Jeff Sullivan

6:32

Ian Desmond has been worth -1.5 WAR since he signed with the Rockies

Eric A Longenhagen

6:32

37 seconds between those last two pitches from Baez

Jeff Sullivan

6:32

:mound meeting:

Ichiro for CEO

6:33

This doesn't count for this game, but are there mound visit limits in the postseason?

Meg Rowley

6:33

Same as regular season.

Last year's postseason seems to have inspired the change, or at least them pulling the trigger on it.

Eric A Longenhagen

6:33

I never get sick of seeing Mark Prior in a uniform

Jeff Sullivan

6:33

First-pitch ball in play against Pedro Baez. My favorite kind of ball in play

GO go go go

6:35

How much faster would 15 Brent Suter pitches take than 15 Pedro Baez pitches?

Jeff Sullivan

6:35

On average, just about three minutes

Minus whatever is the difference in flight time since Suter throws so damn soft

weezy

6:35

Charlie Steiner was so, so excited at that first pitch pop-up. I'm betting 78% of that excitement was that it was on the first Pedro Baez pitch

Walking Stephen Piscotty

6:36

Seriously though, how are the Rockies possibly making it to the NLDS now? Freeland on short rest against the waiting for them Cubs with Lester?

Jeff Sullivan

6:36

Jon Lester isn't very good anymore

fire me into the sun

6:37

What is the most depressing name of a first baseman that the Rockies could've easily signed and won the division?

Jeff Sullivan

6:37

Name a first baseman

Meg Rowley

6:37

Ryon Healy

Dystopian Future

6:37

Jon Lester might not be very good, but as a hitting team the Rockies are not very good either.

Jeff Sullivan

6:38

The Rockies will be the underdog, but maybe by like 60-40 or 55-45. Nothing insane

5 Run Homer

6:38

Dodgers organ dude is top notch

Eric A Longenhagen

6:38

My wife likes when he plays music from Zelda

Meg Rowley

6:39

How often do guys' helmets hurt them when sliding

weezy

6:42

what is the closest comp to this Max Muncy breakout that any of you seen in baseball? This seems alarmingly unlikely

Eric A Longenhagen

6:42

Chris Taylor's breakout season? Justin Turner's breakout season? Jesus AGuilar's breakout season? I think we're ripe for stuff like this right now because some teams know a lot about swings.

Jeff Sullivan

6:42

J.D. Martinez also, of course

weezy

6:42

If you were an oddsmaker, who'd you put the most faith in winning the WCG out of the 4 teams? Yankees, right?

Jeff Sullivan

6:43

Yeah, I think the Yankees, but even that one is going to be tough with the A's just straight-up bullpenning

They've got a whole bunch of righties to throw

Billy Beane

6:44

How would you pitch to the Yankees if you were the A's? IT sounds like it's either opener-Fiers or bullpen the whole thing.

Jeff Sullivan

6:44

Maybe you give Fiers one turn but his fly-ball thing makes me nervous

Meg Rowley

6:45

Hello, I have returned. My sister called me and is due with a baby Very Soon and I thought it was The Call but it was just A Call.

Jeff Sullivan

6:45

Petriello getting some broadcast love right now

Meg Rowley

6:45

That alternate broadcast should be fun.

Jeff Sullivan

6:46

Ben and I will be podding with broadcast teammate Jason Benetti when this game is over. Look forward to asking him about it!

Matt

6:46

I feel like what Muncy has done is not that unprecedented? A guy like, say, Jose Bautista is more surprising

Meg Rowley

6:46

I have come to not super enjoy A-Rod in the booth. He is better in studio, I think. And Benetti is wonderful. So getting him instead is neat.

Jeff Sullivan

6:46

Jose Bautista basically did the same thing

Matt

6:47

Should the Rockies at this point be trying to keep the deficit at 5, or trying to preserve their bullpen for the WCG?

Jeff Sullivan

6:47

Preserve

Walking Stephen Piscotty

6:48

Based on who the A's are rostering, it sounds like they're bullpenning the game tomorrow. I think first team to 3 wins the AL wild card game
