Was checking - neither Oakland nor Pittsburgh have gone for their yellow jerseys since 2018

Paul Sporer

4:49

Grant, wasn't it slammed AGAIN Arizona? I was a huge Miller backer but still can't recall a time when Arizona was seen as the winner of that deal

4:50

Surprised they went with Chris Martin

Eric A Longenhagen

4:51

Correa showing the 80 arm

Paul Sporer

4:52

Jatt Moyce with a chance....

Grant

4:53

Paul, that's what I meant. People slammed Arizona for it even before we knew Shelby Miller was no good. It only looks worse now

Paul Sporer

4:53

Oh ya ya ya... just gets worse by the day with Dansby evolving into a first division player

Eric A Longenhagen

4:58

lol, he's certainly in the very precisely staged team photo.

Quadrangular

4:58

True or False: Bregman has the biggest "coach's son" energy in the majors

Paul Sporer

4:59

looooool

so accurate

I miss 'Devil Rays'

wonder mike

5:03

Man, I feel so happy for d'Arnaud. I always have sympathy for highly regarded prospects who have a rough start to their career. Feel like he's been under-appreciated his whole career + bad injury luck. He's been solid for a couple years now

Eric A Longenhagen

5:03

Yeah, every year there's a catcher who's non-tendered after being hurt a ton and ends up being good. He's been that guy like 3 times.

Baseball Eating

5:04

Khris Davis did the thing again

Eric A Longenhagen

5:04

dinger to CF, maybe Springer could have robbed it if he could see it?

Austin

5:05

"Devil Rays" might have worked as a name if you had a shorter city name preceding, but "Tampa Bay Devil Rays" was too much of a mouthful

Eric A Longenhagen

5:05

that's fair

Paul Sporer

5:08

It was certainly close so Springer would've had a shot

Eric A Longenhagen

5:13

Another soft grounder through an OAK infield defense that sorely misses its best defender

Steve Nebraska

5:15

Too much of a mouthful? So if you go by syllables, that's 6... No more than Colorado or LAD

Paul Sporer

5:15

Perhaps it's because it's 4 words? I dunno, just speculating

Eric A Longenhagen

5:19

Pretty amazing plate coverage by Springer, who goes out and pulls a breaking ball off the plate away from him 420ft to center. 2-1 Houston

Brandon

5:19

Tampa Bay Devil Rays uses a lot of front-mouth consonants. It's why it's a mouthful when a word like Colorado really isn't.

Eric A Longenhagen

5:21

we're now thru two and a half in the AL game, Braves threatened again in 8th but did not score, still up 4 in 9th

Also Ben

5:22

How long until Springer is a corner outfielder?

Paul Sporer

5:22

A year or two? Depending where he goes

5:23

Did the Braves waste their potential advantage by using both Martin & Melancon?

Eric A Longenhagen

5:24

with a 4-run cushion and the bottom of the order hitting in the 8th, yeah I think they could've just used one.

but they're up 1-0 now, so...

Numpty

5:24

Seven pitch inning save Melancon some work

Eric A Longenhagen

5:28

Looks like we're gonna wrap things up here shortly. Let's go through this half inning and then I'll close up shop.

5:29

tough break for Piscotty. Maldonado hopped on a spiked Framber Valdez curveball like a panther and hosed him. I thought it was a good play to run based on how badly Valdez bounced it

5:31

valdez walks Semien, La Stella hitting w/ 2 out

Paul Sporer

5:31

OK y'all, I gotta get going. Thanks for hanging out. Eric, Dan, talk to y'all later!

Eric A Longenhagen

5:32

Correa fights the sun and catches La Stella pop up. That's gonna do it, folks. Thanks for coming. Have a great rest of your day.
