Ben Clemens

Yeah the slider looked sharp
And Luke, I agree, I think he's even more direct now
5:45
I would not be worried by his results, but always worth keeping an eye on velo early in the season
Random
5:46
How low was the velo today? Isn't his velo always low?
Ben Clemens
5:46
He averaged 90.6, down 2.2mph from last year
Greg
5:46
Guesses on the next time the cubs have the best record in baseball?
Meg Rowley
5:47
Best record? At least five?

Don't worry Brewers fans; everyone always says the games count for more in September, so I assume a loss in April to a division rival can't come back to bite you.
Meg Rowley
5:47
It's literally both Opening Day and one game.
Ben Clemens
5:47
Tomorrow is a good guess
for next time
Meg Rowley

Brandon Belt's career numbers are legitimately dragged down by his awful splits against Kershaw. Like, truly heinous.
Luke Hooper
5:48
4 / 62 with 30 Ks
but 1 double!
Ben Clemens
5:49
Jim Edmonds's theory: He hated having a good spring
If you have a bad spring but feel good about yourself, you can build on that momentum
If you have a good spring, where are you gonna go?
Meg Rowley
5:49
Is this booth... always like this?
Ben Clemens
5:49
Yeah :(
I like Edmonds in small doses, I think that Pujols coming back has brought out some of his worse impulses though
Meg Rowley
5:49
Yeah, I could see how that would be true
Luke Hooper
5:50
Witt is up and Triston McKenzie is in
and there is trash on the field
Reds Fan
5:51
Will I ever get to follow baseball when Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina are not active?
Ben Clemens
5:51
I wouldn't be shocked if Wainwright came back for '23, but if you can stick it out one more year, Molina has already announced that he's retiring
Jacques Pederson
5:51
Jim Edmonds should be in the hall of fame and all player hall of famers should be banned from commentating
Meg Rowley
5:51
Sometimes they're good! I like Blowers on the M's broadcast... they just need to be willing to meet the game where it is now.
Ben Clemens
5:52
Blowers is good. The Mets guys are great (with a huge assist from Gary Cohen steering them)
David Cone is great!
Meg Rowley
5:52
Being a baseball player is such a weird job, and I appreciate hearing about how it hits you as a human, but also, don't be a crank
Agreed re: the Mets guys
5 Run Homer
5:52
I thought McKenzie was a starter??
Luke Hooper
5:52
I believe they don't need a 5th starter for a while, so he's getting some work.
John
5:53
Jim Deshaies is great
Rich Minford
5:54
The Giants booth is the best. Lot's of dry humor and silence.
Ben Clemens
5:54
In my opinion, a lot of baseball booths are great
Meg Rowley
5:54
Yeah, the bad ones stand out
Ben Clemens
5:54
I try to listen to everyone, and things are pretty good overall
Meg Rowley
5:55
There are a lot reasons I'm not a professional baseball player, but an inability to do my job after fouling a baseball off my body is near the top.
