: Hello friends
|
| 9:01 |
: Welcome to Friday baseball chat, hosted in Mapleton, Utah
|
| 9:01 |
: This time around I only have about an hour before we get back on the road so we should probably get started post-haste
|
| 9:02 |
: So which one of you is the car farter?
|
| 9:02 |
: the dog
|
| 9:02 |
: I love lineups the day after a team clinches. Who knew that Munenori Kawasaki was even a thing?
|
| 12:19 |
: I’m a sucker for a voice like this
|
| 12:01 |
: Is Rob Zastryny going to have a starting job next season?
|
| 12:01 |
: No! Change no good, lefty cutter/curve 90mph guys are named Drew Smyly and….
|
| 12:01 |
: Any chance we see Otani next season?
|
| 12:02 |
: Too early.
|
| 12:02 |
: Next year Josh Bell is going to hit like…
|
| 12:02 |
: Happy Wednesday, everyone. I’m coming to you live from Golden, Colorado, where it’s about 50 degrees cooler than North Carolina was when I left it on Sunday.
|
| 12:02 |
: And no, I don’t have a Coors in front of me. Or near me.
|
| 12:02 |
: We’re going to do some baseball chatting for the next hour. I might take a break or two to yell at Sullivan and tell him to start writing.
|
| 12:03 |
: (He’s been “making breakfast” for like 20 minutes)
|
| 12:03 |
: What award are you voting for this year?
|
| 12:03 |
: I have an NL Cy Young vote this year.
|
| 9:08 |
: Sorry!
|
| 9:08 |
: Let’s get started.
|
| 9:08 |
: I’ll stay late.
|
| 9:08 |
: Do the Red Sox have enough pitching to do well in the postseason if they make it? Price-Porcello-Pomeranz-Rodriguez doesn’t sound bad at all.
|
| 9:10 |
: I think it’s competitive, but nights like tonight give me pause.
|
| 9:10 |
: Despite adding Kimbrel and Carson Smith last offseason, will Dave Dombrowski target more bullpen arms in trades this offseason?
|
| 12:08 |
: My apologies for the delay. Had some technical difficulties this morning and fell behind on my post-writing. Will start this thing up ASAP, hopefully about 10 minutes or so!
|
| 12:20 |
: ok!
|
| 12:20 |
: let us chat1
|
| 12:20 |
: Hello, friend! YOU’RE LATE
|
| 12:20 |
: Hi, Bork!
|
| 12:20 |
: Sorry for making you wiat.
|
| 11:56 |
: Gravy fries!
|
| 11:57 |
: Not eating any, just felt like saying it.
|
| 11:57 |
: For those that don’t remember, I’m saving off-topic Qs for the Lightning Round.
|
| 11:57 |
: DOOM AND GLOOM; DOOM AND GLOOM; etc.
|
| 11:57 |
: The Cubs may set the BABIP-suppression record while shifting the least among everyone in the league. What’s going on there? Would they have an even better defense if they shifted more, or have they discovered a flaw in shifting that the rest of the league and all the analysts haven’t found yet?
|
| 11:58 |
: I think that the hoopla around shifting is a little overheated. It’s good, but it’s not a game-changer type of thing generally.
|
| 9:08 |
: Hello friends
|
| 9:08 |
: Let’s baseball chat
|
| 9:08 |
: Hello, friend!
|
| 9:08 |
: Hello friend
|
| 9:09 |
: The Mets, amirite?
|
| 9:09 |
: Nothing like a series against the Reds to perk up the energy
|
| 9:58 |
: From Toronto! Here’s a song dedicated to a certain A’s callup.
|
| 12:00 |
: hey it’s going to be 90s hip hop day
|
| 12:00 |
: does canada consider you a terrorist now or something?
|
| 12:01 |
: no, just didn’t know if I needed a visa to “talk” at a “venue” about “baseball”. Sure, German dude, sure.
|
| 12:01 |
: Wait, there are chats on this site?
|
| 12:01 |
: no, just a bunch of people getting strange.
|
| 12:01 |
: Happy Wednesday, everyone. This is my last chat from North Carolina, as I’m starting the cross-country drive on the move to Oregon on Sunday. We’ll still talk baseball, of course, but if you want to get in any last minute questions about Winston-Salem, this is your shot.
|
| 12:01 |
: I think I’ll be chatting from Denver next Wednesday, so maybe next week we’ll talk weed and franchises without a plan.
|
| 12:02 |
: Is the AL East the most intriguing division in baseball down the stretch?
|
| 12:02 |
: Probably, yeah, though I think both wild cards could come from that division, so all three teams in the division race may end up in the postseason.
|
| 12:03 |
: Which active players if any have in your mind already certified their places as no-research-necessary first-ballot Hall of Famers?
|
| 12:05 |
: Pujols, Miggy, Ichiro, Beltre, Ortiz, Kershaw. I think I’d vote for Beltran too, but he requires at least a little thought.
|
| 9:02 |
: Hi everybody!
|
| 9:02 |
: Jeff may be late, but we’ll get started.
|
| 9:03 |
: Trying out my Gamechanger priority list. It has me on STL-PIT right now, I assume because the LI > 2.
|
| 9:03 |
: Bottom of the ninth, down one, you can send up one batter to lead off: Trea Turner or Billy Hamilton?
|
| 9:04 |
: Turner, easily. I want the guy who has the higher chance of getting to first base. I’ll worry about the rest after.
|
| 9:04 |
: Does Dan Szymborski no longer do chats for Fangraphs?
