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 Travis Sawchik

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.

I have never seen a sequence like this… probably because I'm guessing literally no one has ever seen a sequence like this, ever. pic.twitter.com/rlkEteveUk

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.

None of the 2.73m half innings in our db have even had all 4 of these events. 22 w/ 3. Only 5 games had all 4.https://t.co/ntifpJIb6n

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.

9:05	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?

1:05	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

Eno Sarris: It’s certainly a record in my heart.

hscer: what’s up with barreto

12:03

Eric A Longenhagen: 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

Los doyers: Any doyer kids you see in Az on the brink of making an impact soon? Or all youngins

1:02	Paul Swydan: Hi everybody!

1:03	Paul Swydan: Who is going to be eliminated today? Red Sox (16.6% \| 32 votes) Yankees (6.2% \| 12 votes) Diamondbacks (13.5% \| 26 votes) All of them (19.7% \| 38 votes) Two of them (36.9% \| 71 votes) None of them! (6.7% \| 13 votes) Total Votes: 192

1:04	1908wasnextyear: 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	Paul Swydan: I’d be surprised if Edwards’ splits against lefties was indicative of his true talent level.

1:04	Brandon M: I LOVE BASEBALL

1:05	Paul Swydan: Me too, Brandon!
