Yes for sure. I just had no idea where Muncy's homer was heading

Smiling Politely

11:34

Max Muncy...MVP candidate?

Ben Clemens

11:34

Give it a little longer

11:35

Whoever leads the league in wRC+ at, say, the 10-game mark is automatically a candidate

Meg Rowley

11:35

WHAT A WORLD

Chris

11:35

if I had known doosan was a sponsor I wouldn’t have just purchased that KAT excavator as my daily driver, smdh

Defenestrater

11:35

So, apparently Eovaldi briefly changed uniform number mid-game??

Ben Clemens

11:35

Ughhhhhh I just picked up a John Deere front end loader

Meg Rowley

11:35

Nate Eovaldi said that he accidentally picked up Vazquez's jersey. He said both them sweat a lot so he thought it was his until he noticed it was too tight on him and then his teammates (jokingly) started calling him Vazquez's name.

Eovaldi wearing his catcher, Christian Vazquez’s, number and I have no clue why. Weird times bruh.

Ben Clemens

11:36

SOCIAL DISTANCING VIOLATION

also, gross

2-digit number

11:37

...why did he take off his jersey in the first place???

Meg Rowley

11:37

He was very sweaty

Derek

11:38

Yeah my question was why did they both have their jerseys off in close proximity to each other???

Meg Rowley

11:39

they were both very sweaty

Braves fan late to the... party?

11:39

Meg, you got 5000 words out of someone pooping themselves, but only 4 for putting on the wrong jersey?

the487

11:39

Max Kepler and Max Muncy currently MVP frontrunnners.. When was the last time the AL and NL MVP had the same first name?

Meg Rowley

11:39

It's a different time

Ben Clemens

11:39

I can't believe I just looked this up, but it's never happened

Came very close in 1984 (WIllie Hernandez AL) and 1985 (Willie McGee NL)

the487

11:41

Also 1925: Roger Peckinbaugh and Rogers Hornsby

Ben Clemens

11:41

Oh I only looked at BBWAA

That's a good call

ChuckNChino

11:41

Guillermo begs to differ...

Ben Clemens

11:41

Fair counterpoint

Nolan

11:42

Let's make it three Maxes, by adding Max Fried or Max Scherzer for the Cy Young

Ben Clemens

11:42

Scherzer is going to have an uphill climb

Defenestrater

11:42

Wait, then Vazquez also took his jersey off. Eovaldi came out wearing the jersey in the top of the 3rd, but Vazquez batted in the bottom of the 2nd. How did Vazquez have time to take his off when he had to put on catching gear???

Ben Clemens

11:42

If it weren't for the sweat detail, I'd think he'd grabbed a backup

11:43

Last night Eduardo Perez just could NOT stop talking about how analytics were all lies if they told you to pinch hit for Brandon Crawford

(I'm paraphrasing)

11:44

his argument being that he might get to face a righty later

Well, this at-bat against Stripling isn't making me think "yeah let's get Crawford at-bats against righties"

John

11:44

Guys, I'm starting to think that the Giants aren't very good.

Ben Clemens

11:44

Gulp

Meg Rowley

11:45

Sometimes I get distracted by the baseball and forget to chat

Joe

11:45

granted, the Giants are not good, but the Angels sure could have used Stripling.

Ben Clemens

11:45

Just... they could have used Joc too!

Ugh

What was Arte doing?

Connecting…
