Selected Games
Washington at New York NL | 18:10 ET
John Lannan versus Dillon Gee is not precisely what one’d call a “dream matchup,” but (a) Bryce Harper is starting, (b) Mets prospect Matt Harvey is following Gee, and (c) if you’re interested in this sort of thing, the second-ranked television broadcast team (per FanGraphs readers) is calling the game.

Boston at Minnesota | 19:10 ET
Red Sox commentators Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy had literally a 15 minute conversation about the equator during yesterday’s broadcast, during which Orsillo definitely asked the question, “Is the equator real?”

You Aren't a FanGraphs Member
It looks like you aren't yet a FanGraphs Member (or aren't logged in). We aren't mad, just disappointed.
We get it. You want to read this article. But before we let you get back to it, we'd like to point out a few of the good reasons why you should become a Member.
1. Ad Free viewing! We won't bug you with this ad, or any other.
2. Unlimited articles! Non-Members only get to read 10 free articles a month. Members never get cut off.
3. Dark mode and Classic mode!
4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn't sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.
9. A weekly mailbag column, exclusively for Members.
10. Help support FanGraphs and our entire staff! Our Members provide us with critical resources to improve the site and deliver new features!
We hope you'll consider a Membership today, for yourself or as a gift! And we realize this has been an awfully long sales pitch, so we've also removed all the other ads in this article. We didn't want to overdo it.

Video: Jeff Lunhow Using Reason
Here’s some footage of new-ish Houston Astros GM Jeff Luhnow making a number of measured, reasonable comments in consecutive fashion.

Crowdsourcing Broadcasters: Washington Radio
Recently, we released the results of our television broadcaster rankings — itself the product of reader crowdsourcing that started in late November. Now, FanGraphs is asking readers to rate the radio broadcast teams for all 30 major-league clubs (Click here for more on this project.)

What, Rakoff didn’t place a lien on Mets games today as well? Will the Repo men attempt to take David Wright in the bottom of the third?
