obv meant Eric there, apologies to Dan.

Aaron’s Aron

9:38

i appreciate Eric’s play by play since I obviously don’t have every game up right now. :]

Brian CashGod

9:38

whoa I just turned on Cubs - Brewers, those Brewers uniforms are awesome

Mister Puppy

9:39

A-Rod now going with the "magical 100 pitch barrier" cliche :/

Doctor Parrot

9:39

The effects of PED use are medium term (increased strength) and long term (hormone wackiness)

Steve O

9:39

man what happened to brandon drury? he was supposed to be the yankees next 3B. He looks like a good hitter at the plate but nope

Eric A Longenhagen

9:39

Choi walked. Bases loaded for Rays in 8th, 1 out, down 2. Yandy Diaz up

Dan Szymborski

9:39

I didn't think Drury was ever going to be great

YardGoat

9:39

Dexter Fowler Home Run

Mister Puppy

9:39

"I'm sure he's got 100 pitches circled" like if Yelich went yard on number 97 it wouldn't matter

Derek

9:39

Kinda can't believe Dolis is still in here

Bosoxforlife

9:40

Ross comes out but leaves Hendricks in.

Estevao

9:40

Adelle or Robert? Eric.

Brian CashGod

9:40

what is the Blue Jays manager doing...

Topper Bottoms

9:40

Yeah my opinion is that Drury was in the Rob Refsnyder/Joba Chamberlain group of way-too-overhyped Yankees prospects

Dan Szymborski

9:40

It didn't happen for Joba, but I think he was above the other too

two

Eric A Longenhagen

9:41

I still have Adell but the more I see Robert the more I think it's him. Wanna see him not chase so much for a bit

Dan Szymborski

9:41

Drury/Ref were always going to be role players

Eric A Longenhagen

9:41

Cubs win, Hendricks CG

Brian CashGod

9:41

was Drury really a Yankees prospect? They traded for him after he'd already had some playing time in AZ

Steve O

9:41

Drury wasn't a yankee prospect lmao they traded him after he played 2.5 years with the Dbacks

Eric A Longenhagen

9:41

He sat 85-89 all game

Dan Szymborski

9:41

He was still youngish when they picked him up

Bosoxforlife

9:42

Complete game shutout!! So much for those 15 man bullpens that the cogniscenti said every team would need.

Estevao

9:42

That's one CG more than I was expecting for the season

kevinthecomic

9:42

I know everyone has been saying 2020 will be an even bigger bullpen year, but why wouldn't you leave your starter in if he's dealing? It's not like he's gonna get to 200 innings.

Eric A Longenhagen

9:42

Rafael Dolis is very close to escaping this jam. 2-2 vs Renfroe with 2 outs...

K looking

9:43

6-4 Jays heading to the 9th

Steve O

9:43

Man how much excitement is taken out of this regular season with this new format? These games hardly even matter anymore. A 30-30 record gets you in

This is lude-i-cris

9:43

Dan backpedaling and trying to salvage his Drury take

Dan Szymborski

9:43

I didn't say he was a yankee prospect! I said he was never going to be great and Joba was better than the other two

This is lude-i-cris

9:44

Isn’t there a prospect guy somewhere in this chat

Dan Szymborski

9:44

Be nice!

Kvn

9:45

Since Eric hasn't mentioned it, Chris Davis has two ground balls into the shift and a swinging K on a hanging breaking ball.

Derek

9:45

I'm actually happy with the playoff format (provided it doesn't stick beyond this year). This year is weird anyway, might as well lean into it! The wild card round will be a blast to watch

Dan Szymborski

9:45

I'd be much happier about it if they said "Oh yeah, we promise that we won't do this crap playoff system in a real year"

Eric A Longenhagen

9:46

Tension in Twins and White Sox game. Bases loaded with two outs for Jorge Polanc vs Evan Marshall. Polanco singles, two score. 7-5 MIN

This is lude-i-cris

9:46

Seriously though thanks for all your hard work on prospect info Eric. Also all the other amazing content the site churns out!
