Kyle Johnson

Moved in with my brother-in-law who's an AL Central fan. I'm an NL Central fan. My main observation night 1 is how much more familiar you are with relievers in your own division
Ben Clemens
10:51
Too bad Eric isn't here, Paul DeJong being good is my favorite thing to needle him about
Meg Rowley
10:51
100%
(my 100% is in response to Kyle)
Pieman
10:51
Wish Jay were here so my HOF question would be selected :(
Ben Clemens
10:51
Oh send it again
Sorry things are jumping around a bit here
Matt
10:52
Newman's seemed to make some real nice stops, but yeah - throwing power is lacking
Ben Clemens
10:52
Yeah he looks like a great 2B
Derek
10:52
I know it's only one game but Bumgarner's Dbacks debut has gone much better than I expected/feared
Meg Rowley
10:53
he's looked pretty sharp - I'm surprised by how not weird he looks in a D-backs uni
Defenestrater
10:53
By contrast, DeJong’s bat power is not lacking
Ben Clemens
10:53
DeJong is one of my favorite players. Partially because I'm a Cardinals fan and I mean, I'm still a little bit of a homer.
10:54
But partially because he's just neat. A bat-first shortstop who strikes out a lot and is also one of the best defenders in baseball?
What the heck
Pieman
10:54
Thanks Ben :) Which father-son duo is most likely to make the Hall? Bonds, Biggio, or Guerrero?
Ben Clemens
10:54
Ooh, hmmm
Well Bonds is like 0% right?
10:55
I don't see Bobby getting in via some weird committee
I'll go Guerrero but look, I'm a little antsy about his conditioning, I'm not gonna lie

Meg have you started watching stove league yet?
Meg Rowley
10:56
Ugh, no, I am a failure - been a busy couple of weeks
Defenestrater
10:56
Good on Jarrod Dyson for wearing a mask, but you need to cover the nose. Dyson’s doesn’t even fully cover his upper lip
Ben Clemens
10:56
It's aspirational
Jeez what happened to the Mariners?
I watch one DeJong hoer
homer*
Meg Rowley
10:56
Ben, the defense is bad.

Trout going to help La Stella up and then remembering “nah we don’t make hand contact any more” was honestly delightful.
Braves fan late to the... party?
10:57
Ha. Trout reached out to give a high five after that La Stella catch then quickly pulled it back. Oh the time we live in
Meg Rowley
10:57
Evan White? He's good. Much of the rest is very much not.
Ben Clemens
10:57
One moment, friends. I'm going to pick up delivery.
I was very much not up for cooking tonight
10:58
Pica Pica, Venezuelan food
aaaand heading down now
Brian CashGod
10:58
ohh where did you order from?
Ben Clemens
10:58
(to answer that)
Chris
10:59
Having your best defender be your first basemen is a market inefficiency imo
Meg Rowley
11:00
So, first base and all that, but he's legitimately incredible, and I'm not just saying that because I've watched some.. real stinkers
11:01
Things are getting... interesting in San Diego
