Well, he does sort of look like a 15-year-old in general.

Wow, Harper.

Murdoc

Paul Swydan

8:38

That's fantastic.

Stove

Sale triple digits alert

Zane

8:38

So, uh, when are they gonna ban Sale's slider for witchcraft?

Paul Swydan

8:38

I hope not.

Bour Hour

8:38

Just an FYI, If fg were to hire an editor, I would apply and work by the article or hour

Paul Swydan

8:38

We edit every article, but thank you.

8:39

It's not often that Dave makes a factual mistake like that. I think we can grant him a mulligan.

Chuck Knoblauch

8:39

Oh my, that slow mo bat shot of Harper.

Matt

8:39

I apologize Paul I'm spreading disinformation. Dave said that Ozuna had matched his career high in war, not his career

C'mon Matt, get it together!

8:40

I ALREADY WANT TO SEE DUNKIRK I DON'T NEED TO SEE MORE FOOTAGE OF IT.

Are the trainers voted on by the players too? That would be amazing to figure out who the best are and why

Paul Swydan

8:41

I don't think they're voted on by the players, no.

8:42

Arenado shouting out the side-arm throw. Classic.

Stove

8:43

Speaking of Dunkirk, Chris Nolan has to be on my all-star team for film directors.

Paul Swydan

8:43

Eh, maybe. How big is the roster?

Morris Buttermaker

8:44

Did A Rod sound a little bitter about moving to 3rd for Jeter?

Paul Swydan

8:44

That's not how I heard it, no. It's stupid how good A-Rod is at broadcasting after seeming so awkward his entire career.

Zane

8:44

Wut. Why is AROD walking around interviewing players literally on the infield dirt before the inning?

Paul Swydan

8:45

They're trying stuff, Zane. It's an exhibition game. I'm fine with it.

Thanks to Joe Buck for telling us all that Tito is Francona's nickname.

Neshek! this is what the people at home want to see

Paul Swydan

8:45

This is ... interesting.

Matt

8:46

If smoak becomes Joey Bats/ E5 2.0 does Cameron get I told you so rights against the entire Fangraphs staff?

Paul Swydan

8:46

What? Dave has been telling us all that Smoak is the worst for like, ever.

Mattingly's Sideburns

8:47

I get that Neshek has been good but I feel like the all-star game should be lined up with the best pitchers for at least the first few innings.

Paul Swydan

8:47

Well, if it means that the best pitchers are pitching later, I'll let it slide. If it means we're in for 8 innings of the worst pitchers on the roster, then I'll be upset.

Will

8:47

How much would ingratiating himself as a friendly and self-deprecating broadcaster over the next 5 years help A-Rod getting into the HOF?

Paul Swydan

8:47

You're joking, right?

THE FLOW.

8:48

THE SHOES.

It's all happening.

Matt

8:48

God it was Sullivan who wrote that article wasn't it

what the heck is wrong with me

Paul Swydan

8:48

Matt, sit down. Have a beer. Everyone has off-days.

It'll be OK.
