So shakespeare, then The Routers, then Lil Jon, then Brett Lawrie

Wow that song was like, not good
AvatarJay Jaffe

might as well throw the Cars in there, from 1979, reprising the claps

The connections between Shakespeare and Lil Jon grow by the day

Grant Balfour K’d a batter to end a close game a few years ago, silencing the Fenway Park crowd. Balfour’s euphoric shout could be heard clear as a bell in the press box, and it was far more colorful than “Let’s Go.”

Given that he was a pitcher, Lance Painter might be the best Painter name-wise.
Best Lance?
5:37
The best Lance for me is Lance Laybourn, 1969 Pony Leaguer for me!  Damn, will I split a gut if Lance reads this and responds

I'm liking this score bug less and less.

I'm still liking the scorebug fine. But also enjoying the giant insect content.

I think he would've been out by 30 feet

"Professional hitter" is... not a good term.

I dunno, that seemed awfully professional to me

I enjoy Altuve a bit less now, but only because he didn't embrace being a heel as much as Correa did.

Regarding the shortstop free agents, how would lindor be ranked with them pre-2021 and post-2021?
AvatarJon Becker
5:48
Now this is an interesting one. I'd have had Lindor first pre-2021, I think I would have him third now
(after Correa and Seager)
AvatarJay Jaffe
5:49
Good q. For me he's fallen behind Correa and Seager too

Also in regards to Free Agency, is Freeman pretty much an assumed lock back to ATL
AvatarJon Becker
5:50
I hate to assume anything, but... yeah
AvatarJay Jaffe
5:50
I assume he's staying put

Jose Atuve has the second-most WAR and second-highest wRC+ (min. 1,500 PAs) among second baseman since he broke into MLB in 2011.  Cano is tops in both categories,
Anthony
5:53
Do any of the free agent shortstops project to get paid more than lindor? Or did the Mets paint themselves into a corner trying to jump on the free agent market?
AvatarJon Becker
5:53
I don't think so, no; I doubt anyone clears, say, $280M. But it's not the Mets painting themselves into a corner either, IMO: Lindor is still a great baseball player and they still have a ton of money to spend.
AvatarDavid Laurila
5:53
That's a tough error.

Is Cano underrated? Just barely not a HoFer for me but also a player I consider one of the handful most talented players I’ve ever seen
AvatarJay Jaffe
5:55
Cano would be an easy HOFer if he hadn't gotten suspended twice. He's 7th in JAWS, and before his suspension appeared to have a shot at 3,000 hits.
5:56
even if he were done, 2,624 hits, 334 homers and ~70 WAR is an easy Hall of Famer, but the suspensions change how that will be viewed

OK, Pierzynski just mispronounced Adam Hamari's name again, even though his broadcast partner gets it right every time. Silly that it bugs me, but it bugs me.
AvatarJay Jaffe
5:57
I think he's OK in the booth but Pierzynski has spent a lifetime in baseball finding ways to get on people's nerves.

What kind of deal do you guys project for a super utility guy like Chris Taylor? Obviously we saw Enrique Hernandez last year get that 2/14M. Is it similar?
