Hi everybody!

Chaps

4th option to the 1st question: no, this is going to be the game that ends with a final score of 15-14 where each team has 30+ hits and takes 5+ hours to play

Paul Swydan

9:02

It might be! But tomorrow. Stupid rian.

I think best world series would be Cleveland vs LA. First Cleveland loses the world series, then Lebron leaves for the Lakers. One two knockout.

Paul Swydan

9:03

Wow. Table! Wow. That's cold.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:03

I like it

Paul Swydan

9:03

You all are pretty clear on the opinion that LA would be the most entertaining NL team, and that the AL is more up for grabs. I happen to agree.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:04

Sorry for leaving everyone alone with Paul. I was slightly delayed

Paul Swydan

9:05

FWIW, I'll side with Cleveland, because I'd like to see Terry Francona get another ring. But Houston or NY would also be fine.

I have so much pain in terms of trying to make a decision on long-term keeper league. Each team keeps 25 guys and we have a 25 round draft each year. Knowing that format (plus 5x5) would you deal Kershaw for Buster Posey, Dee Gordon, Kevin Gausman and #6 next year?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:06

No, not enough youth and/or talent coming back.

Paul Swydan

9:06

I guess it depends on who you think you could get with the #6 pick. Unless you mean a 6th round pick, which, in that case, no.

C'mon Wrigley: just build a dome already!

Paul Swydan

9:06

Stupid Wrigley.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:07

Nah, rain happens

It gave us some great Dusty quotes this evening

Paul Swydan

9:08

It did indeed!

Oddball Herrera

Dodgers vs. Astros would be outright fun. A series with Correa, Darvish, Kershaw, Verlander, Bellinger, Altuve, Springer, Puig and General Kael from Willow..er..I mean Justin Turner? Count me in. Obviously a question of taste, but Chicago vs NYY I may not actually go out of my way to watch.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:09

I'd watch any of them. A rematch would awesome, especially a 7-game series.

Paul Swydan

9:09

Yeah, I understand the sentiment. The team I least want to see in the Series is the Cubs, I know that much. The less Joe Maddon I have to watch, the better.

Guest

9:09

Stras has to start tomorrow...right?

Paul Swydan

9:09

I mean, if he's sick, he's sick, right?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:10

He could have eaten the crabs at the Bellagio.

Dangit, where's the Netflix talk? I need someone with whom I can talk about Big Mouth and its sincere, disgusting look at how boys and girls grow up. There's not even baseball today!

Paul Swydan

9:11

I saw the ad for that show, and was not impressed, to put it mildly.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:11

It does seem like an extended SNL skit

During the remainder of the postseason, how many times will the pitcher who started the game pitch into the 7th inning?

Paul Swydan

9:12

I'll say 12% of the time.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:12

Not many. Two or three

CecilFielder

9:13

As a Cubs fan can I be annoyed that TBS didn't (allegedly) allow this game to start at 1PM?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:13

Yes, but money talks.

Paul Swydan

9:13

I mean, I guess you can, but if they played at 1 pm, there'd be about a million more people bitching about how they changed the start time and how it was too early to play a game.

Nick

9:14

Game got postponed. Well, this is awkward.

Paul Swydan

9:14

Is it though? No we're FREEEEEEEEEEE, we can talk about whatever we want!

Jeff Zimmerman

9:15

Yep, stuck here every Tuesday night, games or not

In a H2H 12 team league that uses Assists and OBP. not BA, which 3 to keep (indefinitely) at no cost: Stanton, Corey Seager, Kluber, Rhys Hoskins?
