3 batter minimum is at least reasonable. The others...ugh
Meg Rowley
10:25
I get the expanded playoffs for this year - I want players to drive changes in playing style, not the equipment
especially if it isn't consistent year to year
viceroy
10:25
don't forget universal DH as a new rule
Ben Clemens
10:26
Sorry I got lost in the Cards game. Adell is not on the opening 30 man
Meg Rowley
10:26
Strong endorse (I grew rooting for Edgar - of course I like the DH)
Derek
10:26
Universal DH is almost universally a positive change
Ben Clemens
10:26
I see what you did there
Clay Holmes is the game I've most often tried to make puns out of without once succeeding
Brian CashGod
10:27
White Sox have the best cutouts - they just showed a hilarious one of AJ Pierzinski with frosted tips, and shoutout to the fan who bought 100 copies of himself
Ben Clemens
10:27
He's in to pitch for Pittsburgh in the 8th
Meg Rowley
10:27
I was in and out on White Sox - are all 100 at the park?!
Braves fan late to the... party?
10:27
Is it just me or has the strikezone seemed a little horizontally generous today?
Ben Clemens
10:27
It certainly did in Mets/Braves
10:28
So-so in Cubs/Brewers and Sox/Twins
Meg Rowley
10:28
bless you
Ben Clemens
10:28
Mariners fans will recognize the pain Brewers announcers felt as Brandon Woodruff got squeezed
With Narvaez trying his hardest and just not framing smoothly
10:29
But Hendricks was fine even with Contreras back there
This is lude-i-cris
10:29
Phillies/Marlins strike zone was a bit wide as well
Eric A Longenhagen
10:29
The monsoon has arrived, it's pouring here
Also Ben
10:29
Is it possible Contreras was not the worst framer in that game?
5 Run Homer
10:30
Jaylin Davis bomb
Ben Clemens
10:30
Definitely possible. Narvaez didn't look good to my eyes
And Contreras looked better, though I do think Hendricks can give that illusion regardless of who's catching sometimes
Braves fan late to the... party?
10:31
Eric, how did Alex Jackson look behind the plate today?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:31
Meh, good enough.
5 Run Homer
10:31
We don’t talk enough about Kyle Hendricks being very good with an 86 mph fastball
Meg Rowley
10:31
Oh Albert.
Ben Clemens
10:31
He's a blast
10:32
I hate the fact that I'm blacked out of both of the late games and therefore have to switch between the MLB app and Youtube TV to watch them
And that is the first #bayareacomplaint of the night
Eric A Longenhagen
10:32
Hey, I'm gonna step away for a while. If I don't return, good night all
Meg Rowley
10:32
Bye, Eric! Thanks for chatting!

Kevin Newman just squandered a great play with a throwing error.
Matt
10:32
How long will it take for me to stop thinking "wow those fans are impressive for not flinching" after every foul back w/ cutouts?
Ben Clemens
10:32
I'd say base hit plus error probably
But yes, he threw that one not very close to the bag at all
Also Ben
10:33
There's some buzz that Contreras worked on his framing this offseason and it's improved...no idea how accurate that is though
Connecting…
