Construct the best possible starting lineup where all players are from different countries. Here's the best I could come up with:
C- Yasmani Grandal - Cuba
1B- Joey Votto - Canada
2B- Jonathan Schoop - Curacao
3B- Carlos Correa - Puerto Rico (this may be cheating)
SS- Xander Bogaerts - Aruba
CF- Ender Inciarte - Venezuela
OF- Mike Trout - USA
OF- Marcel Ozuna - Dominican

SP- Yu Darvish - Japan

Will give you PR. That's not cheating.

That's a pretty good team.

9:26

WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE NFL. COME ON GUYS.

Great baseball book "Have Glove Will Travel" by Bill "Spaceman" Lee

Pretty sure Harper snuck a "he's pretty f*ing good" in at the end.

Paul Swydan

9:27

Ha.

BRB.

9:30

Taking the orange out of the Astros' and Orioles' hats looks really bad, I'm sorry.

Chuck Knoblauch

Paul's gone, let's evaluate players based on RBI totals!

Jason Vargas - this is who we are all here to see.

Paul Swydan

9:31

8th by WAR.

We'll see some runs this inning I think.

Zane

9:31

Jason Vargas just threw an 85 mph fastball high above the zone

Paul Swydan

9:32

FEATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love

9:32

Mookie Betts

Mike

9:32

Wtf arenado

Jaime

9:32

Arenado looked kinda slow

Stove

9:32

Betts may have just cancelled your in play, (runs) prediction

hscer

9:32

"We'll see some runs this inning I think." Not if Nolan Arenado has anything to say about it

Zane

9:32

And the award for dumbest double play goes to...

Paul Swydan

9:33

I don't think Arenado expected to be challenged. That was awesome.

ChatzMcGee

9:33

Votto and Goldschmidt>>>Zimmerman.

fresh basil

9:33

Brad Mills looks like a shop teacher

Paul Swydan

9:34

Now that's a burn. I'd say drill sergeant. He looks like a young Sgt. Hulka.

LOOK IT UP.

ChatzMcGee

9:34

Nolan Arenado runs funny, also slow.

Mike

9:34

No one told Arenado that betts leads mlb in Arm runs.

Zane

9:34

Like...I know Vargas induces a lot of double plays, but really? That's how it happened? Great play by the cutoff man to let that go through tho

Paul Swydan

9:34

That was cool to see on the replay. Also, how nonchalant Schoop was laying the tag down. Awesome stuff.

Mike

9:35

Predictions. Turner at 3B. Goldy at 1b.

iamyourlager

9:35

Who are some players who stopped played before 2015 that you'd like to see their Statcast pages for?

Paul Swydan

9:36

Manny and Pedro, obviously. Rivera. Rickey. Bonds.

The biggest help would be with older generations.

It would be great to see who really had the athletic ability that would translate to today.

Stove

9:37

Sgt. Hulka ^^^ (not spam link)

Paul Swydan

9:37

See, now put glasses on him and make him ~15 years younger. Boom, Brad Mills.

Murdoc

9:37

Commercial question- Archer Dreamland thoughts? I wanted one or two more episodes

Paul Swydan

9:37

Me too, but it was still fun. They need to tell us if Archer is dead or not next season though. Quit jerking us around.
