Is the strike zone in the Ms/Jays game as huge as it looks on Gameday?
Meg Rowley
4:42
It is fairly large
Chad Young
4:43
Meg is being kind and trying not to let her fandom impact her reaction to the strike zone. It seems VERY large
Meg Rowley
4:44
big ol' zone
Yo-Yo

Could be braids, and your batting stance is a leaning back and forth motion to get them swinging into the zone. Just gotta tie them into a necklace when you reach base

This feels like an Effectively Wild email

It's a sin having Brandon Marsh batting in such a high leverage spot.  Phillies got what they deserved
Chad Young
4:46
Not sure they had a better option there.

Scarf lady is behind the plate in Toronto, I am so pleased.
I imagine she isn't pleased with the score but

David Robertson, after looking cooked, has now been in back-to-back postseasons.  Good on hime.
Chad Young
4:47
Definitely did not see Robertson putting up the season he has

Just FYI, when STL/PHI wraps, we're going to wrap up the chat.

Has SMILE lady made any appearances so far today?
Meg Rowley

Not that I've noticed - not a fan of that ad campaign
Love Halloween, but that looks too scary for me!

its over? I just got here!
Chad Young

Ah yes, Tapia's career numbers vs. Castillo, very useful data
Meg Rowley
4:51
Don't fret - we'll chat again!

Meg - Famous last words - incoming 16 inning STL/PHI game
Chad Young

Meg will be in trouble if this happens cause I have to leave soon regardless.
Meg Rowley

We're looking at the first day of Division, Championship, and World Series play for sure, plus some clinching games

Non-M's fan here, fully jumping on the M's bandwagon & living vicariously through the elation of their long, long suffering & passionate fanbase! Great start to the PS.

My poor kids. Growing up in Seattle and if they decide to lean on Dad's fandom they get Cleveland?

Why do the Cardinals fans boo Bryce Harper? Did he do something to them?
Chad Young
4:56
Cards fans can weigh in, but I think this is the general "boo the best player on the other team" thing
RTJ
4:57
Have y'all done statistical analyses about this "pitching in the shadows" and how it affects batting performance?
Meg Rowley
4:57
I feel like BP did something on this a few years back, but I'm struggling to find it now
4:58
Little something brewing for the Phils in St. Louis...
Wireless Joe Jackson

Which of the unhittable relief aces (Helsley, Diaz, Clase, etc) will be the first to give up a run?
Meg Rowley
4:59
grin
Chad Young
4:59
Probably Harper, but Pujols is a reasonable suggestion and that in and of itself is crazy to me.
Colton
4:59
I think the booing Harper thing comes from his free agency when there was a frenzy that he might be signing with STL and didn't along with the boo the best player thing
Meg Rowley

Fandom is such a weird thing
