: Baseball writer finds one crazy old tip for weight loss!
|
| 11:57 |
: Consume less food energy than you burn.
|
| 11:57 |
: (A tip I do not take)
|
| 11:58 |
: G’noon gang, let’s get this party started.
|
| 11:58 |
What is the answer to the question you think a cubs fan might be the most likely to ask? |
| 11:58 |
: Yes.
|
| 11:32 |
: I’ll be here at the top of the hour, whatever hour that may be for you. In the meantime — I love Weezer, but this new Sleater-Kinney is better in my humble opinion.
|

baseball. |
| 12:02 |
I wish it was baseball season. |
| 12:02 |
Which of these two WS teams is more likely to be back next year? |
| 12:02 |
: I’ll say neither!
|
| 7:56 |
: Baseball season ends in roughly four hours. Or five hours, if there are as many pitching changes as I expect. Let’s make this last game good.
|
| 8:02 |
: Royals
|
| 8:02 |
: Inning 1-3
|
| 8:03 |
: 1-9
|
| 8:03 |
Who else will be chatting? |
| 8:03 |
: It’s Jeff and I again.
|
| 2:37 |
: Hey all, we’ll get started at 3pm. Remember this chat has a stat/sabermetrics/FG data focus, but anything is fair game. And I’m @NeilWeinberg44 on Twitter if you’re looking for some info during other parts of the week. Queue is open!
|
| 3:01 |
: Alright, shall we baseball chat?
|
| 3:01 |
Which outfield prevents more runs: 2 Lorenzo Cains or 5 Fangraphs writers? |
| 3:02 |
: I would think 2 Cains, but I guess I don’t know for sure the talent distribution of the staff. I would put my confidence at 95%.
|
| 3:03 |
Could you all ever add standings to team stat pages? It would make it a lot easier to test the effect of different variables on W/L records. |
| 3:03 |
: You can use Team Pitcher W/L record to take care of that.
|
| 7:59 |
: The season either ends tonight, or we get a winner-take-all Game 7 tomorrow. Drama!
|
| 7:59 |
: Royals
|
| 8:00 |
: Jeff Sullivan and I have the action tonight. Let’s get this party started.
|
| 8:03 |
: Interesting to see all the notes that both managers are planning on early hooks for their starters. Buster Olney says Herrera could come in as early as the 3rd inning, while Bumgarner’s availability tomorrow means Petit pitches again today.
|
| 8:03 |
: When it’s win-or-go-home, roles go out the window, I guess.
|
| 8:04 |
: Baseball chat!
|
| 9:02 |
: Hello friends
|
| 9:02 |
: Welcome to World Series baseball chat
|
| 9:02 |
If you had to choose between starting Jay or Bourjos, who would you choose? |
| 9:02 |
: I very conveniently platoon them because I am a fan of them both
|
| 9:03 |
Just watched a 30 for 30 on that guy MasseySasser- have you seen his story? dude couldnt throw the ball back to the pitcher. it was nuts |
| 9:03 |
: There are catchers who are believed to have modest cases of the yips now; they just don’t get press, but their pitchers notice
|
| 11:57 |
: OK Let’s do this. DAAAAAN SZYMBOOOOORSKI!
|
| 11:57 |
: At least I have chicken.
|
| 11:57 |
Are there any historical analogues to a prospect of Tavares’s potential tragically passing away so young? The only thing that comes to mind is Len Bias (wrong sport though, obviously). |
| 11:58 |
: In baseball, I can’t think of any. Even Hubbs got a couple seasons in.
|
| 11:59 |
Maybe Conigliaro? I know he didn’t pass away, but he was (effectively) removed from the game |
| 11:59 |
: Yeah, but lots of injuries happen.
|
| 7:58 |
: More baseball. Let’s baseball.
|
| 7:59 |
Predictions for tonight’s game? |
| 7:59 |
: At least one manager will do something infuriating and have it work out perfectly against all reason.
|
| 8:00 |
Did American Ringo Starr get the lyrics wrong? |
| 8:00 |
: I don’t know! FOX was showing football highlights until 10 seconds ago.
|
| 8:01 |
Bumgarner O/U for runs allowed tonight? |
| 12:08 |
: So I spent four days watching July 2 guys and now I’m in Jupiter watching the huge high school prospect tournament. Got a break between games and some WiFi courtesy of Perfect Game, so bring the questions, people.
|

Hi Kiley, thanks for the chat. |
| 12:09 |
: You forgot to say you’ll hang up and listen
|
| 12:09 |
Provide content already! |
| 12:10 |
: Gimme a minute!
|
| 12:10 |
Hello, and thanks for the Friday chat! Who is your favorite hitting prospect and your favoirte pitching prospect? |
| 11:58 |
: Guess we’re going to do this in real time!

dammint eno, i have been working so much this past few weeks i cant enjoy your chats! i just wanted to say hi before i have to go back to work… and do these chats continue after the WS? |
| 12:01 |
: I’ll do some chatting! From the winter meetings, and regularly on Thursday, as long as people show up.
|
| 12:02 |
Good, I hate fake time. |
