CHIRPY ALERT

Ben Clemens

6:09

I'd take Soto first actually

I think Tatis is the right pick

Kevin Goldstein

6:09

I think that's a totally defendable position.

Ben Clemens

6:09

But I would be watching this player for hopefully 15 years

Donnie

6:10

This game! Astros White Sox! Can see the confusion though

Ben Clemens

6:10

Oh, this game

Kevin Goldstein

6:10

I think what Ohtani did this year was amazing and unfathomable, but I do question the sustainability.

Let's face it folks, this game has become a slog.

Ben Clemens

6:10

Then I'll take Correa, then Bregman, I think

Kevin Goldstein

6:11

I'll take Correa and then I gotta say, I'd think about Robert....

Ben Clemens

6:11

He's third on my list. I'm very skeptical of his approach, though he's obviously great

Kevin Goldstein

6:11

LaRussa wants to be done.

Ben Clemens

6:11

And then Yordan

Kevin Goldstein

6:12

This is absolutely performative.

Ben Clemens

6:12

What is he arguing even?

Like, I know that substantially he isn' arguing anything

But what words is he saying?

*even if you're picking 15-20 on that draft you'd be very happy

Ben Clemens

6:13

In 2019, we did a staff franchise player draft and I picked 16th. I got Juan Soto

6:14

.... I'm not sure the staff in front of me drafted all that well

Quadrangular

6:14

Does fangraphs track playoff statistics for individual players? Can't seem to find them

Ben Clemens

6:14

On anyone's page, you can click 'postseason' to get their stats

We don't have a great landing page for sortable postseason stats at the moment, though

6:15

Lol at Correa deciding not to tag Abreu and risk getting the horns

Guest

6:15

What does the fan graphs depth charts show once the regular season is over? Is it reprojecting 2021?

Ben Clemens

6:15

So I don't know the EXACT details of this but more or less

6:16

It's a generic playoff depth chart projection for each team

Bunk

6:16

Anyone else really like Wainwright in the booth? Seems pretty entertaining and knowledgeable

Kevin Goldstein

6:16

He's VERY good.

Ben Clemens

6:16

It powers our playoff odds

Yeah good and he hasn't had 100 games to start running out of stuff to say and going a little wild

kyle

6:16

Do the Astros run in the top of the 9th if they get somebody on?

Kevin Goldstein

6:16

Ten minutes ago I would have said no. Now I'm not so sure.

Ben Clemens

6:16

Here's the real question: is LaRussa throwing at the Astros?

If he does he'll get run immediately

But.... I think he would like to get run

Kevin Goldstein

6:16

Also wouldn't shock me.

6:17

I mean, we shouldn't like brawls, but secretly, I like brawls.

Ben Clemens

6:18

Hendriks does not seem like the kind of guy who throws at people

Connecting…
