I swear he was SO much better when he was doing this occasionally at the end of his career

Tony Wolfe

9:10

astros being a sleeper is an incredible take

Dan Szymborski

9:10

Don't sleep on that team that won 107 games last year

dave k

9:10

Imagine losing the World Series and being a sleeper the next season

Dan Szymborski

9:10

Razzed by crazy A's fans? Matt hasn't seen an A's game since 1989.

9:11

"Which team is an underdog. Don't say the Dodgers"

Tony Wolfe

9:12

"who else is good in the nl. please do not be obvious." "............ the defending NL east champions"

Dan Szymborski

9:12

So the average A-Rod sleeper pick won 102 games last year

Hey A-Rod, who's a real sleeper in the AL Cy Young race?

dave k

9:12

Arent the Dodgers the MOST underdog?

JaAm

9:12

Royals could be buyers talk on national TV, nature is healing

Dan Szymborski

9:13

"Hey A-Rod, how about a deep sleeper for the AL Cy Young?"

"Well, the Yankees picked up this pitcher Gerrit Cole who might be in for a big year. Tyler Wade texted me to let me know that Gary Sanchez has fallen for his bedroom eyes. We'll know for sure the first 20 pitches."

9:14

Sorry, tweetin ga littlet too

Dodger Fan

9:14

Calling the Astros an underdog is like saying Javier Báez has good plate discipline

Dan Szymborski

9:14

You know who might surprise and have a big power year? Pete Alonso. You heard it here first.

9:15

I kinda miss Harold Reynolds at this point.

dave k

9:15

Liar

Dodger Fan

9:15

John Smoltz is almost appealing right now

JaAm

9:16

"Buster is safe...he's standing out in the outfield getting absolutely drenched right now as you can see on camera"

dave k

9:17

Wouldnt Dodger Stadium look the same if fans were allowed there or not? #rimshot

I dont want to alarm anyone but we are close to McGarver territory and I'm scared

Guest

9:17

Dodgers only predicted to win 38 games in 2020 = underdog.

Wire Fan

9:17

Percentage of starts by a starter apparently changes with season length? ARod having a rough night.

dave k

9:17

Player starting 12 games instead of 32 is more important.

9:19

Has any team ever won a World Series after dropping in wins by 65?

Dan Szymborski

9:19

heh

maybe once we have our 30 team playoffs!

Quarantino Martinez

9:19

They're going to do a 29 team playoff, just to laugh at the Orioles...

Dan Szymborski

9:20

Or 30 teams. The O's show up and the commish tells them "Oh, the last spot is for the NPB champs, not you guys."

Wire Fan

9:20

So they are going to play this to completion this year and not just call the game over since they got 5 innings in?

Kvn

9:21

MLB deserves the O's making the playoffs

Guest

9:21

Chris Davis WS MVP

dave k

9:21

Kurkjian is making a strong play against ARod for uselessness in commentating

Tony Wolfe

9:22

Richie Martin walk-off to clinch a series

Dan Szymborski

9:22

Uh, is Tim's audio out of sync or am I having a stroke?

Dodger Fan

9:22

Hunter Harvey getting a game 7 save?

Dan Szymborski

9:22

haha, like he still exists

9:22

The sudden death wild card games were my favorite games to watch each year as long as my team wasn't involved. I'm going to miss that.

Dan Szymborski

9:22

The Orioles accidentally killed Harvey with some groundskeeping equipment and they just put him on the IL every year hoping nobody finds out

homealone

9:23

there's gonna be an earthquake in the fourth or so inning in LA tonight, isn't there
