Yeah, Tanner Rainey sounds like a Madden create-a-player name.

Adam2

11:02

What other old timey jobs should become trendy first names like Tanner?

Cooper. Wainwright.

We seem to have taken a rather weird turn.

Meanwhile, Rainey is getting a little wild.

Craig Edwards

Apothecary

Ben Clemens

11:05

Craig: philosophy discussions, or old-timey names?

Fangraph's Lurker

11:06

weirder turn: no kiley or dan either, the kings of weird turns

Ben Clemens

11:06

Psh we're coming for them.

(that's not true. Dan is unbeatable at weird turns)

5 Run Homer

11:06

Dog update, Ben?

Ben Clemens

11:07

Ooh, I can't resist.

Well, maybe after a quick update- Rainey is getting unlucky in addition to being wild.

That's a painful bloop.

Dog update: Ruby was not sufficiently tired for yesterday's game, so today I went all out: day care, then a walk, then thirty minutes of training.

11:08

She's wiped out and sleeping on a bed I set beside my computer.

Craig Edwards

Fernando Rodney is 42 years old and pitching in the playoffs.

Dystopian Future

11:08

The Nationals have really not put much together so far, hitting wise. And now the bullpen is coming in. Is it safe to say they're in serious trouble?

Ben Clemens

11:09

Yeah- even if you ignore the relative talent levels of the teams and bullpens, we have the Dodgers at 89.4% to win from here

and, those are not equal.

Muxosk

11:09

Baseball is a fun game, so it's more like some lighthearted trouble with no serious stakes I'm sure.

Ben Clemens

11:09

Some light hijinks.

HOLD ON FOR YOUR LIFE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IT IS TIME FOR THE FERNANDO RODNEY EXPERIENCE

Adam2

It’s up to Fernando to save Tanner’s hide

Craig Edwards

11:11

Looks like Latroy Hawkins was the last pitcher in the postseason older than Rodney back in 2015 for the Blue Jays. Before that, Jamie Moyer in the 2008 World Series. We are in Moyer territory, everyone.

Yolo

11:11

Fernando Rodney is a professional pitcher

Craig Edwards

11:11

Looking for a good piece of pitching, here.

Dystopian Future

11:11

I agree with the Dodgers fans; Fernando Rodney is my MVP for sure.

John

11:12

Fernando rodney has played for more teams than he has WAR

Ben Clemens

11:12

This is a weird thing, but I find the corners in/middle infield double play depth configuration really visually cool.
