I thought that Gerrit Cole would get a win tonight, but I did not think it would be so one-sided.

It comes down money for the owners.
Which is fine, that's in their interest, it's just not in *my* interest, so I have no inclination to carry water for 'em.

Wait, where’s the stat cast? I don’t see it on ESPN 2. Can’t believe this was an option.

It's too bad Statcast gang got saddled with what is probably the worst game today.
Not the game I would have chosen as being the least interesting!

Yeah, I'm surprised
can't predict etc etc

Haven't tracked this, but it seems like so many of the ace vs. ace matchups just disappoint.
I wonder if there's a way to track this.
geometric mean of starter game scores?
9:46
I'm sorry, harmonic probably better
Meg Rowley

honestly, Dan how dare you

You did this, Meg.

I don't even know what this is in reference to anymore

Oops, did I click it?
I think it was from the HR pun stuff

I do appreciate a whole batter of Ed Delahanty talk PLUS the segue about him being from Cleveland.

how do y’all rank Cole as a pitcher to watch tonight, purely on aesthetic value?
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:51
Fine, but he has a high bar. And it's more exciting, aesthetically, on a close game.
That may be unfair, but aesthetics aren't fair!
Derek
9:52
It was the HR pun stuff. Not that I'm upset about it! Just... You caused that!
Meg Rowley
9:52
Yeah, I feel the same - he was impressive and strikeouts are satisfying but more so in a close game.
which, if you expect the other pitcher to be bad, or even just not Shane Bieber, it's fine. but this was a let down.
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:53
Now this is as bad a start as I've seen from Bieber.

Of Gardner, DJLM, and Gardner, who comes back to the Yankees and what do you think it takes to sign them?

Meg are you done with wednesdays?
Meg Rowley

Chat-wise? Not permanently. Something has just needed to give over the last little bit and that's been it.

*Gardner,  DJLM, and Tanaka I meant

They clear a *lot* of dough I believe

A lot of people have talked about the idea that a bad team sneaking into the playoffs and doing well would make the result less legitimate. Do you think this extends to the Astros? Like, would you feel the Astros making the ALCS is more legitimate of a result than the Blue Jays doing the same?
AvatarDan Szymborski

The Blue Jays played better in 2020. Projections don't count.
