Huh. I guess he is. But he grew up in Worcester. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/darliro01.shtml

Eats shoots and leaves. Eats, shoots, and leaves.

Paul Swydan

Yeah, now is not the time for Sale. After the rain is.

Ground Ball

Should I watch baseball instead of doing my homework?

Paul Swydan

2:25

Yes.

Carson Cistulli

I believe "After the Rain" is the name of a PM Dawn album.

Paul Swydan

2:25

Ha.

Carson Cistulli

2:26

Depends, Ground Ball. Which subject, level of education?

Fair line

Bender from Futurama would be an ideal robo-ump. Try arguing with him.

Why on earth would you start warming up Sale when you know there's going to be a long rain delay within the hour?

Paul Swydan

2:26

That's a great question, Justin. A great question.

When did Dustin Pedroia turn into such a gigantic tool? He used to be the definition of a smart, gritty ballplayer. And now he's...not that

Carson Cistulli

2:27

Perhaps if you don't expect Sale to pitch more than an inning or two?

Paul Swydan

2:27

I think it's possible Pedroia has always been the same person, and just the perception of him has changed now that he isn't a perennial All-Star.

Carson- History. Specifically US history. College. I am NOT a history major.

Ugh

2:27

Can I just say this warm October weather sucks. As both a baseball fan and a runner

Fun King Bolshevik was Trotsky's nom de plume when writing a series of pamphlets aimed at getting more young people involved in the Revolution

Paul Swydan

2:28

I could do without the humidity.

Carson Cistulli

2:28

Ground Ball: need more information. What epoch we studying here? What text?

What can you tell me about Econometrics Carson? I have a test tomorrow but baseball is on...

Fun King Bolshevik would be a great band name

Question: would outfielders save more or fewer runs if they manned their positions on horseback?

Hunky Dory

2:29

As a Yankees fan...yes, Pedroia has always been (let's say, kindly) the same person. Fans of a team are always the last to know.

Genuine question, what's the probability that Girardi is the red sox manager next year? Has to be non-zero

ChatzMcGee

2:30

It's a tiny horse.

Paul Swydan

I asked Mike Axisa the other day if the Yankees were really going to fire Girardi, and he assured me that they weren't going to.

Sonny

Having Carson 3 seconds ahead with the radio call is weird and fun. Quick tell me the future!

Carson Cistulli

2:30

Blackness, all.

Michael

According to Dave Cameron, Yuli is not a good player

Carson Cistulli

2:30

Pssh. Dave Cameron.

Wildcard

I'll go with fewer. Worse reaction times.

Michael

2:31

Is Mike Axisa really more connected to the org than Mike Francesa?

Paul Swydan

2:31

I'm comfortable saying yes.

Srhkthew2

2:31

Fewer. They'd have to dismount to field ground balls.

HankLloydWright

2:31

Few runs because of the added reaction time

Mike

As a Dodger fan, to get Barnes (a 4-WARP player in 250 PAs with 5 years of team control and with Grandal in decline this year) from us, I would only be interested in a deal that started with Betts, Devers or Sale.   JBJ is not good enough to be worth giving up a 5-6 win catcher for the next 6 seasons.   The Dodgers have some nice catching prospects but they are all A or below right now besides Kyle Farmer.

They wouldn't make that deal for JBJ.   They don't need Bogaerts.   Benintendi would be interesting but ultimately I don't know that he hits enough to be a 5 win corner outfielder.

You don't trade a 5-6 win player for a bunch of 3 win players when you are already as deep as the Dodgers.  You have to make a substantial improvement at a position and lock it down.   The Dodgers could play Devers at 2b.    That's the most realistic trade, since they wont trade Betts or Sale.

Fairly efficient third. Porcello in the fourth?
