Yeah this is a real thing
Also, I don't get this narrative that Arozarena wasn't the best piece the Rays got in that deal
9:15
People who thought that at the time were mostly people who have heard of Jose Martinez and no one else in the deal
Benny and the Mets
9:15
As a Mets fan, the only thing I hate more than the Yankees is myself.

Wasn't Glasnow considered most likely a reliever specifically because of that lack of command?
sadtrombone
9:15
Yeah, you can teach Tyler Glasnow control, but teaching him command? I am shocked when he was painting the edges like that today. Like, who is this guy?
He's just leveled up for the World Series or something.

Smoltz: "Tony Pham"

At Fangraphs everyone thought Arozarena was the prize. Every other media outlet was wrong about that.
Ben Clemens
9:16
Eric was really into Arozarena b/c he's an adept talent evaluator
I was really into Arozarena b/c I really like watching him play
Derek
9:17
I was into Arozarena because he has a fun name
Ben Clemens
9:17
Another great reason!

It's a fun name to say

If Mike Trout actually kidnapped and took the place of Hunter Renfroe would the Rays be favored?
LFC Mike
9:18
Didn’t someone famous say strikeouts are boring.. and also fascist?
Ben Clemens
9:18
I would say ask ZiPS, but there's no way he could keep that kidnapping quiet long enough

I am enjoying this pitcher's duel.
Shattenjager

Clayton Kershaw being this good while clearly past his prime should emphasize just how scary good he was a few years ago.
Ben Clemens
9:19
Kershaw is a really fun pitcher to watch just because the three pitches are so clearly different
and all aesthetically pleasing
it kind of feels like playing a video game
Cam
9:19
Can we officially call this a pitchers duel now?

Someone technically has to slap each other across the face with a glove

Plus that backspin curveball!

I think you mean Crash Davis, Dan.

Could Liberatore still make the Rays look bad?
Ben Clemens
9:20
I suppose so, yeah
I do think that the Cardinals were generally acting rationally given their internal evaluation of Arozarena
9:21
But I mean, the Rays are ahead at the moment
Hugh Duffy
9:21
I don't think the Cardinals had any way to forecast that Arozarena would suddenly go on a diet of chicken and rice and 500 pushups a day.
Ben Clemens
9:21
delicious pushups!
ARod
9:22
Slapping people is indeed how you win playoff games.
Lzfreak
9:22
Should've tried feeding him rice and chicken
Mad Joe-Don
9:22
They could have asked him to do that. Just saying.
Ben Clemens
9:22
The thing is, he already broke out last year
9:23
The chicken and pushups are a good story but he was already bat speed god before that
Connecting…
