I make no value judgment about that, of course. Just letting you know how it works
10:24
The 'everyone has to be perfect' argument is not a strong one, imo
I just don't think there's any evidence that that's how pitchers work

Nobody comes out smelling like roses. All the members of that team who didn't participate were complicit. Even the members who said they should stop didn't do enough to stop it. It's only when this stuff is made public is there any chance of doing something about it, like with sticky stuff.

I'm not saying it wasn't helpful
Ben Clemens

Oh, just to be clear: I wouldn't have pulled Anderson. I actually wrote about this exact circumstance!

Only that I'm not buying Fiers as the white hat either

Jose Altuve is going to hit a home run and it will lead to Discourse #callingmyshot
Ben Clemens

I would have gone batter-by-batter with him given the staggered lineup

The Stranger’s comment kind of reminds of a Crash Davis, catchers being kind of happy when they get shaken off and the pitcher gets rocked situation
Mateo

Bruh. You had to wait until after he struck out to post my prediction from four minutes ago? lol
Luke Hooper

Sorry, meant to do it before but thought it was still funny after.
Ben Clemens
10:26
Oh man I assumed Dan did it given the trollish timing!
Luke, I underestimated you
Mateo
10:27
I forgive you. My "lol" was genuine, shockingly.

This upcoming at bat is the kind that separates the Minter from the Mintest

How often does Houston play with the roof open?
Ben Clemens
10:28
VERY rarely
less than a third of the time

In the postseason, it's been open 5 times in 50 games.
10:29
Their win in Game 2 was the first win with the roof open.

I truly hate the way fans act when opposing players get hit. I don't think this is particular to Atlanta at all
It just sucks

Bregman. Such a cocky number. 2. Pffft. Gimme a 33 or 45 all day

Whereas this kind of take I love

Also single digits are awesome

That's even worse!
Ben Clemens

Uhhhhh
Like I know he missed his target but what
lol Smoltz
'you can't tell me that the setup doesn't affect the call'
dude, NO ONE says that
10:32
I don't think Smoltz completely understands what we mean by framing

"Hey Minter, why isn't YOUR number your draft position? Oh, right, you can't put 1174 on a jersey LULZ!" -Troll Bregman

I can't figure out this "don't pull him in the middle of a no hitter" frame of mind, I bet Johan Santana wishes he was pulled
