Is a good pitcher! The ERA will be appealing to people! I think Scherzer and deGrom are more deserving!
I like exclamation points!
Dennis

How often does Mike Petriello broadcast games? I heard him once and would love to hear him more
Meg Rowley
2:52
I agree -- he does a good job.
Dennis
2:53
Do u think MLB should change the rules so teams can have two separate squads, one for Defense one for Offense so it would be fun to see the best of both?
Meg Rowley
2:53
No.
Dennis

As a huge Mets fan is it smart to root for them to do poorly so they can get a regime change and not have a manager/gm who says he makes 80% of his decisions against analytics?
Meg Rowley
2:54
I think you should root for them to do well because ownership seems to be a not insignificant part of the problem and likely isn't going anywhere.
2:55
You guys very recently got the fun of a World Series, and the playoffs -- the dysfunction isn't always such an issue that it prevents good baseball.
Marshall

Would football be a more enjoyable game (from fans' perspective) if offensive players had to play defense, and vice versa?
Meg Rowley
2:55
No, but the sports can be different.
Ryan
2:56
When are we going to see your article on the 12 minute Red Sox game?
Meg Rowley
2:56
David, you can just call me.
(soon)
Dennis

Do you like exclamation points because it looks like a baseball bat   !
Meg Rowley
2:56
No but now I won't be able to unsee that.

Wouldn't the all-white/black jerseys have been better if they had some kind of trim or accent in a team's color? Maybe outline the name/number in a color? It was impossible to see the nicknames, and when watching highlights, there was no way to tell by looking what teams were involved.
Meg Rowley
2:57
Also, put the umps in neon. Made it very confusing when the team where black was in the field.
Knuckles

How much of Shane Bieber is his quality of a pitcher and how much is the fun that comes with yelling "Hey Beebs!" and watching a bunch of JumboTron high stepping?
Meg Rowley
2:58
The second doesn't get in the way of the first, which is saying something.
Yankees/Dodgers
2:58
That... kinda felt like a playoff series, didn't it?
Meg Rowley
2:58
Yes.
Not the one I think we'll get ultimately, but yes.
Phills Phan
2:59
I've heard multiple Phillies players in postgame interviews basically beg the fans to stick by them and basically stop booing them. Do you think a change in the level of support a home crowd gives a team could/would have an effect on how that team plays at home?
Meg Rowley
2:59
I think being miserable at work can impact job performance, but probably not so much that it would tilt a season, and not in a way that is easy to measure.

soooo what's the WS matchup
Meg Rowley

Astros/Dodgers

I don't drink coffee but somehow it became my job to order coffee for the break room. What flavors should I get?
Meg Rowley
3:00
Not keen on flavored coffee personally.

Ok pals, I need to get rolling. Thanks for the questions, and sorry for what I didn't get to. The site will be dark next Monday for the holiday, and I will not be chatting next week as I will be in the mountains with rather spotty internet.
Have a great week, and see you in September!
