WHy didn't Ernie Johnson realize that it was a catch? Just where did he think the ball went?

Dodger fan

9:03

We are very not actually discussing the game

lee

9:03

Did Kiké make a really great or really poor play?

Dystopian Future

9:03

Back into the wall, clearly.

Dan Szymborski

9:03

The Astros should replace the departed Tal's Hill with the Peanuts kite-eating tree.

but, like, eats baseball because there aren't a lot of kite-related plays in the average baseball game

Who's the next decent Marlin to be given away for free by Jeter? I think he may be out of them by now but Caleb Smith looks like he has value that Jeter can fail to recoup in a trade

Nick Dika

9:04

Imagine this Marlins' rotation with Stanton/Ozuna/Yelich/Realmuto in the lineup

Dan Szymborski

9:05

Paddack + Castillo!

Oh wait, if the Marlins get Castillo back, they also dont' get to keep the Dan Straily Hot Years.

MAXIMVS MVNCIVS

9:05

Ernie had to check w/ the Chinese COmmunist Party to see if it's a catch

Hire Joe Morgan?

9:06

How much involvement does Jeter actually have in decisions?

Dan Szymborski

9:06

Dreamer Bob

9:06

Do you mean Luis Castillo or Luis Castillo?

Dan Szymborski

9:06

the really good one.

Nick Dika

9:06

He's replacing the CF statue with a Re2spect statue

Dan Szymborski

9:07

It's an insult to only retire Jeter's number. In honor of Jeter, I feel the Yankees should have retired the concept of numbers.

Dystopian Future

9:07

Which, saying that, we talk about "look at where the Marlins outfield is now" what are we going to be saying about the Angels in five years?

Dan Szymborski

9:07

"Can you believe it's been nine years and the Angels still can't figure out how to build a 71 win team plus Trout and get to .500?"

Mad Joe-Don

9:07

Wait. Home run derbies are pants-optional now!?

Dan Szymborski

9:07

It is true.

Hire Joe Morgan?

9:07

Dear Dan,

What is the appropriate way to make a delicious bean stew?

Thank you, kindly.

Dan Szymborski

9:07

The chili ingredients, but then add beans

Fire Adam Gase

9:08

I think we should've retired the gift basket alongside Jeter's number.

MAXIMVS MVNCIVS

9:08

Muncy's homer had an xBA of .370, LA 36 and EV 100.8

Pederson's double had an xBA of .740, LA 27 and EV 101.5

Soto's lineout had an xBA of .740 LA 21 and EV 103.9

Baseball

Hire Joe Morgan?

9:08

Can you have a delicious vegetarian bean stew?

Nick Dika

9:08

Yes- but it needs more cheese than a regular one.

Dan Szymborski

9:08

I'd prefer no, but it's a free country unless you're in Blizzard's cafeteria.

Hi lee

9:08

Lee: That was a horrible play bu Hernandez. Very lucky to recover

Fire Adam Gase

9:09

Marlins Man should be the owner of that team.

Dan Szymborski

9:09

I don't want Marlins Man to get to be a millionaire

Dodger fan

9:09

I didn't follow the nats that closely but my impression was that Zimmerman was basically toast. It appears that was not quite true

Dan Szymborski

9:09

Zimmerman's not toast, but you can feel the crustiness on the white part of the bread.

Dystopian Future

9:09

And the point of what I was saying is that the Marlins' 2014-2017 teams were just that; a team that couldn't figure out how to break .500 despite having some great players. They had no depth and a bad team, and wasted their money on Wei-Yin Chen. They were the current Angels; they were never going to make the playoffs.

Matt

9:10

So does an ice-cream sandwich at room temperature become a soup with croutons?

Dan Szymborski

9:10

Yes, a dessert soup.

Dodger fan

9:10

In his pregame, Dave Roberts explained stetting Hernandez vs a righty by talking about buehlers flyball tendencies and the importance of outfield defense

Dan Szymborski

9:10

I need to go pull up Strasburg curve swung at stats this game

NO CONGRATULATIONS TO SHILDT ERNIE

Nick Dika

9:11

Also important: Hernandez mashing taters.
