How do you go to commercial before a replay of the flip.

Paul Swydan

8:49

Oh god, FOX does this all the time.

At least they showed a replay of the play.

They often go to break without showing any replay at all.

Harper planking hair flip. 8/10 would steal yo girl

Paul Swydan

8:50

Just 8/10 ? You're a tough critic, Stove!

Mike

Maddon is just letting pitchers play with their teammates. Scherzer and the inevitably traded Neshek with the Nats starters, then wood and Jensen when he puts all the dodgers in

Paul Swydan

8:50

Good ole Joe Maddon, that's why the players love him!

8:51

Would have been great to see that hit.

There we go.

Can Harper be awarded the official title of "coolest player ever?" Or at least institute an annual "coolest player" award?

Paul Swydan

8:51

Pretty sure that would be the Pedro Martinez Award.

You think if Huston Street was an all star he'd refuse to come in the 2nd inning

Paul Swydan

8:52

Probably. He'd want to close, haha.

Zane

8:53

You know, I initially intended that as a joke, but now I think the Pedro Martinez Award would actually be good for baseball. People like watching flashy players, so introduce an award for flashy, cool players!

Paul Swydan

8:53

I don't disagree.

Mike

8:54

Did correa miss the bag?

Paul Swydan

8:54

Thought he had it.

We need a baseball version of Silicon Valley, where Jeter's other investors fall through and he is forced to partner with A-Rod to buy the Marlins, with the showing following them trying to co-run a baseball team.

Paul Swydan

8:55

I like how Perez stared at the runner coming home before he fired to first.

Mike

8:57

Any Yankee who wins proposed Pedro award is cut.

Care to interrupt the live blogging to comment on the present ability and upside of Luis Castillo?

Paul Swydan

8:58

No because we already had a Luis Castillo and this new Luis Castillo is confusing me!

8:59

Kidding. He seems pretty good, but let's talk when his HR/9 isn't close to 2.

Zane

8:59

OMG The Freeze is there!!! Check MLB's twitter!!!

APPARENTLY THE FREEZE IS COMING OUT

Paul Swydan

(whispers) I think The Freeze is stupid.

I'm participating in a Fangraphs chat. AMA

Paul Swydan

Were you excited to see future Nat Pat Neshek on the mound?

asg fan

9:00

apparently the freeze lost :(

Paul Swydan

9:00

hahahahahahaha

Will

9:00

Neshek and Martinez? really?

Paul Swydan

9:01

What's wrong with Carlos Martinez?

He's the fifth-best NL pitcher. 4th-best who's playing (stupid Dodgers). http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=0&...

wherever Neshek goes I hope it's to close; I've got him in a league
