Eric A Longenhagen

Or angles

Jeff Sullivan

7:01

I think it's among the reasons why the Orioles had such a good bullpen for a few years there

Eric A Longenhagen

7:01

That was a weird group.

Meg Rowley

7:01

I think maybe the booth should remember they are mic'ed.

Cam

7:02

How long until we can quantify Manager productivity through a WAR-like figure? 8-10 years?

Meg Rowley

7:03

Don't know that we'll ever be able to do a super good job because so much of what they do happens away from our view.

Jeff Sullivan

7:03

(I have to bail on this early to go record a pod. Take good care of Meg and Eric! Go October baseball!)

Meg Rowley

7:03

How do you quantify the weird blend of regional manager/HR professional they do that we don't see?

Bye Jeff!

Eric A Longenhagen

7:04

bye

Meg Rowley

7:04

Podcasts wait for no man, not even Jeff.

Cam

7:04

Fair! Their greatest contribution could very well be behind the closed doors. I guess the criticism the Matheny's of the world gets, will be anecdotal for a long time.

Meg Rowley

7:05

I think some tactical managers are better than others, but we'd be missing such a big part of what they do. And sometimes, bad tactics work out and sometimes good tactics bite you.

7:06

I think the last game was more engaging than this one. Just one gal's opinion.

Walking Stephen Piscotty

7:07

Has anyone here been to Progressive Field? Wondering what the view is like from the nosebleeds before I buy tickets to game 3 of the ALDS!

Adam

7:07

I was in non-nosebleeds at Progressive for first time last ALDS. It seemed like a relatively small park where most all the seats would have decent views.

John

7:09

What's the rotation order of LAD in the NLDS?

Eric A Longenhagen

7:09

Ryu, Kershaw, Buehler, Hill?

Brian CashGod

7:10

They also took out a lot of the bloodiest nosebleeds (i.e. the farthest seats in the RF upper deck), so even the cheapest ticket shouldn't be that far out

Net Noot

7:10

Not an O's fan but I thought Camden had the best crappy nosebleed views of any stadium I've been to. What other parks have great bad seat views?

Billy Beane

7:13

Blake Treinen has been the AL's most valuable player. He has been specifically and intentionally deployed in the highest leverage situations and has excelled in them, such that he leads all AL players in WPA. As such, he should win the AL Cy Young. HE is the current MLB record holder with the lowest ERA for any pitcher over 75 innings. If you are trying to describe only events as they have occurred, he is the clear choice for Cy Young and MVP, which is also an indirect argument for DeGrom to be NL Cy Young and MVP.

Meg Rowley

7:15

Treinen has had a marvelous year and has certainly been very important to that A's team, but I don't think this is a particularly defensible position.

7:16

In a year without a standout starter, I'm not opposed to a conversation about a reliever for Cy, but we aren't there this year.

5 Run Homer

7:16

Who in the fresh hell is DJ Johnson

7:17

Has Meg been here the whole time? Would she consider challenging the all-time chat marathon record?? (I think it's Neyer at, like, 9 hours)

Eric A Longenhagen

7:17

She's chatting during the MNF game, too!

Meg Rowley

7:17

Ah yes, 40-man rosters for tiebreakers games.

Eric A Longenhagen

7:17

(no she's not)

Meg Rowley

7:18

I will be chatting with a buddy about the Thai food we're gonna eat, but you all won't be there for that.

7:19

Mary Hart appears to have gone home.

Mattingly's Sideburns

7:19

New rule: Rockies get to just bat Arenado every AB this inning

Meg Rowley

7:20

How tired would he have to be for this to not be an upgrade on most guys in the lineup?

Dystopian Future

7:21

He could quite literally roll out of bed and probably hit better than Gerardo Parra

Meg Rowley

7:21

Just a very strange Rockies team.

DodgeGuys

7:21

Should I be very concerned about Kenley? I feel like every appearance he has allowed an extra-base hit.

Net Noot

7:21

How crazy would it have been if Yelich homered today and that Arenado solo shot robbed if of a "Triple Crown?"

Meg Rowley

7:22

The uptick in home runs isn't great.

He's not suddenly bad, but he does appear to be less good.

7:23

Also, as a worrier, the heart thing worries me.

Not because I know anything special or secret.
