Hornsby and Ted Williams would have challenged violently i think
Ben Clemens
7:56
"Well, Mr. Williams didn't think it was a strike"
Phil

So, who's the first Sox lefty to come in--Masa or Abreu? Or is Masa going to be held for Refsnyder?
Ben Clemens
7:57
probably they'll hold Masa for Refsnyder, I think that given the close score, the leverage isn't that different so you might as well keep the positions clean

Are these “ominous two-strike noises” over the PA something that we really need?
Ben Clemens
7:57
I think it would just be more important to pick good ones
7:58
Darth Vader breathing isn't bad for the Yankees, imo
oh hey, guy who asks the dinner question, can you ask a question real quick?
Phil
7:58
Is this Darth Vader sound effect for Luke Weaver? Is the suggestion that Luke is secretly on the dark side?
Ben Clemens
7:58
I think it's for all Yankees
Jaws music is another popular one

To the Darth Vader point, I've heard from friends that Yankee Stadium has the loudest PA system/sound effects
Ben Clemens

I'll skip my detailed description of why I prefer Citi to Yankee Stadium this time, since I've bored people with it enough already
but yeah, I prefer Citi

Ben, how do I convince my cousin, who lives in Seattle, is Canadian, and has a red-sox diehard for a dad to not cheer for the dodgers
Ben Clemens
8:00
oooh.... I mean, there's nothing wrong with rooting for the Dodgers
there are plenty of teams I'd root for the Dodgers against (I mean, I don't "root" that much, but obviously I'm not 100% impartial)
but the Reds? not them

there is certainly a stadium PA decibel cold war going on right now

Hello, I have returned. Citi is vastly superior to Yankee Stadium.
8:02
What did you guys do with Max Fried?
Guest
8:02
is nick sugared really that guy
Ben Clemens
8:02
ooh, nick sugared is a new one
new late entrant!
Davy Andrews
8:02
That is good. I bet he's super smooth.

Ben Clemens

April 2019 was the first time I wrote for FanGraphs and I was like uh what
Guest

classic yankees bullpen lol
RTJ

I wonder if it would have been bad to leave Fried in another two batters
Phil
8:04
Masa!!!!!!!!
Guest
8:04
Masa!
Davy Andrews

Great for Masa. He got a raw deal this year. And poor Max Fried.
Guest
8:04
ashamed to get out exclamationed by Phil
Phil

I am pretty sure Eric and Nick Sogard are two different people. Not totally sure, but pretty sure.
Ben Clemens
8:05
Phil is just an elite exclaimer
Davy Andrews
8:05
No one knows.
