: Hi everybody!
|
| 9:02 |
: 4th option to the 1st question: no, this is going to be the game that ends with a final score of 15-14 where each team has 30+ hits and takes 5+ hours to play
|
| 9:02 |
: It might be! But tomorrow. Stupid rian.
|
| 12:02 |

|
| 12:02 |
: OKay, let’s do this
|
| 12:03 |
: what’s up with barreto
|
| 12:03 |
: Just a 21-year old struggling with his initial taste of the toughest baseball league on the planet. I don’t think he’s a SS but think he’ll hit enough to play wherever he ends up, which will still likely be an up-the-middle position.
|
| 12:04 |
: Any doyer kids you see in Az on the brink of making an impact soon? Or all youngins

: Any way to guage whether a hitter’s splits or a pitcher’s splits are more important? Thinking of Edwards vs Harper … CJ is better against lefty hitters than any of the actual lefty pitchers in the Cubs pen — but Harper hits righties better. Whose splits matter more?
|
| 1:04 |
: I’d be surprised if Edwards’ splits against lefties was indicative of his true talent level.
|
| 1:04 |
: I LOVE BASEBALL
|
| 1:05 |
: Me too, Brandon!
|
| 12:07 |
: Howdy, folks
|
| 12:08 |
: Some technical difficulties today getting the chat up and going … so the queue is wide open at the moment
|
| 12:10 |
: Its Thanksgiving. Take the day off.
|
| 12:10 |
: This should be a paid holiday …. Four playoff games!
|
| 12:11 |

|

|

: 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?
|

|
| 9:06 |
: 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 |

| 3:58 |

|
| 3:59 |

: 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.
