if cano wins all star mvp does it help his hof chance by more than 1%

Paul Swydan

11:26

No no, I'm just kidding.

Jaime

11:27

The defending champ's lone all-star blows it

Paul Swydan

11:27

It's been a bad year for the Cubs.

All star game

11:28

who do you think closes for the AL, paul?

Paul Swydan

11:28

Well I'd just leave Kimbrel in.

But the only RP they have left is Miller, so I'll say him.

11:29

Nice turn from Davis there.

Jaime

11:29

Gotta go with miller, no?

Paul Swydan

11:29

Ya if you bring in someone else.

Zane

11:29

I think the Red Sox would be furious at Kimbrel throwing so many pitches if he had throw another inning. Miller makes more sense anyway.

Paul Swydan

11:30

Whatever to any team getting huffy about their player's usage. I get sick and tired of that stuff. The fans should get what they want on this night.

Does Cano go in as a Yankee or M?

Paul Swydan

11:30

Too soon! If he somehow helps deliver the Mariners their first title, he'd be a lock to go in with the Mariners hat. But who knows if that'll ever happen.

Mike

11:32

Andrew Miller is a pretty high profile player I can't see how he's a downgrade from kimbrel

Paul Swydan

11:32

He is a very good pitcher.

Big Joey

11:32

Would it shock you if Judge hit 60 HRs this year?

Paul Swydan

11:32

Yes.

Chuck Knoblauch

11:32

WHAT?! How is Buck not using Britton here just because he's on the road?

Will

11:34

When's the last time an injury reserve ever won the ASG MVP?

Paul Swydan

11:34

Uh, I dunno.

OK the game graph is fixed. http://www.fangraphs.com/livewins.aspx?date=2017-07-11&team=NL&dh=0&se...

11:35

Thanks for pointing that out!

Mike

11:35

Timely mention of that time Bellinger hit a homer off Miller

Paul Swydan

11:37

Yes, we get Bellinger.

Murdoc

11:37

Three lefties in a row against Miller NICE ONE MADDON

Paul Swydan

11:37

Joe Maddon - best there is.

Big Joey

11:37

Weird hypothetical. If bonds was able to secretly take steroids from now until spring training, how good could he be in 2018?

Paul Swydan

11:37

Probably, yeah.

druidiful

11:38

How dare Votto walk there instead of driving in a run!

Paul Swydan

11:38

What an overpaid loser. Sad!

Matt

11:38

This games over after this AB I reckon

Paul Swydan

11:38

Bold

TKDC

11:38

Is Votto a high value trade asset?

Paul Swydan

11:38

Votto has a full no-trade and has said he will not go anywhere, so, no.

11:39

Man, nice swing rookie!

Matt

11:39

Told ya so

Morris Buttermaker

11:39

Had fun. Ty Paul

Paul Swydan

11:39

Thanks to you all for hanging out!

Chuck Knoblauch

11:39

Paul, it's been a real pleasure. Thanks for the insights and compant
