: Hey everyone
|
| 2:01 |
: Welcome to the Game 2 live blog of the Astros/Red Sox series
|
| 2:01 |
: Dan Szymborski will be joining me for this one.
|
| 2:05 |
: That commercial made it sound like that lady told Frank Thomas that she wished her husband would use eugenics.
|
| 2:05 |
: I feel like they didn’t test out the name of their silly pill very well.
|
| 2:05 |
: Which team most needs to win game 2: the Red Sox or the Yankees?
|
| 9:04 |
: Hello friends
|
| 9:04 |
: Welcome to Friday baseball chat
|
| 9:05 |
: Which I…think…is going to be followed by Dave live-blogging the early game? Find out!
|
| 9:05 |
: What the hell happened to the Yankees last night?
|
| 9:06 |
: They lost!
|
| 9:06 |
: When you’re going up against part of the best pitching staff in at least modern baseball history, you’re probably going to look like you’re taking bad at-bats
|
| 3:58 |
: Hi everyone!
|
| 3:58 |
: I have never heard of Clay Walker.
|
| 3:59 |
: we cant watch the game?
|
| 4:00 |
: Sorry if you can’t watch the game. Hopefully everyone can find a way, through legals means or otherwise.

: Welcome to the NL Wild Card live blog.
|
| 8:02 |
: great to be back in playoff chat season
|
| 8:02 |
: Indeed. These are fun.
|
| 8:03 |
: I will warn you that my two year old is still here, so I might be slightly slow for the next few minutes.
|
| 8:03 |
: He doesn’t know the words “live blog” yet
|
| 8:03 |
: It’s been six years. This feels amazing. I think I might pee myself.
|
| 12:05 |
: Happy Wild Card Wednesday, everyone.
|
| 12:07 |
: The playoffs have begun, and I just published some thoughts on the Yankees power display last night (http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-yankees-are-overwhelmingly-powerful…), so obviously we’ll talk about the postseason plenty today.
|
| 12:08 |
: But I’m sure there are plenty of questions about what’s going on in Atlanta, and other off-season issues, so we’ll grab some of those too.
|
| 12:08 |
: Also, I’m running the live blog for the NL Wild Card game tonight, so you’ll get an overwhelming dose of me chatting today.
|
| 12:09 |
: What kind of penalties are you expecting the braves to be handed? Do you expect them to lose prospects like the Red Sox did?
|
| 12:10 |
: SInce we don’t have the information, it’s impossible to know, but it’s not that hard to note that no one in Boston got fired or resigned, and A.J. Preller was just suspended by MLB when he was with Texas and was accused of doing some shady stuff on the international scene. If Coppolella was forced to resign over the accusations, it seems like whatever he got caught doing was probably more blatant than what BOS or TEX did, so yeah, I’d expect some significant penalties for the Braves are still to come.

: Hello friends
|
| 5:00 |
: Welcome to 2017 AL Wild Card Live Blog
|
| 5:02 |
: [Jeff’s supporting actor enters]
|
| 5:02 |
: Howdy, folks
|
| 5:02 |
: One year ago in this game, the Orioles lost to the Blue Jays by using Ubaldo Jimenez
|
| 5:03 |
: Welcome, Travis, to your first FanGraphs playoff blog! It’s overwhelming!
|
| 12:03 |
: Hey everyone, we’ll start momentarily. Just tweeting a link…
|
| 12:03 |
: Okay, happy postseason to all. Let’s chat.
|
| 12:04 |
: I’m a Braves fan nervous about everything right now. Should I be?
|
| 12:05 |
: Depends what ‘everything’ is. They can’t take away the entire farm system, which is quite good, and frankly, people in other front offices don’t think Atlanta has lost a whole hell of a lot here. But it is ugly and this won’t be fun for anyone involved.
|
| 12:06 |
: Do you foresee you job as it relates to getting info on J2 guys presigning as about to get much more difficult?
|
| 12:07 |
: If teams are still agreeing to deals well before they’re technically allowed to (which they are) then no.
|
| 12:05 |
: Howdy, folks
|
| 12:05 |
: Let’s get started …
|
| 12:05 |
: Am I crazy to think that the DBacks have a good shot at winning the NL pennant?
|
| 12:06 |
: You’re not! One of the game’s better pitching staffs and JD Martinez and Paul Goldschmidt can carry teams
|
| 12:06 |
: 2017 Astros are all time leaders in RE24 since World War 2. Just thought that was cool.
|
| 12:07 |
: Oh? That is pretty cool. Some great teams in this post season. Indians just posted best pitching staff WAR of all time
|
| 9:07 |
: Hello friends
|
| 9:08 |
: Welcome to Friday baseball chat
|
| 9:08 |
: Sorry for that extra long delay — had some problems recording the podcast
|
| 9:08 |
: Hello, friend!
|
| 9:09 |
: Hello friend
|
| 9:09 |
: The Tigers announced that Andrew Romine will play all nine positions on Sunday. Can we please do this with Andrelton Simmons, too? Watching him pitch and run down fly balls in center would be a hoot.
|
| 1:01 |
: dedicated to the Twins and Rockies. Team entropy may have lost out, but it’s kinda cool to have these two teams in the postseason
|
| 12:01 |
: yello
|
| 12:02 |
: Twins are in the postseason. What does this mean moving forward? Should we expect them to be in “Win Now” mode for the next few seasons?
|
| 12:03 |
: I bet they run it like Cleveland with Derek Falvey in there. hope to have the young guys do it with a slow ramp up of free agent signings. Doubt they trade anything under control for a win now piece.
|
| 12:03 |
: SP Castillo at $2 or Francisco Mejia at $4 as my last keeper?
|
| 12:03 |
: Castillo. Mejia could be very good and still not be great for fantasy.
