Put a shirt on, George

can we get Davy to do a subathon at the start of next year so we don't need to worry about the lock-out
Davy Andrews
2:23
I'm not sure what exactly this might entail, but probably.

At what point do the Pirates throw up their hands and play Cruz, Ozuna, O'Hearn, Davis, Reynolds, and Horwitz at DH and roll with only three defenders?
Davy Andrews
2:24
Interesting...
Benny Agbayani

Never stop rooting for the Expos.

Okay I wasn't sure about the Benintendi 30 homer thing but the Brewers broadcast can't stop zooming in on his arms and holy shit, where did he buy those guns from? Indiana?

On a related note, I was at Blue Jays camp for a few days and Addison Barger definitely hit the weight room this winter.
Davy Andrews
2:26
During the ALCS last year, he was definitely the guy whose batting practice just sounded different from everybody else's.

Favorite stadium name? Least favorite stadium name?
Davy Andrews
2:27
I can't imagine I'm alone here, but the more branded the name, the less I like it. Nationals Park, yes. T-Mobile Park, no.
AvatarJay Jaffe
2:28
Dodger Stadium on the favorite, and any corporate-named stadium on the least favorite.

I'm biased, and Oriole Park at Camden Yards is the only long stadium name I like
Davy Andrews
2:28
Hard to beat.

I’m actually enjoying this booth. Especially with Ottavino chiming in
Stieben Strausburg

wasn't dodger renamed to Uniqlo stadium
Davy Andrews
2:29
So techinically they just named the field. It's Uniqlo Field at Dodger Stadium.

Matt Boyd with two K's in the first. Clearly the frontrunner for Cy over Skenes.
AvatarDavid Laurila

He already had nicest-guy-in-the-league status to take into the season. That reputation is well-earned.

loanDepot is the worst name because of the dumb capitalization. Of the branded ones, "Rate Field" is hilarious
Davy Andrews
2:30
Yeah, Rate Field cracks me up.

What do you guys think of my surprise pick for this season: I picked the A’s to make the playoffs as a wild card.
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:30
Eric I think agrees!

Don Kelly has to be kicking himself for not starting Yohan Ramirez today

Favorite pitch aesthetically?  Now that Kershaw's curveball is out of the league I might have to go with McLean's sweeper.
Davy Andrews
2:32
When the camera angle is right, I love a great Skenes/Ohtani/McLean sweeper. It looks like it's just exploding upward while it hangs a louie.
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:31
Devin Williams changeup/screwball thing
Stieben Strausburg
2:32
also Dan, since no-one got meidrtoh, and I had turang, can I get the OOTP
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:33
Yeah, that seems fair
Colton
2:33
Did Peralta somehow get more crossbodied with his delivery or is this just the new camera angle and it was always like that?
AvatarJay Jaffe
2:34
They're talking about this very thing on the broadcast right now. I think the different camera angle is making it more obvious but I don't have a great visual recall offhand.

Too many Dr's appointments. I am forced to miss part of my favorite thing at Fangraphs, the Opening Day chat. The 1:00 one is over but my 3:10 is coming. I will be back for the remainder but it is amazing to see Webb and Skenes get blasted in their first starts. Baseball will never stop mystifying us.
Davy Andrews
2:35
I always love your contributions. Sorry you won't be here longer!

$40 a month to use tweetdeck now? How much are they snorting?

Jay, have you ever heard The Strokes song - An ode to the Mets?
AvatarJay Jaffe
2:36
I had not, until now! here's the official video to share with everybody
Matt Martell

Davy, I'm gonna go get a Mr. Met whoopie pie
Davy Andrews
2:36
Hell yeah.

Hey we already got PCA swinging at a pitch that hit him, hey hey
