I think teams were willing to pay him that much, he just took less to go to the Cubs?

Neil Weinberg

10:23

Maybe.

10:23

Baseball never got it's NFL Blitz or NBA Jam.

Nick Stellini

10:23

MLB Slugfest!

Kevin

How much longer should Kluber be in? One more inning?

Do any of you guys watch Pitch?

Should WS MVP be decided solely by highest cumulative WPA?

Neil Weinberg

10:27

Not in my opinion. WPA isn't a great stat for measuring player value.

10:28

even if you want context dependent stuff

Nick Stellini

What would be the mascot of Coco Crisp cereal?

Neil, your stuff in the fangraphs library is fantastic and probably the most important stuff written on the site. Why is your new stuff in the library NEVER on the front page or in the RSS feed? Serious oversight in information that should be read first and foremost.

Neil Weinberg

10:31

I didn't know that about RSS. We had talked about Library getting its own box, but probably not enough updates to warrant. But thanks!

Bro Charboneau

Anthropomorphic chocolate covered waffle fry that hits only doubles.

Things are looking Grimm for the Cubbies

Neil Weinberg

10:33

NICK

10:34

Kinda weird that the Cubs are going to go down with Rondon, Strop, and Chapman not in the game

Nick Stellini

10:34

Joe Maddon is incredibly overrated as an in-game manager

Bosley for Men

10:37

Why do baseball players bald young? Is it there helmets?

Paul G.

10:37

So who has Take Me Out to the Ballgame duty for this one?

Neil Weinberg

10:37

We need to send this question to Ben and Sam

Vince Vaughn, I think?

Nick Stellini

10:37

Noted Musical Artist Vince Vaughn!

Neil Weinberg

10:38

True story: Only time I've been to wrigley he sang it!

Bro Charboneau

10:38

He's a True Detective!

Nick Stellini

10:38
