Kiermaier's Piercing Green Eyes

Are there unwritten rules for baseball with respect to time traveling and the future? As far as I'm aware, the only precedent is backwards baseball-related time-traveling.

Ben Clemens

Well if you pimp a home run long enough that you can see yourself pimping it ten seconds in the future.
I assume that violates the rules.

Balls aren't carrying

So Acuna is the only player who can exist in multiple states
Ben Clemens

I'm not a meteorologist, but I would assume the rain is brutal for carry.
And humidity in general.

Nats park in cool weather plays like a huge park too...
Ben Clemens

Yeah it's not THAT cold in DC tonight but it's cooling increasingly as the night goes on
10:00
We underrate how much temperature matters for dingers
5 Run Homer
10:00
And it’s DC, so you know it’s humid

Didi's grand slam came close to 10 seconds of pimping, it was great
Ben Clemens
10:00
Didi's slam was great. Though I do think he was wondering if it was gone.
Aaron (UK)

If it's Nats-Cards, who get HFA?
Ben Clemens
10:02
Cards. Wild Card teams can't get HFA
Dystopian Future

On a little non-sequitur, why did the Twins build an outdoor stadium in Minnesota? Not knocking it, just sort of confused.
Ben Clemens
10:02
It was a big deal when they planned it, and my friends from Minny absolutely love going to games there.
Minneapolis is lovely for the vast majority of the baseball season.
But yeah, probably not fun around now.
CJ
10:03
Higher seeds gets HFA, right?
Ben Clemens
10:03
Yeah basically. It's record, unless the Wild Card team is involved (because they're the lowest seed)
Wire Fan

Didi said after the game he knew it was gone.   And something like it was more just relief and not wanting to go too crazy.
5 Run Homer
10:03
It’s like 12°C in Minneapolis right now, that’s not too terrible
Ben Clemens
10:04
Yeah, that's not pleasant but not unbearable.
Belli Flop
10:04
What's that in Fahrenheit
Ben Clemens
10:04
Low 50s?
Yeah 53.5

Why is Daniel Hudson in this game? It harkens back to Terry Collins using Familia in Game 3 in 2015, 9-3, then not having him at his best in Game 4.
Josh Herzenberg
10:05
They have a day off tomorrow
Ben Clemens
10:05
Or Andrew Miller in the 2016 WS
But yeah
In this spot it's not terrible I don't think?
The reliever stress doesn't get awful until the 7 game series
Because of the structure of off days
That is going to do it, folks.
10:06
Nationals hold on!
The exclamation mark is only because it's the Nats.
No other team would get the ! there
5 Run Homer
10:06
Buehler v. Strasburg Wednesday. Hell yeah
Josh Herzenberg
10:06
Should be a lot of fun!
