fun fact: realmuto caught exactly 1 game in high school, it also happened to be the one game where marlins scouts came out to see him. no idea how he catches so much and makes his body hold up though

Although, I guess it's less about the syllables and more about the length.
Matt

Tomorrow the Astros are throwing Chris

Javier has three syllables as pronounced by Smoltz.
Ben Clemens

I think Bohm might have let his hat fall off on purpose while chasing that foul ball to let his hair flow free
10:51
I strongly support that
Jeremy

Dominguez in the 9th? Why?
Ben Clemens
10:51
Wait really?

Does no one remember the 2006 Cardinals when talking about least likely champions? 83 wins. They had 3 good players on the whole team.
Ben Clemens
10:51
Also last year's Braves only won 88 games

If harper stayed a catcher what would he be? Injured? The same? A bigger superstar? Why did he make the transition and was that good thing
Kyle Kishimoto
10:52
less able to focus on hitting, that's for sure - plenty of guys get moved off catcher if they're that gifted at hitting even if they're good catcher defenders just so they can play more games and stay healthy. wil myers did it too, there are others i'm forgetting about
if i had someone hitting like 2015 harper i would definitely want him in my lineup for 155 games rather than 120
Floyd

Schwarber was a catcher in college
Davy Andrews
10:53
For him it was more about not being able to stick at the position.
Floyd

Wait am I just too midwestern to understand this… how do you pronounce Javier with two syllables?
Ben Clemens
10:53
hahv-yair more or less
Kwah

Every participant in this chat cancelled because of a semantic discrepancy between a dipthong and 3-syllable ethnic word.

3 catchers on the field lol
Kyle Kishimoto

i don't get why you don't just let gibson ride it out
Ben Clemens
10:55
Yeah, I agree
the reason to use Gibson and Nelson is the reason you eat the last pizza slice
'well, it's there, what am I supposed to do, not eat it?'
Kyle Kishimoto
10:56
if this was a strat o matic game i would definitely have a position player on the mound by now, assuming i didn't already use all the position players on my roster
Ben Clemens
10:57
I'm heading out at 8:15 PT guys, have some dog training to do and I think this game is pretty well in hand

Davy Andrews

That's amazing.
Ben Clemens

as a person in Kyle’s Strat-O-Magic league, I can confirm: the East Bay ShoTime would do this
BS Clemens

It's only 10:58 here in CT. I will never forget Game 3 of the 2018 WS ending at 3:36 EST.
Ben Clemens

I worked in Greenwich for a while, left NYC at about 6 a.m. to get there every morning. That next day SUCKED
Rock
11:02
Which NY/LA WS would you have preferred to see (assuming LAA were healthy and good, of course)?
Ben Clemens
11:02
Ooh! Uh, Angels/Mets probably
but I'd watch the hell out of any of them
