Alan Nathan is a great Twitter follow, incidentally
And Lucas Giolito is a witch, as you can clearly see from the graph
Kevin Goldstein
11:18
Giolito has gotten a little loose command wise. Two walks. Ramped up a couple pitches here and there.
Wow
11:18
Ben, thanks for answering, but I asked that when I was two beers in and now I have no idea what you're talking about.
Ben Clemens
11:18
In good company
Chamaco
11:18
Not sure what is more incredible - that Giolito can do that, or guys can hit him
Ben Clemens
11:18
Right? Major league hitters are so good
Dodger Fan

Except for Austin Hedges /s
Ben Clemens
11:19
I've written a lot of articles about Jeff Mathis and Austin Hedges
Thank god for them

80 hair: Yuli, Harper, Galvis, Keynan Middleton, Dustin May (sorry, Parks), Glasnow, Bichette, Tatis...idk that's a good list
Ben Clemens
11:20
Yuli?? I dunno man
Kevin Goldstein
11:20
Players I still like, despite the fact that I shouldn't: 1. Austin Hedges.
Eric A Longenhagen
11:20
Middleton's dreads having the Mariners blue and green in there is super sick
Kevin Goldstein
11:20
Yuli is 80 hair.
Hair
11:20
Why are you guys ignoring my Sean Manaea hair comment
Kevin Goldstein
11:20
Giolito has become mortal.
Hair
11:20
If May is an 80 so is Synnderggard.
Ben Clemens
11:20
Hard disagree
Eric A Longenhagen
11:20
also strong
Ben Clemens
11:21
Syndergaard's doesn't work as well as May's
I think May's whole Waluigi vibe makes the hair better
Kevin Goldstein
11:21
oh crap, I thought Pujols got that.
Ben Clemens
11:21
deGrom did a good job switching from long to short, while we're on long hair
Morbo
11:22
Jeff Mathis had shockingly good statcast numbers last year. .393 wOBACON
Ben Clemens
11:22
Self promotion time?
Self promotion time

deGrom is so much better looking with short hair
Ben Clemens
11:23
Mookie Betts and Jeff Mathis had (a very few) similar batted ball metrics last year
Oddball Herrera
11:23
All these hair styles are but pale attempts to eclipse vintage Mariners Randy Johnson
Kevin Goldstein
11:23
Oscar Gamble is the GOAT
Dodger Fan
11:23
deGrom also throws harder with shorter hair. Analysis!
Nate
11:23
Can we take a minute to admire NOBs that have to curve around the jersey to fit in? Yaz's jersey giving me Saltalamacchia vibes.
Eric A Longenhagen
11:23
I met a bunch of the people at Majestic who used to put those on there before Nike took over. Lotta nice older ladies.
Ben Clemens
11:24
STRANGE-GORDON looks good on a jersey
Chaz

Ball’s not dead
Eric A Longenhagen
11:24
Yeah it was really flying today, I thought.
