11:57
Dan Szymborski: (A tip I do not take)

11:32
Eno Sarris: 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.

Dave Cameron: 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.

Neil Weinberg FanGraphs Q&A – 10/29/14

2:37
Neil Weinberg: 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
Neil Weinberg: Alright, shall we baseball chat?

Comment From mtsw
Which outfield prevents more runs: 2 Lorenzo Cains or 5 Fangraphs writers?

3:02
Neil Weinberg: 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
Comment From John
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
Neil Weinberg: You can use Team Pitcher W/L record to take care of that.

7:59
Dave Cameron: The season either ends tonight, or we get a winner-take-all Game 7 tomorrow. Drama!

7:59
Dave Cameron: Royals

8:00
Dave Cameron: Jeff Sullivan and I have the action tonight. Let’s get this party started.

8:03
Dave Cameron: 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
Dave Cameron: When it’s win-or-go-home, roles go out the window, I guess.

8:04
Jeff Sullivan: Baseball chat!

Comment From semperty
If you had to choose between starting Jay or Bourjos, who would you choose?

9:02
Jeff Sullivan: I very conveniently platoon them because I am a fan of them both

9:03
Comment From Smooth PumaMoistCooter
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
Jeff Sullivan: There are catchers who are believed to have modest cases of the yips now; they just don’t get press, but their pitchers notice

Dan Szymborski FanGraphs Chat – 10/27/14

11:57
Dan Szymborski: OK Let’s do this. DAAAAAN SZYMBOOOOORSKI!

11:57
Dan Szymborski: At least I have chicken.

11:57
Comment From mtsw
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
Dan Szymborski: In baseball, I can’t think of any. Even Hubbs got a couple seasons in.

11:59
Comment From semperty
Maybe Conigliaro? I know he didn’t pass away, but he was (effectively) removed from the game

11:59
Dan Szymborski: Yeah, but lots of injuries happen.

Predictions for tonight’s game?

7:59
Mike Petriello: At least one manager will do something infuriating and have it work out perfectly against all reason.

Comment From Sgt. Pepper
Did American Ringo Starr get the lyrics wrong?

Mike Petriello: I don’t know! FOX was showing football highlights until 10 seconds ago.
