This Kopech getting warm might be a bluff.

Kevin

3:17

I also miss McHugh.

Kevin Goldstein

3:17

He'll be on an episode of the podcast, and soon.

Ben Clemens

3:17

McHugh made 37 apperances this year and faced 10+ batters only 4 times, so it's not weird to not let him do it

3:18

Just.... I don't know why you wouldn't get a few more outs out of him, he looked sharp and wasn't gassed

Kevin Goldstein

3:19

The Astros have the bases loaded with two outs for Carlos Correa, what will happen?

Cob

3:19

Would you leave Rodon in here?

Ben Clemens

3:20

I would not, but I'm a coward

Kevin Goldstein

3:20

I would, but I'm a little aggressive and times in these matters

Ben Clemens

3:20

I think it's reallllly close either way

Don't hate either decision

Nothing in the way he's pitched so far indicates he doesn't have it

3:21

Dangit, my HBP vote didn't prove true

Kevin Goldstein

3:21

Carlos Correa is going to make a tremendous amount of money.

Also, I voted double, and I'm going to go buy a lottery ticket.

Ben Clemens

3:21

Inside FanGraphs talk: he's number one on my draft top 50 free agent list

If I could write him in pen, I would

Kevin Goldstein

3:21

SPOILER

Cob

3:23

Okay, now do you have Kopech face Tucker or load the bases for McCormick?

Ben Clemens

3:23

Yeesh. load the bases for McCormick for me

Issam

3:24

Yuli first no?

Ben Clemens

3:24

Yep, nevermind

Easy pitch to Yuli then

I just want no part of Tucker with the platoon advantage

BringBackDeSpanielHair

3:24

That was a really impressive swing from Correa.

Jordan

3:24

Did Springer really want to leave the Astros? if so, any insights?

Ben Clemens

3:24

Absolutely!

(to the swing)

3:25

great pitch by Rodon honestly

Sometimes you just get beat

Kevin Goldstein

3:25

I think George was open to staying but did want to get to FA, and that's what happened.

Jimmy Wynn's Toy Cannon

3:26

Kopech's gotta be at like 25 pitches max, right? He just threw 47 two days ago

Ben Clemens

3:26

Yeah, definitely short leash

Kevin Goldstein

3:26

I think he might be just on "get us to a clean inning" duty.

3:27

He's out.

mybloodyballantine

3:28

Has an umpire ever accidentally punched a player with an over enthusiastic out call?

Ben Clemens

3:28

hahaha I mean no but I laughed at this question so I had to throw it in the chat

Kevin Goldstein

3:28

Yuli still gets down the line pretty well for a 37 year old. Easy to forget he was a twitchy shortstop in his 20s.

3:29

Correa knew a high fastball was coming 3 in a row similar location and speed.

Ben Clemens

3:29

But perhaps Rodon knew that Correa knew, so clearly he couldn't throw a high fastball

Connecting…
