love him too, huge fan of the high walk low K profile for hitters, and the pulled fly balls don't hurt either

i think we were the first outlet to put steven kwan in our top 100

Oh no, Steele is down
justin steele

Ben Clemens

hell of a play
Ben

I think he mouthed "cramp" - let's hope
Ben Clemens
8:56
that or 'crap'
but I guess in real life, you wouldn't say 'crap'

Alex Speier (Boston Globe) was mentioned earlier. He predicted the Mariners winning the World Series, and his explanation, which is in my most recent Sunday Notes column, is gold.

I won a fantasy league in part due to FanGraphs kwan love

cubs infielders too smart, everyone else succumbs to their sheer intellectual prowess

I love how they were listing them down, Vanderbilt oooh, Stanford wowwwwwww, Oregon State trail off quietly and hope no one notices

At Stanford, they famously teach how to throw to third base when the runner gets caught off base

Kyle, a Paredes story slash disappointed in myself story for you. I had him like irresponsibly high on last year's trade value list
then a team person talked me out of it. I'm still mad at myself
Kyle Kishimoto

It’s the best middle infield in baseball but I’m not sure Duran making an ill advised attempt to advance to 3rd is an indicator of Swanson’s IQ

I assume that Dansby took "Opponents Giving You Free Ones 202" and "Advanced Don't Look A Gift Horse In The Mouth" at Vandy

Just watched highlights of Dodgers/Cardinals. All future children, even the girls, will be named Mookie. That is all.

I happened to be at Gabriel Moreno’s MLB debut (for Toronto in Detroit) so I feel kind of invested in his career and hope he wins all the awards

Shoutout to Julian Merryweather’s 2021 Opening Day save with the Blue Jays, when I thought we for sure had an elite closer on our hands
Kyle Kishimoto

he's legit, love his slider

Has anyone checked on Michael Baumann since the new Orioles owner started talking about the Magna Carta during today's broadcast? That seems like the content he might pass out listening to, from excitement.
Ben Clemens
9:02
Funny you should ask...
I DM'ed him, btw, and he sent that back to me immediately
9:04
Here, some bonus FG writers are in this chat now

it was a limited document that stayed in force for like two years, millenia after forms of actual democracy had been instituted elsewhere throughout the globe

Mookie might score 160+ runs this year

Which would be the most since the 1930s.

Is IKF a good defensive 3b? What do the Jays see in him for a two year FA contract and just locking him in as the starter? Seemed like late on in todays game was a perfect chance for Vogey to PH.
Ben Clemens
9:05
Oh yeah, definitely a good defender. His bat is definitely a little light for an everyday player, and I agree that I'm surprised they didn't pinch hit for him
CET

Hard for me to believe that throw he rushed across the diamond didn't exactly look like it lit up statcast, but I might just be spoiled from JD and Matt Chapman the last ten years
Ben Clemens
9:07
Oh it's a range and hands thing
He has a Gold Glove!
