It's just way too hard to get 12 games of Cy-level performance with 0 wins

Meg Rowley

11:22

That's a very nice play from Dubon

Astros Win

11:22

Has anyone mentioned "God Bless America" yet? I just turned off the Astros game when it came on since it's a blowout. I'd probably listen to "This Land is Your Land"

Ben Clemens

11:22

I generally concur

I'd stay for take me out to the ballgame

11:23

The God Bless America-nization of the seventh inning stretch irks me because we already had a perfectly good song

Braves fan late to the... party?

11:23

almost all of bill murray's would

Ben Clemens

11:23

(read FanGraphs)

11:24

And yet Bill Murray probably does not

Meg Rowley

11:24

I find Doosan being an MLB sponsor funny because like... is a developer buying a forklift because she watches the Dodgers?

5 Run Homer

11:25

Venkman is probably a dick about how he reads Fangraphs

Meg Rowley

11:25

This is a good take

Chris

11:25

Just going to lose my mind when degrom loses out on the cy young to like an Antonio senzatela because they inexplicably won 9 games

Ben Clemens

11:25

I think we're past that, but if he puts up a 1 ERA, yeah

James

11:25

Chris Paddack threw his new curveball a bit tonight. Looks much better than his one last year, tunneling we’ll with the FB & changeup. I’m pumped.

Ben Clemens

11:25

I didn't see it but I'll watch a bit of it

11:26

Paddack needs a new breaking ball badly so that's a huge development if it's good

5 Run Homer

11:26

If Antonio Senzatela puts up a 1.00 ERA give him the award

That’s right to do when you’re Antonio Senzatela

Ben Clemens

11:26

Oh yeah, good point. I wonder how fluky an ERA would have to be

for people to say know

Could we have a Cy winner with a 6 FIP?

Chris

11:27

All of Jonah hills characters read fangraphs, including the himself he played in this is the end, but he does not read fangraphs

Ben Clemens

11:27

Incredible

Meg Rowley

11:27

do they keep the Joe Davis cut out in the park during games he calls?

Bonobos37

11:29

How many current A's players is Rickey Henderson still faster than?

Ben Clemens

11:29

You aren't gonna like this answer but I don't think it's that many

11:30

I just looked up the world record for 100m dash among 60+ competitors

it's like 12 seconds

(Rickey is 61)

11:30

Could a closer w 18 saves and 0.59 era actually win a Cy and be in running for mvp?

5 Run Homer

11:30

Ramon Laureano big dinger

Mr. Rochester

11:30

Luis Robert just ripped a 104 mph two strike double off the bottom of the wall in right center

Meg Rowley

11:31

yes, but I don't think they win either award

the487

11:31

Jimmy fallon from fever pitch reads a fictional magazine called RBIs weekly but not fangraphs

Ben Clemens

11:31

Ugh, I have still never watched Fever Pitch

brad

11:32

18 saves is only a 48 pace in 162. I think a closer would have to have something ridiculous 25+ if not 30+ saves

Ben Clemens

11:32

I drove 12 hours on a whim to attend G4 of the 2004 WS where they filmed Fever Pitch

So I cannot, on principle, ever watch it

Sonny

11:33

anyone else having trouble tracking homers without fans to kind of tell you where the ball is going? Knew the Laureano ball was out but totally missed it even on replay
