Looking back on it, thoughts on the Betts trade?
Ben Clemens
6:28
I think the baseball community got it pretty right
Mookie Betts is insanely good and the Red Sox didn't demand enough for a year of his services

Better ring-less dynasty: 1990s Indians or 2010s Dodgers?

Dodgers by a hair I say

Smoltz actually has good point about walls being short enough to rob homers (except Fenway)
Ben Clemens
6:29
Yeah credit to him for that

Underrated feature of stadium design is making a wall that is just the right height for robbing HRs.  I think I've seen more robberies or near robberies in the last 10 games in Arlington than the last 1000 at Dodger Stadium.

It's also fun having an impregnable wall
screw fenway, someone should build a game of thrones 1000 foot high outfield wall
6:31
and the bullpen is on the top of the wall and relievers have to zipline in
Ben Clemens
6:31
A 1000-foot zipline sounds terrifying
Fire Ken Tremendous

But the zipline looks like a dragon!

i'm now remembering when someone did an OOTP save with 500ft deep, 20ft high outfield walls

Remember on opening night this year when, who was the announcer who said Joc Pederson (like his teammates Cody Bellinger and Mookie Betts) was an MVP candidate? That was incorrect.

I dunno, but sounds like something crayz A-Rod would say
Andy
6:32
More or less terrifying than being brought in for Betts-Seager-Turner in a high leverage situation?
Craig

I want a 500 ft triples alley type corner. Get some inside the parkers
Ben Clemens
6:32
I'm gonna say more, because I'm far more likely to die on the zipline
Am I getting locked in somehow?
What if my hands got sweaty??

Bellinger has a look on his face like he just saw a naked magazine for the first time and nobody else knows he has it
Ben Clemens
6:33
So, we all have no idea how balks work
But how was that not a balk?
AvatarDan Szymborski
6:33
If something feels "that just ain't right" it's a balk
it has to be ain't. If it's not, then it's not a balk

Robbing HRs is great, but what is the most exciting single play in baseball (assuming a neutral context): stealing home? robbing a HR? triple play?
AvatarDan Szymborski

projectile vomit on the catcher during a collision at the plate
Laura

I must say, the fans at Globe Life Field have made me realize how much I've missed booing in the piped-in crowd noise elsewhere.
Jess
6:34
i'd say there is nothing greater than an Inside the Park HR
Matt
6:34
Most exciting play is a well executed play at the plate from the outfield
Dodger Fan
6:34
Walk off balks are the stupidest and therefore the most exciting
Not Will Smith

This has been a remarkably collegial NLCS. Nice to see

ah, a sleep apnea medicine in which one of the lack of side effects is lack of sleep
Fire Ken Tremendous
6:35
After that half inning, I want Bellinger and Freeman to star in a buddy cop movie
D Lew
6:36
Crazy A-Rod? What do you mean? Just because he compared Judge to Michael Jordan? Hehe
Ben Clemens
6:36
I especially enjoy how obvious it is that A-Rod knows maybe 15 non-Yankee baseball players
AvatarDan Szymborski

My fave A-Rodism was on Opening Day. His partner asked him to name a couple deep sleeper teams and he chose Braves and Astros.
Matt
6:37
Well, both made the championship series.  Seems like he has you beat, ZIPSboy
