Hi Jeff!

Eric A Longenhagen

6:05

Sullivan, welcome.

Sean Dolinar

6:05

Hey Jeff.

Jeff Sullivan

6:05

Have we talked about Max Muncy for three hours yet?

DodgeGuys

6:06

aaaand the no-no is gone. Welcome Jeff!

Meg Rowley

6:06

We are generally excited about Max Muncy.

Jeff Sullivan

6:06

Let's hear it for the good old-fashioned bounce throw to first

6:07

Just watched Max Muncy convert a defensive chance. It *can* happen

DodgeGuys

6:08

I met Max's brother on the light rail in Seattle. It was so great to hear how proud his family is of him. One of the best stories of the year.

Jeff Sullivan

6:08

Number five in wRC+, tied for sixth or seventh or something in expected wOBA

CamdenWarehouse

6:10

This is so much better than the baseball I was watching a week ago

Hello

6:10

The Cubs were in first place from July 12 until about 2 hours ago. Baseball!

adam

6:11

sorry if this has been answered but how did they decide where to play the tiebreaker games?

Meg Rowley

6:11

head-to-head record I believe

Sadman

6:11

At what point does game theory become no fun

Meg Rowley

6:12

Having taken grad-level game theory the answer is when you take grad-level game theory.

Iggy Pop Has Raw Power

6:12

It stinks watching the Dodgers and Vin Scully isn’t announcing.

Meg Rowley

6:13

We miss him every day, though I think their current booth is really, really good.

Walter Benjamin

6:13

Are the Dodgers at Cards-level of player development acumen already?

Jeff Sullivan

6:13

Unofficially, yes

Officially, I don't know

The Dodgers are way ahead of 90% of the rest of the industry

weezy

6:14

@Iggy Pop I know he's no Vin, but I really like Joe Davis

Meg Rowley

6:14

Pretty amazing how good they are when you consider what we're mentally comparing them to

Jeff Sullivan

6:14

Walker Buehler with an RBI single *and* a walk after falling behind 0-and-2

6:15

And also the pitching

Walter Benjamin

6:15

leaving a lefty in to face Kiké may backfire

Jaire

6:15

Why are so many Cubs fans so eager to get rid of Maddon? Does winning just make people crazy, or is there some validity to wanting someone else?

Jeff Sullivan

6:16

Mostly it's that winning raises expectations, and Maddon doesn't do much to blend into the background. He's conspicuous, which makes him a lightning rod

Mattingly's Sideburns

6:16

Should the Rockies send whichever pitcher they are planning on starting to Chicago right now?

Jeff Sullivan

6:16

Dude can wait 40 minutes to fly with his friends

5 Run Homer

6:17

Alright I just got back from English 102 so I’ve missed most of this game, what did I miss?

Jeff Sullivan

6:17

A 5-run homer

It was extraordinary

Meg Rowley

6:17

You missed this for *102*?

6:18

I'm just kidding, school is good for you, do school I guess

Jeff Sullivan

6:18

You heard it from Meg

Meg Rowley

6:18

TAKES

Jeff Sullivan

6:18

Do school all the way up until grad-level game theory

Meg Rowley

6:18

And not one second after that.
