelken wouldnsayy
Jake Mailhot
12:56
Learning R is on my list of things to do with all that free time I have
Kevin Goldstein
12:56
I pretty much got through "hello world" in R. I do have  a 40 SQL tool.
Jake Mailhot
12:57
I know Python pretty well already so jumping to R shouldn't be too hard, right?
Ben Clemens
12:57
I'm like 45 SQL, 40 Python
that's the theory I think
neuroccountant
12:57
Thank Ben! If only I could figure out how to use the sweet tool!
Ben Clemens
12:57
Basically you put in the state of the game
in each
and it will show you the team's chance of winning
Kevin Goldstein
12:58
oooooh. Altuve takes his time on a ground ball to set his throw (remember last year's issues) and Chad Pinder beats the delayed throw. Mini A's rally going.
Ben Clemens
12:58
There are a few specific things you need to know -- run differential is from the home team's perspective, as is win%
