What's the going rate for craft beer at those parks?

Eno Sarris

Uncle Jimbo

What are the chances that a ball hit that hard at that angle is not a hit?

Ryan Pollack

10:07

Will monitor Daren Willman's feed on twitter for ya

Eno Sarris

10:07

Yeah but it wasn't 350 or 200. it was 300, which is where outs are.

How do you get that StatCast info? Is it on BaseballSavant?

Ryan Pollack

10:08

Daren Willman (who runs baseball savant, works for MLB now) sometimes tweets out % chance of a hit on plays like that

But yes, you could use the site itself to download all the pitch data and make your own calculations

Eno Sarris

10:08

yah they even have in game applet here https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/gamefeed

10:09

with xBA for each ball based on velocity, angle

That Montero ball had a .421 xBA, so you were more right than me!

5 Run Homer

10:09

Carl Edwards Jr is formerly known as CJ Edwards, right?

Eno Sarris

10:09

Yes.

Dock Ellis

10:10

So my car got towed because my new place didn't tell me I needed a parking pass. Therefor I missed the first five innings. Can you tell me what's been going on in haiku form?

Jsolid

10:10

I will always think of him as Carl's Jr, and get hungry.

Eno Sarris

Ryan Pollack

5 Run Homer

10:13

I ?? Curveballs

Youppi!

Both starters quite good / big double play in the fifth / hottest Cub: Bryant

starfish

It is a tight game. Lead off hits did not yield runs. Late drama to come

Paul G.

10:14

Game three at Wrigley
Both starters go less than five
Yet there are no runs

Doug

10:14

Eno, is CJ's fastball one of the best in baseball? 17% whiffs, 58% grounders.

Eno Sarris

10:14

Second best spin rate. Yes.

Miguel Sano

10:16

Starters pulled in fifth/ lindor hits a double play / it is miller time

Paul G.

10:16

Furious Onanist

10:16

That link is bigger than Joe West

Ryan Pollack

10:17

Me, no. Been to Wrigley just once and sat under the upper deck on the 1st base side

Kershaw was pitching though so that was fun
