I do think that

Kevin Goldstein

6:26

It was a pleasure to meet him and spend oh such little time with him before the world went to hell in a handbasket.

Ben Clemens

6:26

I regret thinking I disliked Dusty and liked TLR when I was a young impressionable Cards fan

MFG1975

Gimme a hyped up Brett Gardner

Kevin Goldstein

6:27

Yes, would terrify me.

Yan Gomez does MMA.

Ben Clemens

6:27

Goodness GRACIOUS

Kevin Goldstein

6:27

Good lord.

Ben Clemens

6:27

Altuve hit that to Naperville

(I don't know many Chicago suburbs)

Kevin Goldstein

6:27

That tracks fine.

6:28

110/27 on that HR.

6:29

Eric Lauer not pitching especially well, but getting out of jams at least.

6:30

It's been kind of amazing, but I like low scoring games.

sadtrombone

6:31

The Brewers and Braves are going to see who can lose by scoring negative runs. Team that merely doesn't score anything wins.

Kevin Goldstein

6:32

What game would you most want to watch based only on the score??

Ben Clemens

6:32

Is that final score?

Or I'm turning it on in a random inning?

Kevin Goldstein

6:32

Final score

Ben Clemens

6:33

I guess I'm not sure if I know the score upfront

Last night's Giants game was fun but it really did feel like offense was a little bit too hard to get to

Phil

6:34

I wonder what response you'd get if you polled a random group in a sports bar or the bleachers. Presumably FG folks have a bit more appreciation for pitching--although the poll is not leaning as heavily that way as I thought it would as I type this.

Kevin Goldstein

6:34

Yeah, I'm also surprised by the results.

6:34

i usually don't watch games I already know the score of

Ben Clemens

6:34

But not who wins, let's say

Kevin Goldstein

6:35

I guess I should have said, which game did you enjoy the most after watching . . .

Ben Clemens

6:35

Yeah

I think that would have lowered my answer from 11-10 to 4-3

But maybe not

I like a good run-scoring double

Kevin Goldstein

6:35

Charlie Morton bad pickoff throw and the Brewers have a runner on second with one out.

Ben Clemens

6:36

I suppose it depends on the pitcher, too

If I'm watching deGrom vs. Scherzer or something, I want 1-0

If it's Eric Lauer against Patrick Sandoval, that will probably not be a fun 1-0 game

6:37

sorry Eric!

Lily

6:37

I think it depends on what the last game I saw was. I love a good pitcher's duel, but after a couple of those I'm up for a slugfest.

Phil

6:37

It is so rare to see a pitcher get through 7 these days that it's become one of the most exciting things to me just because it feels special.

Slugfest

6:37

It's fun when there's lots of scoring and the lead goes back and forth a few times. I enjoy a good pitcher's duel too, but sometimes it's just fun to watch offense.

sadtrombone

6:38

It's not the final score, though, it's the lead changes / number of times someone gets in scoring position and doesn't make it. Game 4 from Rays-Dodgers and all that was way more exciting than an average 4-3 or 11-10 game.

Ben Clemens

6:38

Good points, all
