Paul Swydan: Hi everybody!
9:01
Mike: The single-season record for pitcher appearances is Mike Marshall with 106. That’s pretty impressive, but do you think Carl Edwards Jr. will break it in August or in September next year?
9:02
Paul Swydan: I don’t think that Toothpick Edwards’ appendages will stay together for that many appearances in such a short timespan.

Dave Cameron: Happy Wednesday, everyone.
12:00
Dave Cameron: Probably a bit less happy if you’re a Cubs fan.
12:01
Dave Cameron: Obviously, the playoffs are the thing happening in baseball right now, but if you’ve got off-season questions, we can talk about that stuff too.
12:01
Eric: Can the Yankees finally conquer Keuchel?  Who do you think wins the series at this point?
12:02
Dave Cameron: I’d bet on this going seven, so I’m expecting them to beat either Verlander or Keuchel, or the Astros pen in one of those two games.
12:02
Dave Cameron: At this point, I think it’s probably a coin flip to who wins.

Travis Sawchik: Let’s get started
12:06
AJ Preller: With increase demand in long receiver especially in PS games, will I be able to sell Hand for a similar package I received for Kimbrel?
12:07
Travis Sawchik: No. But Hand should fetch a nice return
12:07
Padre fan: How many more years do I have to sit in the couch and hope that dodgers lose the POs until my team actually makes their way to the POs?

Matt Wieters Continues to Be Cursed

by
October 13, 2017

Baseball can be really weird, but the game has rarely facilitated action more unusual than the sort that occurred in the fifth inning of Game 5 on Thursday night between the Nationals and Cubs.

The inning in question produced a series of four events that had never happened consecutively in the game’s recorded history, covering some 2.3 million half-innings.

Craig Edwards dove into a potentially overlooked batter-interference call that would have stopped the Nationals’ hemorrhaging in the inning, held the deficit at one, and perhaps have allowed the team to keep playing this October.

Jeff Sullivan: Welcome to Friday baseball chat

Jeff Sullivan: Technically my second Friday baseball chat of this Friday, for you east coasters
9:05
Bork: Hello, friend!
9:05
Jeff Sullivan: Hello friend
9:06
Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe: Jeff, thanks for chatting last night and being back again now. It was a really tough loss for Washington, but, as in every elimination game, it isn’t one play that ends a season. That said, I think there are multiple issues surrounding instant replay that the league will have to address after last night’s game. Is baseball still a game of inches? Or, with instant replay, is it now a game of millimeters?

Eno Sarris: This song, this video. It’s like reggae plus funk, it sounds like Grateful Dead’s Emancipated Prophet, her voice is amazing, and the pictures haunting…

12:00
Eno Sarris: ESTIMATED Prophet. nice.
12:00
OC: Who’s your pick for tonight?
12:01
Eno Sarris: Should be the Cubs based on talent of the starter but there’s something I like about using both Gio and Tanner, and I’m into new teams so Nats I guess.
12:02
Dylan: 16 Ks in 20 ABs has to be a record right? Not just playoffs, but ever
12:02
