Dan, Davy, and the other FG contributors: Just know that this chat was so fun. Glad to be here.... here we go!
Davy Andrews

Thanks, RTJ! You have all brought a lot of great bunt jokes.

Just so you guys know, I'm not staying for a 19 inning game
Davy Andrews
10:36
You really did yeoman's work tonight.
sharps
10:36
should this be a 3 game series?
Davy Andrews
10:36
Hard to see it ever happening, but yeah, definitely.
Orioles2024
10:36
Yeah, this was a total blast.  And a GREAT WBC!  Not sure why there would be any baseball fan in dissent.
RTJ

Why do you have to go and ruin a good time now Dan?
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:36
I'm a middle-aged man. It's my job to ruin good times.

ANGELS ON THE MOUND AND ALSO IN THE ON DECK CIRCLE AND THEN AN ANGEL IN THE BATTER'S BOX, the Disney sequel title-makers are drunk but whatever, this is fun stuff.

I'm so excited to watch McNeil grind out a walk, the 1 and 2 hitters to bunt him over to 2nd and 3rd so the heart of the lineup can get him home
Ben Schneider
10:37
What should Shohei the Closer's entrance song be?
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:37
Nothing. When Shohei enters at a closer, it should STRICTLY ENFORCED SILENCE DESCENDING ON THE STADIUM LIKE THE VEIL OF DEATH
Shohei Ruth

John Smoltz needs to be FDIC Chairman.  All the reporters would mute their zoom meetings, and banks could do whatever they wanted and the public wouldn't know nor care.
Byron Denniston

I’m terrified pls dont get hurt
Davy Andrews
10:38
I say this to myself several times a day.
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:38
"Did they raise the interest rate?" "No, Smoltz kinda went on this rant about how kids today have little interest in banking and he then he trailed off mumbling something about William Jennings Bryan."
Also Dan
10:39
if McNeil gets on and Betts hits a walkoff homer and we don’t get ohts
Byron Denniston
10:39
seconding the deathly silence

walkup song = the screech of an autobot being crushed under the heavy foot of ohtani-tron

Upcoming Ohtani/Trout matchup for all the marbles
RTJ

McNeil and Walks like PB and Jelly

Bobby Witt Jr. time!

You know those bullpen carts that relievers got to ride on? Ohtani should come out in an Ohtani robot inside a larger Ohtani robot inside a giant Ohtani robot and they should unfold like nesting dolls
Dave
10:40
Pretty sure you're confusing FDIC and Fed Reserve

It's late

As is the case with all the game chats, all are great, but this has raised the bar still higher. I thank all the members of the Fangraphs family for offering their time for this imprompto gift  to all the listeners.
Ben Schneider
10:41
A bunt would have been better there
Davy Andrews
10:41
Oh man.
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:41
I liked Smoltz's word salad explaining the double play
Orioles2024
10:41
Well said, bosoxforlife.  Still hope your team finishes last.
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:42
Imagine if you had to watch a game by only listening to his audio. No video.
Kwah

Rocky sequels dreamed of presenting a scenario this compelling.
