Broadcast got that right. Castellanos had the highest swing% among qualified hitters this year.

What a game we got here.

This better not be a 15 bags of popcorn game
I love you guys, but I'm not chatting until 3 AM

Schwarber is one of those 30 Speed 60 Steal guys in OOTP I'm never sure what to do with when they get on

Unrelated to WS, but this was the most shocking thing I came across this week.  546 pitchers threw 20 innings this year.  Luis Patino was 542nd in K%, 517 in BB%, dead last in K-BB%, 540th in HR/9.  This guy might have thrown his last MLB pitch, and he was a top 10 spect 2 years ago.

Does the shift ban affect outfielders' positions? Just thinking about Philly's outfield and if they'll have to cover more ground or something

If I recall correctly it shouldn't, but four-man outfields are out of the question now

How many times per game does Dusty poke himself in the tongue with his toothpick?

It's calloused. Doesn't matter.

I'm annoyed at myself for forgetting about this chat three hours ago, but I (and probably others) would appreciate a little more promotion in advance

Bill Dineen (35) and Cy Young (34) combined to pitch all but two innings for the Boston Americans when they beat the Pittsburgh Pirates five games to three to win the first modern-era World Series in 1903.

Dusty has been doing this for years. He must have perfected the technique for using tooth picks

You really gotta save Brad Hand for when everyone just wants to go home

The dexterity of Dusty Baker's tongue isn't something I planned on envisioning tonight, but I feel like I somehow deserve it

The Yordan Alvarez home run vs the Mariners is still the biggest moment of the postseason, right?
AvatarAlex Sonty
11:15
Oh, yeah. That it was a binary Robbie Ray spot made it all the more tense.

The late inside cut killed Yordan. He had it barrelled up
AvatarDan Szymborski
11:14
Don't count your barrels before they've coopered.

Is the MLB App the ONLY way to get locked in? Doubt.

Harper’s homer is the biggest moment, David

Would be great if Cecil Cooper had the most barrels in MLB history

Astrosfan here to say that Harper's homer was bigger

Moment size is very subjective

Only says a man without a large moment
AvatarDan Szymborski

Bo Jackson's ASG homer is still a huge moment for me
My gut size says there have been may large moments
and ASG homers don't really matter for anythng
