Maybe they don't like the Siri voice they picked
Finnegan's Seam-shifted Wake
5:30
Maybe they were using code words
Ben Clemens
5:30
I don't think so, but the spirit of the comment is something I agree with so I'm going with it
Morbo
5:30
Maybe Wilson Contreras is just a button masher and clicks like 4 buttons?
Ben Clemens
5:30
I would love that if it was a video game controller and he was trying to do combos
Vin
5:31
Ben I think that's how you call for a slurve
SJ

Jon Daniels was doing a radio interview today and said that each team records their own audio outputs for the device. Maybe the Cubs just hated the voice of the intern who got roped into doing it.
Duke of Barrel
5:32
Conteras kept entering the konami code
Morbo
5:32
How does it work with darvish and his 18 pitches?
Meg Rowley
5:32
You can do custom stuff
Duke of Barrel
5:33
how does fingers work with darvish's 18 pitches?
Doug Lampert

Live scoreboard has now updated to show the cubs at 3-3 in the 7th, MLB has it 4-5 in the eighth. So better, but not fixed yet.
Meg Rowley
5:34
Yeah, David's looking at it
Morbo
5:36
There are 120 permutations of 5 objects
Meg Rowley
5:37
They probably tilt it toward his most common ones and then would use signals for the rest
5 Run Homer
5:37
I never realized how small David Robertson is
Meg Rowley
5:37
Not a tall guy!
Fish
5:37
David should only be working on closing this game
Ben Clemens
5:37
He's a proficient multi-tasker
Rich Minford

Just signed up today. Enjoying the banter and all other perks on Fangraphs. Well worth escaping the fan club morons for $25.
Meg Rowley
5:38
Thank you!

(For the math nerds) 5! = 120
Ben Clemens
5:38
I don't think that's how they actually call Darvish, but I mean, I think PitchCom could come up with something
Meg Rowley
5:39
Remember when the broadcast booth spent half the World Series confusing Amed and Eddie Rosario?
Luke Hooper
5:40
lol
Morbo
5:40
Yeah, I 'membr

Random comment.Brandon Belt seems to be one of the most underrated players. He’s had a fine career but seems to catch a lot of flak.
Luke Hooper
5:40
He certainly has looked like one of the best hitters in the game the last couple years, but it's not a massive sample of being at that level thanks to some untimely injuries.
5:41
the humidor in SF could help even more
RTJ
5:42
Cubs become leaders in the clubhouse (is that a Masters joke?)
Ben Clemens
5:43
To the guest who was worried about Bieber's velo
I'm more worried now
particularly now that he's out
Only going 4 2/3 is kinda scary?
5:44
I missed the at-bat preceding the one where he was removed
But the early pitch data doesn't look great
Eel Ffilc
5:44
He was at a 70ish pitch limit
Ben Clemens
5:44
That explains that!
Luke Hooper
5:44
His slider looked great though.
Ben Clemens
5:44
STill worried about the velo but it's cold there so I'll give him a pass
Connecting…
