So did Khris Davis, at least regarding batting average.

Meg Rowley

The rare actually fun, fun fact

Morbo

Buehler should really reconsider his weird tiny goatee thing. Either grow it or don't.

How much fun would Ohtani be in a tiebreaker, wild card, or other winner-take-all-game?

Meg Rowley

5:11

A healthy Ohtani pitching? Very fun. A DHing Ohtani? Also fun.

Increasingly convinced baseball should allow postseason player loans.

Eric A Longenhagen

To be fair, Morbo, ballplayers are not the top source for great facial-hair fashions.

Meg Rowley

5:12

Charlie Blackmon's did make it very easy to spot him in a hotel bar in Denver as several FanGraphs writers drank sangria, however.

I've never heard the term 'jackpot' used to mean a 'tight spot' but here we are.

Dystopian Future

5:13

When we get to the ALDS chats we need to have a serious talk about Mookie Betts' facial hair.

Matt

5:14

My sister-in-law's boyfriend has a similar tiny goatee thing and it his worst quality. By all other accounts, he's a decent dude and well liked by the family. How do I tell him to get rid of it?

Meg Rowley

5:14

In response to a thing on the broadcast, Tim Lincecum ALSO reminds me of a ballet dancer. Him, Buehler, Josh Tomlin.

Carson Cistulli

5:14

I think you don't. My advice is simply to complain about it in live chats at baseball analytics sites.

Andrew

5:15

Matt, tell him he has 15 minutes to get rid before you dry gulch him

Reminder: Grandal is still good at baseball

Shout out to the organist playing the Neverending Story theme song for Trevor. Made me smile

Stephen Loftus

5:16

As a former music major (on the organ at that), I'm loving the Braves and Dodgers in the postseason particularly for their organists

Carson Cistulli

5:16

JT Realmuto is probably the best catcher in baseball, but Grandal makes it closer than you'd think after you account for his framing, etc.

Dystopian Future

5:16

Send him anonymous flowers with the message "Get rid of your goatee, it's disgusting," kick back, and put up some smoke.

Muxosk

5:16

Grandal is quietly like the 25th best position player in baseball.

Oddball Herrera

5:17

The simplest way to dispose of someone's poor facial hair choices is and h a freak drone 'accident'

sean green

5:17

any chat about the attendance of this game yet?

Carson Cistulli

5:17

We can chat about it now!

Hey, Meg, how about that attendance, huh?

Meg Rowley

5:18

I think (hope?) folks understand it is a Monday and not a "planned game"

Also Mary Hart is there, WHO ELSE DO YOU NEED?

Eric A Longenhagen

5:18

It seems, fine?

Meg Rowley

5:18

It's 2:19 PM on the coast. Good number of folks for 2:19 PM on a Monday.

Eric A Longenhagen

5:21

Marquez has shown his first two changeups of the day to Pederson and Muncy. Perhaps that's more part of the mix against lefties this time through the order.

Cam

5:21

While the Dodgers have some good catching prospects who aren't too far away, and Barnes on the roster..they have to strongly look at bringing Grandal back, right? He's just damn good.

Eric A Longenhagen

5:22

I think they have options and that there's a good argument for bringing him back (because he's good and you know it) and for not (you get a comp pick, can reallocate that $ to bolster the pitching staff, you have Smith and Keibert on the way)

Muxosk

5:23

I could spend weeks in the book sections of grocery stores without seeing as many giant hacks as this machado AB

Eric A Longenhagen

5:23

No plot synopsis would be as sexual as his glove at 3B, though.

Phil Rott

5:24

The non-planned game component to Brewers-Cubs also let 10,000-15,000 Brewers fans in to Wrigley. Tickets were CHEAP.

Meg Rowley

5:24

Rivals being geographically close is good for this reason.

Ben

5:27

Has ESPN found a way to mitigate the overbearing Dodgers Stadium PA?

Eric A Longenhagen

5:27

Seems like it but I haven't enjoyed the audio mix

Meg Rowley

5:28

The booth seems very loud.

But also, the booth is yelling.

Connecting…
