When I was in ANZ, all the hotels had two sports networks, and 80% of what they aired was rugby (ick), and most of the rest was cricket. I became a big cricket fan as a result of watching it there.

Casali is arb eligible and I bet he stays. Team raves about him.
Actually...
9:59
Enjoying pitchers hitting is about outlier anecdata. Your brain has deleted the 99% of pathetic strikeouts and 6-3s.

Zambrano hit 24 HRs. Fun!
Kevin Goldstein

I'm with actually, even though he used a word I don't know the meaning of.

MadBum was fun to watch hit
Taylor Dayne
10:01
Which one of you is the Taylor Dayne fan?  Her overall sing tool was like 65-70 IMO
Kevin Goldstein
10:01
Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you. But I just have to say . . . I love your voice. (Whoever gets that is a good person)

How many future hall of famers do you think are in this game?
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:02
Well, Dodgers have what, 3 guys in the lineup who could make cases? Maybe a fourth if you think Bellinger can turn things around in a major way
Posey I think gets in
Kevin Goldstein
10:03
Jay isn't here, and well, I need to stay on brand in terms of awards and the HOF
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:03
Is everyone else getting loanDepot commercials that are like 10% the volume of the other commercials?
Josh Maxson
10:03
Kershaw, Pujols and Scherzer being the three Dan?
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:03
They're not IN the game
10:04
and Kershaw, of course, isn't even in the series!

Betts not a lock?
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:05
Not  a lock yet by any means!
Ttam Nomad
10:05
Betts could end up in the HOF maybe?
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:05
He COULD but it's not there yet
Hang on, I guess you guys want I should run a projection?

Verdict so far on the Dodgers' pitching strategy?
Kevin Goldstein
10:05
Score says it worked.
YES DAN
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:07
Hmm, well ZiPS has him finishing with 77.3 WAR
but that's not where he is *now*. A lot of bad things can happen in a decade.
10:08
Has him exactly 50% through his career strikeouts. 178 more projected
so 356
about 2300 hits
Jack
10:08
Can we say the opener worked? Dont we have to see how Urias does?
Kevin Goldstein
10:08
Why? Who's to say how it would have gone in a normal start?
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:08
But I dont' think i'd call it a *lock*

Based on what Trea Turner has done so far in the series, and his career numbers, it's pretty certain that he'll go hard this inning. He's due.
Kevin Goldstein
10:08
Due is not a thing. (Turner went 1-3)

Free screenings tomorrow of RAD - the insanely great BMX movie celebrating its 35th anniversary. Lori Loughlin('s obvious stunt double) does a bike dance that is pivotal to the plot but like most 80s movies, it's mostly about Helltrack and defeating the Blonde A__hole.
Hugh Duffy
10:08
More players have had Hall of Fame trajectories than careers that got them in, sadly.
JT the nervous Giants Fan
10:09
Opener did affect the lineup construction, but with the Giants turning over the lineup by the 3rd, doesn't seem like it was super effective. Thoughts?
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:09
They weren't baited into going all-in with lefties, like Twitter thought they would for some bizarre reason
Kevin Goldstein
10:09
I didn't hurt them.
