Thanks for hanging out tonight, everyone!
8:07
We love the community of baseball fans that want to hang out here and talk baseball with other folks, and are interested in doing so on a Saturday night, no less.
We also want FG to be around forever, so, allow me to make a quick plug for our membership program. https://www.fangraphs.com/plus/product/fangraphs-membership/
8:08
If you find what we do useful, consider a $20 per year membership. It helps keeps the doors open and makes giving up Saturday nights with our families worth it.
We also have a $50 ad-free membership, which gets you all the content we offer without any advertisements.
8:09
As you probably know, the internet ad model kind of sucks, so being a member is the best thing you can do to keep FanGraphs going.
So if you're hanging out tonight and haven't become a member, feel free to consider it!
Now, let's watch some baseball.

That call is going to be nice for Morton if he keeps getting it.

Got my bottle of wine. Will see if it turns into happy drinking or sad drinking

And Morton's stuff looks lively again.

Just a quick addition to Dave's plug, I'm a member, and I ask for it as a gift at the holidays. If you have a family that loves to give you stuff even if you don't need it, it's a nice way to support the site and not clutter up your place!

I will reiterate the thanks for weekend work tonight. You guys are great. Definitely worth the ad-free membership and beyond!

Charlie Morton sits at 96?!?
Dave Cameron
8:12
Welcome to 2017, where everyone throws 5 mph harder than they used to.
Ron
8:12
what mechanical adjustment did morton make for the increased velocity? I dont remember him throwing this hard with the pirates
Dave Cameron
8:13
He tried to throw harder. That's what he says. He just tried, and it worked.
Stephen Loftus
8:13
You remember correctly Ron. He sat around 92-93 just two years ago

Morton’s face is not the face of a large man

would you try to steal an inning with devanski at the bottom of the yankees order?
Dave Cameron
8:14
I would just trust Devenski because he's good.
That curve was wicked.
Show Hey O'Tawny
8:14
Is Loftus the new guy?
Dave Cameron
8:14
Yes, hi Stephen!
He'll be live blogging with us.
Canyonero Driver

That curve ball should be in a museum

Hi Dave!

Dave, your philosophy with RPs seems to be to trust good track records -- a bit more than guys like Hinch and Maddon have been trusting them.  But in reading your commentary, you seem completely out on Betances right now, is that right?
Dave Cameron
8:15
I'd use him when a few walks can't hurt you, but his command problems are on another level from most guys struggles.
8:16
I don't think you can trust him to throw strikes when you need no baserunners right now.

78 on the first pitch from CC? A change?
8:18
Don't see first pitch non-fastballs too often.
