yeah, still game 4 starter

7:43

How can Acuna act like that?

Eric A Longenhagen

7:43

21 year olds are dumb most of the time

your frontal cortex (which drives your decision making) doesn't fully develop until you're around 25

Jeff

7:43

Are there people outside every Braves home game reminding attendees that this thing cost taxpayer billions over years and years? There should be

Josh

7:43

What are rules for returning players taken in minor league R5 draft?

Eric A Longenhagen

7:44

similar, just with less $ moving around

Belli Flop

7:45

What did Acuña do? I cannot watch the broadcast at the moment.

Lee van Beef

7:45

You don't need a fully developed frontal cortex to know that you're supposed to run when you hit the ball...

Eric A Longenhagen

7:46

right I'm speaking broadly

and it couldn't hurt

Go Barves!

7:46

Smahsed it oppo off the wall, thought it was out, jogged to first holding his bat instead of sprinting

7:47

I thought you didn’t return players in the minor league Rule 5-you just give the other team $12K and then that player is in your system now

Eric A Longenhagen

7:47

right, but I mean as far as the timelines for eligibility

Go Barves!

7:47

Unpopular (maybe homer) opinion, give me the guy that can hit that below-the-strike-zone slider off the wall for a single than the guy that whiffs or dribbles it but runs hard...

Eric A Longenhagen

7:48

we're not arguing about what makes players good, we're saying the guy should've run in that situation

Go Barves!

7:48

Need to get a Benetti/Schur playoff booth

Jeff

7:48

How's Alex Lange's velocity in the AFL? He was throwing like 5-6 different pitches with the Cubs, have the Tigers leaned out his repertoire to expedite a transition to the bullpen?

Kiley McDaniel

7:48

what about a McDongenhagen booth

Eric A Longenhagen

7:49

We'd be fired by the third

Eric A Longenhagen

7:48

I've seen 4 pitches. Heater is 92-95

Morbo

7:48

Kiley might have a slight bias this game

Kiley McDaniel

7:49

i am the signing scout for any player that is succeeding

Belli Flop

7:50

We just need more Nerdcats.

Kiley McDaniel

7:50

Eric has one of those for sure

Dystopian Future

7:50

No, honestly, they have a statcast broadcast, why not have a scouts broadcast? Surely there are more people interested in that than just me, right? Not to mention that looking backwards at where guys came from would fill up the time between pitches.

Eric A Longenhagen

7:51

All media is splintering enough that this seems possible.

Kiley McDaniel

7:51

i mean i can't be the only person thinking this

Guest

7:51

New meaning to backdoor slider

Kiley McDaniel

7:51

Would you watch at least 2 innings of a McDongenhagen broadcast

YES (87.5% | 49 votes)

gross (12.5% | 7 votes)

Total Votes: 56

Lee van Beef

7:51

Haha you could see Donaldson say "SHIT!"

Adam2

7:51

Just how Miller intended to get 2!

Mo money, Molina

7:52

i think there might be some selection bias to that poll...

Eric A Longenhagen

7:52

(nods)

7:53

With Lange and Hatch having success post trade, how (much more) concerned should the Cubs be about their pitching dev

Eric A Longenhagen

7:54

I agree there are enough instances of this sort of thing (along with all those college arms they drafted not doing much) to say, 'hey, maybe we're bad at this right now'

Jeff

7:54

How soon will Richard Gallardo's name be hitting the outside world (non-Cubs fans)? I'm thinking 2020 at 18, that guy is serious bidness

Eric A Longenhagen

7:55

just looked okay this year. Stuff is more average than above, but he's a great athlete and advanced for his age. Don't think he'll have a huge velo spike or anything, more of a back-of-rotation likelihood.

Belli Flop

7:55

Chris Martin has injured himself, it appears.

Eric A Longenhagen

7:56

Luke Jackson coming in
