Kumar Rocker update: 6 4 0 0 1 8 on 89 pitches against a struggling LSU squad.
Ben Clemens
10:16
I am too; I'm not worried about the downtick in contact quality last year b/c he was dealing with COVID, but I do want to see him get back to attacking earlier in the count

@Ben, how's Ruby?
MC07
10:17
If Correa can make it through a full season (~150gms), what does his FA contract look like? 10/$250m too high?
Kevin Goldstein
10:17
It's tough to see him getting 150 games with his track record, but if he does, and he's good, he's getting more than 250....
Ben Clemens
10:17
She is doing great. I was a little late b/c we are working on leaving her alone in the apartment (she has separation anxiety unfortunately), and she was here 50 minutes without so much as a peep
Blue Morpho

Giants twelfth consecutive season opening up on the road wow.

KG- Have a Greinke story to add to the legend?
Kevin Goldstein
10:17
I've never spoken to him.
10:18
Greinke is totally into scouting and loves seeing draft guys and in a normal world I would have had a chance to maybe go to a game in Florida with him, but 2020 wasn't that normal world unfortunately.
Ben Clemens
10:18
Albert Pujols has batted 6th 18 times more often than 2nd in his career
Alaska Pete
10:18
5-4-3 DP! Kevin, are you saying I can't conclude he sucks after the first at bat??! He's a bum!! oh wait, Marco for Cy Young!
Kevin Goldstein
10:18
That's the Opening Day reaction spirit!
Dodger Fan

Wow Dusty Baker's mask
Kevin Goldstein
10:19
Dusty's mask game is always strong.
Ben Clemens
10:19
Exacly 8 PA in the 2 spot, which feels weird
George
10:19
Give me these elevated changes from Giolito.
Ben Clemens
10:19
Yeah they're so fun
Kevin Goldstein
10:19
Dusty once also called me a "cool motherf***er" and I have that forever.
Ben Clemens
10:19
Will David Fletcher run a 100% strikeout rate this year? Stay tuned
Eric A Longenhagen
10:20
Ethan Long single plates ASU's first run. 3-1 Wildcats. Mishandled throw on the infield allows tying run in scoring position, nobody out here yet.
Kevin Goldstein
10:20
Nice play by Longo and Belt on a tough 5-3 play.
Blessed Adoye
10:20
Any thoughts on the Fletcher extension?
Ben Clemens
10:21
Dan is writing it up, I love David Fletcher so much that I can't be impartial
ChrisG
10:21
Speaking of Rocker - \ Leiter/Rocker best 1-2 college combo since Bauer/Cole?
Kevin Goldstein
10:21
Gotta be....am I missing someone(s), Eric?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:21
I don't think so
Kevin Goldstein
10:21
Ty France is up: KG breakout pick.
Eric A Longenhagen
10:21
nobody came to mind right away, certainly no better tandem.
6% walk rate KG, that doesn't scare you?
10:22
xStats from '19 are insane tho
Kevin Goldstein
10:22
He can HIT
Alaska Pete
10:22
I was just going to ask about your opinion of France. Seems like a huge bat, even if the defense is a work in progress.
Kevin Goldstein
10:22
It's a bat.
Ben Clemens
10:23
If you guys have a spare 3.5 hours, I think KG and I spent maybe 1.5 minutes of his podcast talking about him
Eric A Longenhagen
10:23
Hancock and Wilcox were good too but not *this* good. Silseth balked in a run, 3-2.
Ben Clemens
10:23
When I was trying to play Cistulli and come up with a Fringe 5, every single sort I did was putting France at the top
Kevin Goldstein
10:24
Thanks for the set up Ben! If you missed it, Ben and I previewed the 2021 season on my podcast that came out today. We talked about every team, so we talked for almost three and a half hours. Listen here! https://blogs.fangraphs.com/chin-music-episode-7-he-had-that-haircut-i...

Kevin Goldstein
10:24
