if anyone here is a Scrubs fan, "Turk Turkleton" is my favorite absolutely ridiculous name (it's what Bob Kelso thought Turk's name was)
RTJ
8:39
I would call him Samsam
Too Many Mooks

"And Mrs. Turkleton! The Turkletonssss!"

“Scrubs fan” - wow clearly Cards fan bias

Josh Jung is good, which reminds of how last year I predicted that Triston Casas would win AL RoY and someone I know in the Rangers org proceeded to DM me to say the correct answer was Jung. That said, which of the two would you rather have going forward?
Ben Clemens
8:44
I think I'd take Jung because I would prefer a third baseman given what I'd consider similar offensive outlooks
close, though, I agree
Kyle Kishimoto
8:43
ooh that reminds me i need to check the staff predictions

justin steele was the last homegrown cubs pitcher to make the all star game
Matt Martell
8:45
Yes, I misspoke. Jeff was the last one before Steele, and Sammy Samz is Steele’s agent
justin steele
8:43
i'm a beast
Baseball!

Jung… I’m guessing he has another level now that he’s finally passed the injuries that messed up his entry to the league
8:45
Then again, Casas has high pants like Freddie, which might be a sign…

8:46
I know Hendricks isn’t home grown technically but kind of crazy he hasn’t made an all star game
Ben Clemens
8:46
yeah he has to be high up on the list of best pitchers never to make an ASG. Might be an article idea
Baseball!
8:47
Meanwhile Bryce elder has an ASG selection
Ben Clemens
8:48
Hey, every team has to have a representative wink
Baseball!
8:49
As a Braves fan… I was satisfied with the full infield making it
Jon Huntley
8:49
I love that Brock Holt was an all star
Ben Clemens
8:50
Jung can pick it, dang
that was nice
Matt Martell
8:50
Alrighty, that’s all from me tonight. Enjoy the rest of tonight’s action!
Kyle Kishimoto
8:50
bye matt!
Kyle Kishimoto

among pitchers with at least 200 starts and no all-star appearances, hendricks is second to john tudor in career ERA+!

Scott Cooper made consecutive All-Star teams with the Red Sox in the 1990s. He had a wRC+ under 100 both years.
Ben Clemens

cya later Matt, have a great night
Baseball!

Re: FanGraphs projections… who chose Gabriel Moreno for NL MVP.  I’m not mad, but I want the story
Ben Clemens
8:51
I think you can check each person's individual picks
I haven't done that, but.... Meg
Kyle Kishimoto
8:51
eric picked moreno, he had a couple other interesting picks too
Ben Clemens
8:51
nope, Eric
yeah, spicy
AvatarDavid Laurila
8:52
Eric and I both picked the D-Backs to win the NL West. I did so before the Montgomery deal was reported. Not sure about Eric.
Ben Clemens
8:53
I thought I was going to be the analyst most in on Moreno when he was developing on the Jays. Then I asked Eric to make sure he wasn't going to be an others worth mentioning or whatever on that year's top 100.... and Eric was like, no, he's just on the list
8:54
he's a long-term FanGraphs player crush, and specifically an Eric player crush
justin steele
8:55
Moreno is a beast, no doubt. Who are some other FG crushes?
Ben Clemens
8:56
the classic ones are Carson being way early on Kluber, JRam, and Mookie
Ben Clemens
8:55
I'm a lifelong Paredes fan
