Yordan and not sure it's close

Is Stanley in 1986 the most famous baseball wild pitch/passed ball?
Jake Cave

What about Jeter as most underrated all time?
AvatarAlex Sonty
8:41
Jeter is properly rated in most baseball circles. There are some in which he's underrated but that's just a loud fringe.
Quarantino Martinez
8:42
It's impressive that Yordan is so good at drawing walks given how big his strikezone is
Roach
8:42
If looking at current rosters as is...maybe Albies and only because of how generous that contract is.

Seven balls have been put in play tonight. Soler's home run is fourth hardest at 105.0 mph.

If Charlie Morton's mad about something, do we describe it as Morton's salt?

People still bowl?
AvatarAlex Sonty
8:43
Very few between 25 and 50 bowl, but, yes, the lanes are packed Thursday through Saturday.
AvatarDan Szymborski
8:44
I don't think I bowled since I was 25. I'll probably start going in 7 more years
This commercial is basically stealing the Lees of Virginia song from 1776

Yordan even with the worries about the knees?
AvatarAlex Sonty
8:46
I kinda' don't care? I'll take some injuries from a guy in his mid-20s to lesser talents with age bombs. Who you got from these rosters?

Andrew Miller said in the most-recent episode of FanGraphs Audio that his about-to-turn eight year old is obsessed with baseball… and has to go to bed without seeing a great majority fo these games.
Roach

I bet you didn't know this, but Mookie Betts bowls. Definitely something that isn't brought up every time he comes up to bat.
Jake Cave
8:47
Does Ray Chapman passing away from getting hit in the head qualify as a wild pitch? If not, I think it's Stanley's
Cory

You gotta give us a gory movie recommendation now, right?

I don't think a HBP counts!
This has been a hitful game
Brooks

I guess the injury risk makes it not a "not sure it's close" situation. Chance that Kyle Tucker has more WAR next five years, maybe 30%?
AvatarAlex Sonty
8:48
Tucker would be my second choice on the Astros. So many barrels.
ChuckNChino
8:48
Give me Kyle Tucker for next 5 years
AvatarDan Szymborski
8:48
Jack Chesbro had a very famous one.
GoBarves
8:48
Tucker, Correa, Riley, Albies, all in the conversation. Certainly don't think it's that much of a slam dunk for Yordan

Gory: Squid games?

Haven't started it yet. Will probably after the World Series is done.
Jake Cave

What are your guys predictions for the Series?
AvatarAlex Sonty

Low ratings

Is Joc Pederson walkup music, from ZZ Top? Pearl Necklace?
AvatarDavid Laurila
8:49
More productive player over next two seasons, Albies or Altuve?
AvatarDan Szymborski
8:49
Yes on Pederson
8:50
Chris Getz, of course, had the best walkup music.

Ozzie's contract needs to factor in too
Mrs. Phanatic
8:50
Albies.  Let’s not forget his horrible start (I tried desperately to trade for him in fantasy) and he still hit 30 HR
GoBarves
8:50
Albies and definitely not biased at all :)
