When you read the name Aaron do you read it as A. A. Ron?

Dan Szymborski

8:36

I like how Aaron Blake of the WaPo is A.A. Ron Balakay

Kvn

8:36

Honestly I don't listen to the commentary a lot anymore for most crews. Park noise feed all the way.

Dan Szymborski

8:36

I had Aaron Blair as A.A. Ron Blair in ZiPS DMB disk for a few years but it pissed people off

Media People

8:36

"You're siding with BILLiOnaIReS"

Dan Szymborski

8:37

"Unless you're a personal friend, that's Williamaires to you."

JaAm

8:37

Not surprised Kershaw has a stiff back driving around like that

Dodger Fan

8:37

Ok that was harsh, sorry A-Roid

JaAm

8:37

I don't doubt San Diego or Arizona's ability to have a good season but having 2 teams guaranteed out of the NL West feels wrong

Quarantino Martinez

8:37

Sanchez getting too close to the Nats dugout on that foul ball!

Here’s to losing record teams in the playoffs

i think it's weird that A-Rod is getting in on the "2020 is the WORST" stuff when he's set for life with a loving partner and a job he loves, but that's none of my business

Dan Szymborski

8:37

Him essentially talking up the salary cap after making big money from there *not* being a saslary cap was sad

Kvn

8:38

Lol the green screen for the budlight ad wasnt keyed right for a sec and cole's head was transparent.

Dan Szymborski

8:39

Like Charlie's green shirt in Lethal Weapon 5

alex rodriguez

hey anonymous, i might lose on my bid to own an mlb team. these are tough times for everyone

Quarantino Martinez

8:40

Fake fans thought that foul ball had a chance

Wire Fan

8:40

Have they said what home road is for that first best of three playoff series? All 3 games at higher seed? Or 1-2 format?

Dan Szymborski

8:40

Don't think they've outlined it all yet

Brian

8:40

Hello friends, you have no idea how happy I am to be back in a live baseball chat!!!!!

Guest

8:40

What is chat volume like?

Dan Szymborski

8:40

It's text so it's kinda soft

Dodger Fan

8:40

At this rate I'll be out of laptop battery by the third inning of Cueto v. Kers----May

8:41

Hi Brian! Welcome

MC Batcat

8:41

I think the Dodgers have a court order that keeps Angel Hernandez from entering the stadium

Kvn

8:41

Is Andrew Stevenson a contest winner or something?

Brian

8:42

That is a cool graphic of paused release points on Cole... more of that please.

marz

8:42

Jayson Stark saying that all three games of the best-of-three series will be played at the home park of the higher seed. No travel days.

Brian

8:42

Thanks, even though you are a dodgers fan!

Charlie

8:42

Game is giving off a realBetween the no crowd, two

Dodger Fan

8:43

*mutters* must be a Giants fan *sighs*

pittsburgh resident

8:43

yes let's dunk on the pirates about cole. i haven't heard this one before

Brian

8:43

I think the yankees should fill their stands with cutouts of the monopoly man... suggestions for other teams?

brad

8:44

Seems the radio announcers will be getting the same onscreen graphics we do from tv broadcasts. They also mentioned having two monitors, one on the bullpens

Wire Fan

8:44

Should the umpires be wearing gloves? At least the HP ump?

Dodger Fan

8:44

*Trevor Bauer enters room*

Dan Szymborski

8:44

I love Bauer's ability to get everyone annoyed. I wish more players were like that.

Thanks, Mo Bamba

8:44

I told you not to call me here

Brian

8:44

Is the Cleveland Eerie the best possible name for the baseball team near the lake or just an excellent one?

Fangraph’s Lurker

8:44

Personally I’d love for the marlins stadium to be full of nothing but marlin’s man cut outs
