We are doing our Chris Archer homework. Take that as you will.

Stephen J. Nesbitt

2:01

Yeah. Check this out. Archer's opponent OPS first time through order: .747. Second time thru: .804. Third time thru: .694.

2:02

By pitch count: Pitch 1-25 (.678 OPS), Pitch 26-50 (.919), Pitch 51-75 (.775), Pitch 76-100 (.541).

Does it really matter what pitcher we get when we can't actually score in the 1 game playoff? It can't be 0-0 forever, can it?

Stephen J. Nesbitt

2:03

Not with that attitude.

Sean Gentille

2:03

Theoretically, yes.

Stephen J. Nesbitt

2:03

I am here for a 0-0 game.

Sean Gentille

2:04

There's been more existentialism here than I'd expected.

Redbeard

2:04

Better beard: Adam LaRoche or Colin Moran?

Sean Gentille

2:04

I can't believe I'm saying this, but it's Moran, by a good margin.

I'm not even sure what to compare him to, at this point. He's cruised past all the hipster analogies.

Jim

2:04

Are the Pirates just looking for pitching help? Or do you think they will bring in a big bat to help more with the offense?

Stephen J. Nesbitt

2:04

Would you take a little bat? That might be more likely.

DC Yinzer

2:05

Primantis for a crab cake sandwich at Camden Yards. And a Natty Boh to be named later.

PhillyJake

2:05

Shake Shack is good!

Edward

2:05

Atlanta has a Waffle House. Should PNC?

Greg

2:05

PNC has the crab fries though. Those things are great

Stephen J. Nesbitt

2:05

These are all welcomed takes.

dahnie

2:05

would matt harvey be an upgrade for this team? a UFA after the season. maybe wouldn't have to give up *much*.

Sean Gentille

2:05

Fry hack -- carry Old Bay around.

Stephen J. Nesbitt

2:05

I wouldn't consider him a sure upgrade.

Sean Gentille

2:05

Then all your fries are crab fries.

Stephen J. Nesbitt

2:05

Evan

2:06

If we can't get Chris Archer, which archer is next on your list? Cartoon Archer? Men in Tights Robin Hood? Catniss Everdean? Kevin Coster Robin Hood?

Sean Gentille

2:06

Mallory Archer. She runs the show.

Stephen J. Nesbitt

2:06

MiT Robin Hood is my pick.

Sean Gentille

2:06

Hawkeye from Avengers, maybe?

PhillyJake

2:06

Crab Fries is a phila thing. The line at Cit Bank Park for them can last two innings.

Stephen J. Nesbitt

2:06

Classic Philly stan.

Sean Gentille

2:07

crab jawns

Chris

2:07

Seems most of the pundit chatter is on archer. Hardly a mention of Gausman in several hours.

Stephen J. Nesbitt

2:07

Jerry Crasnick: "Dan Duquette continues to work the trade deadline. The #Orioles are closing in on another deal, source says."

Warm up that trade machine, Dan.

Sean Gentille

2:08

Dan Duquette -- Gausman's Bossman

Greg

2:08

PhillyJake is right, they’re also pretty huge in ocean city, New Jersey

Sean Gentille

2:09

i was thrilled to see them at PNC but again, those things are just crinkle cut fries with Old Bay on them. I'm not waiting hours.

Miami Manvan

Considering Harrison's struggles this year and the lack of contending teams with the need for a 2B, I feel Brian Dozier could be had at a comfortable price. Even as a rental, that could move Harrison back into a utility role and not have to depend on Sean Rodriguez. A power hitter that plays solid defense could bolster a push towards playoffs.

Stephen J. Nesbitt

2:10

You just wonder what Dozier would cost. Despite his struggles this year, he's an attractive add. Big power from the right side.

Is "beter" the same as "better?" who knows!
