Seager had a pretty disappointing year. Will he return to his former status as one of the top players in the league?

Craig Edwards

11:30

Kind of odd to call 3.3 WAR, 113 wRC+ season a disappointment, but it is his first full year back so I think its reasonable to expect better next season. There were probably people saying the same thing about Bellinger's 2018 season.

Belli Flop

Ben, have you kept your promise of bad puns and childish nicknames?

Ben Clemens

11:30

I never promised nicknames!

11:31

But puns, yes.

Nico Robin

11:31

the dodgers didn't really have anywhere to play alvarez and decided to flip him instead, which I don't think is as bad a move as everyone says it was

Craig Edwards

Maeda in the 9th?

Eh- he was 18 (or potentially had just turned 19). Not exactly clear they had any concept of when he'd be ready or how good he would be. Also, Josh Fields didn't pitch much for them and wasn't used in high leverage spots.

lol the Braves are down a game to the Cardinals, and ZiPS still thinks they are more likely to advance than the Rays

Ben Clemens

11:33

That's really something.

Sabo

11:34

Why didn't the nationals use doolittle vs muncy over keeping Rodney in the game?

Belli Flop

11:34

Jansen gets the ninth if LAD doesn't add on, no question.

Ben Clemens

11:35

Why didn't the Nationals use Doolittle vs. Bellinger over letting Rodney enter the game in the first place?

weezy

11:35

yeah the idea of yordan being blocked in rookie ball is hard to buy

Belli Flop

11:35

Especially considering Maeda's spot is up

RandyMarsh

11:35

Fields also gave up a homer in the WS in extras to the Astros so that's a double win for HOuston

Belli Flop

11:37

Can we not mention Josh Fields please? I have unpleasant memories. His beard probably isn't one of them.

Ben Clemens

11:37

Sure thing. Definitely won't mention Josh Fields anymore.

11:38

Chat- no one mention Josh Fields.

Josh Fields

11:38

wow eaton

Ben Clemens

11:38

Eaton the magician

Scuffy mcgee

11:38

How about fosh jields

Ben Clemens

11:38

Clearly allowable. Different person!

Adam2

11:38

Nice piece of fielding!

Craig Edwards

11:38

indeed

Ben Clemens

11:39

Wow Lux sighting.

Craig Edwards

11:39

gavin lux coming in the game.

Cito's Mustache

11:40

Take a drink every time EJ calls Jeff Francoeur "Frenchy" and you'll be in the hospital by the 5th inning.

Ben Clemens

11:40

Bill James suggested a drinking game on Twitter today.

Drink every time someone says batting average.

You would have legitimately died during the Cardinals game.

Muxosk

11:40

CANT CATCH THAT ONE

Ben Clemens

11:41

Fiat Lux

(I'm so sorry, I promised Belli Flop puns)

Adam2

11:41

I guess the Nays have it in re: Maeda

Belli Flop

11:41

GOOD LUX CATCHING THAT

weezy

11:41

I think he installed a lux capacitor

Craig Edwards

11:42

Lux Capacitor going more than 88 mph on that shot.

Ben Clemens

11:42

Hunter Strickland replacing Fernando Rodney feels timeless.

Connecting…
