Girardi is great inthe booth

Ben Clemens

11:18

A-Rod is wildly underqualified to be analyzing a game live

Guest

11:18

The whole YES crew is good, but yeah Cone is the star

Ben Clemens

11:18

But watching him unsuccessfully try to bro it up with a baseball legend was tremendous

Dodger Fan

11:18

Ben, I was joking

Jay Jaffe

11:18

I am a long time Ken Singleton fan

Ben Clemens

11:18

Oh I know, I just wanted it as an entree into my bad take

Dodger Fan

11:19

I just wanted to express my appreciation for this community of baseball fans

Jay Jaffe

11:20

it's great to be chatting about live-ass baseball right now

Dodger Fan

11:20

That LA sunset looks much less cool from my place

Jay Jaffe

11:20

and we appreciate you too

Ben Clemens

11:21

Totally agree with Jay

It feels surreal to have real baseball on

Dan

11:22

How many games would the Orioles win if they moved their whole team as is to the Korean league?

Jay Jaffe

11:22

I put out the Szymborski bat signal for that one

Stu

11:22

Does the "K" indicator for a strike bother anyone else? K is for strikeout, not strike, right?

Ben Clemens

11:22

Yes!

11:23

I complain about it frequently

Just use the solid/hollow indicator that everyone else uses

Guest

11:23

Says someone who drinks hot water

Ben Clemens

11:24

You tell *one* embarrassing story on a podcast you know people will listen to...

Guest

11:25

It’s your connect four

YardGoat

11:25

Dustin May's last inning?

Ben Clemens

11:25

I say yes

Not convinced he'll make it out

Jay Jaffe

11:25

they just pulled him at 60 pitches, so scratch what I said earlier

Ben Clemens

11:25

Ha well

Morgan

11:25

Total number of complete game shutouts this year: over or under 3.

Ben Clemens

11:26

I'll take the under

Eric A Longenhagen

11:26

Caleb Ferguson struggled to throw strikes in his last scrimmage outing

Jay Jaffe

11:26

and all of last year

Jonesy Wales

11:26

First pitching change of the season!

Dodger Fan

11:26

OOTP loves Caleb Ferguson for some reason

Ben Clemens

11:26

OOTP largely equals ZiPS

11:27

So take it up with Dan

Jay Jaffe

11:27

woof 13.2% BB rate for Ferguson last year

Guest

11:27

ZiPS is lower on Ferguson than Steamer is

Eric A Longenhagen

11:27

Dodgers lefty relief situation is sneaky thin

Ben Clemens

11:28

That's really interesting. I have no clue why then
