Why the heck is this a travel day for Dodgers? Weird scheduling.
Ben Clemens
6:28
It's a side effect of redoing the schedule on the fly
Definitely very strange though
It's a really light opening day
Zwak

How would you grade Air Bud's tools during his prime?
Luke Hooper
6:29
Yea it's a bummer. Having everybody play on opening day is a blast
80 grade bite strength
Morbo

Airbud hit tool 20. Analysis: he has no thumbs and can't hold a bat
Ben Clemens
6:30
80 run, 70 field, 40 power, somehow 60 hit, 80 fetch, 80 good boy
true five tool player
Meg, have you watched Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch?
he makes a surprising amount of contact
Morbo
6:30
How!?!
Ben Clemens
6:31
He has the bat in his mouth like a stick
Random

Is there anyone left on planet earth who hasn't seen Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch?
Fangraph's Lurker
6:31
me
Luke Hooper

Is it a dog movie or a baseball movie
Ben Clemens
6:32
Yes
JJ

Air Bud's dewclaw could get him some mad RPM though
Guest
6:33
It is a Christmas movie.
Morbo
6:33
I feel like a tail bat would have been more fun
Ben Clemens
6:34
Realistically, if you could teach a dog to pinch run, they would be uncatchable
But... you can't
that's the one part of the movie I buy, that he'd be a demon on the basepaths
Morbo
6:34
Imagine the bat flips from his tail when you tell him he's a good boy
Ben Clemens
6:34
And as I mentioned, he has an 80 good boy tool, so that would be often

Never seen a single airbud movie
Ben Clemens
6:34
I mean.... you can get the idea
the dog is good at sports
Luke Hooper
6:35
I feel like you could train them to run the bases
They can run obstacle courses, and be bat boys. Why not steal second.
Ben Clemens
6:36
The first baseman could just give them a head scratch
and then subtly tag them out
It would never work
Luke Hooper
6:36
lol

6:37
we have the Ohtani rule, why not an Airbud rule? No head scratches for dogs
Didace
6:37
My dogs do competition retrieving. I have no doubt they would be the best base runners in history.
Luke Hooper
6:37
meanwhile, the royals are back to bunting
Ben Clemens
6:37
OKay, there's baseball on
Yeah
