My current feeling: there are going to be five home runs, and the winning team will be the one that hits three of them
Dystopian Future
6:50
My current feeling is that the Yankees will win.
Jeff Sullivan
6:50
That is my other current feeling

Re: homers Will all five be hit into that short right field corner?
Jeff Sullivan
6:50
They better be some real dongs
Lola

Can y’all start believing in clutch
Jeff Sullivan
6:50
No
Meg Rowley
6:51
This isn't strictly relevant, and comes with the caveat that the the swing in runs might not be as dramatic as the numbers make them out to be, but understanding Chris Iannetta's framing is my white whale.

Hey guys, seems like we may not get there with AZ instructional league games this week: https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/tempe-az/85281/daily-weather-forecas...
Meg Rowley
6:51
lol it is 20 degrees cooler than when I was there in August and it is still 80
Jeff Sullivan
6:52
Iannetta is basically the reason why I don't trust framing numbers the way that I used to

103 the other day, I hope we're just done with that kind of heat for the year.
In comes Scott Alexander, to be followed by Larry Karaszewski.
Jeff Sullivan
6:52
Since this game is kind of boring now you can all feel free to try to influence my AL Cy Young vote. I'll be doing that later tonight
Meg Rowley
6:53
Are you allowed to say which way you're leaning?
Jeff Sullivan
6:53
No
I assume no
Meg Rowley
6:53
Probably a good assumption.

How did Schwarber lead all LF in DEF this year?
Jeff Sullivan
6:53
Arm!
Snell
6:54
Are you not selecting me? Or not?
Jeff Sullivan
6:55
What I can say is I have not settled on anything
5 Run Homer
6:55
How big is the CY ballot? And what percentage of the final top 10 will be Astros?
Jeff Sullivan
6:55
Five names
Walking Stephen Piscotty
6:55
The answer is Justin Verlander, then Blake Snell, then Kluber. That isn't negotiable
Jeff Sullivan
6:55
That is an order!

Is there any reason to believe that clutch might be a real thing for a select few guys but not for 95% of the league? I know it's simpler to conclude that it just doesn't exist, but that also feels so empty.
Meg Rowley

(non-Jeff's Cy Young ballot question):
Jeff Sullivan
6:56
Would be very hard to explain
Adam
6:56
Is there analysis supporting the shadows' effect? It makes total sense. But I've only heard it from commentators like Rick Sutcliffe and Paul O'Neill.
Meg Rowley
6:56
I think a lot of broadcasts bring this up
Eric A Longenhagen
6:56
I'd Verlander. I consider the edge he has in total innings pretty meaningful. It's like two more starts worth of innings than the non-Kluber guys.
Jeff Sullivan
6:56
Really hard to analyze because it happens at specific times at specific stadiums in specific weather conditions
Meg Rowley
6:57
Right. It always strikes me as a thing that matters an amount it would be tricky to parse out.
Jeff Sullivan
6:57
Given how the former players talk about it I have to believe it makes a difference
Marc
6:58
Jeff, how does one become a candidate to vote on the Cy Young?  Is it an exclusive club, did you have to dress all fancy for an interview, or could I just be cold-called sometime in the next 24 hours to replace some guy who forgot to mail his in?
Jeff Sullivan
6:59
Stay by the phone just in case
Happynest

How much value is there in having a lot of diversity in pitching styles on your roster (like thunder/lightning running backs in football)?
Jeff Sullivan
7:00
I think it is a useful and unexplored area. Especially with arm slots
Eric A Longenhagen
7:00
Agreed! I also like the idea of piggybacking guys with contrasting stuff
