Galileo Speaks Again

We ate all the food already .. no one here to tell us not to do that.I am not being named put the hedgehog in the toilet on purpose.

Nate

Can I nominate Yankee fans who put names on the back of jerseys as the worst fans? Please?

Eric A Longenhagen

4:40

it is a bad look, isn't it?

Meg Rowley

4:41

the worst part is that a lot of official replica jerseys come with player names... just... what is that?

Dan Szymborski

4:42

yeah, if you have a yankees jersey with a name, fans are legally allowed to strip you bare and set it on fire

bmstretch

4:42

announcers never fail to mention shadows between the mound and home and how it advantages the pitcher. has any research been done on this? I think their argument makes sense, but numbers behind it would be valuable! "Batters have x-points lower OBP with shadows" or something

Dan Szymborski

4:42

i'd kinda be curious about shadow splits

LFC Mike

4:42

Wong HR total over/under ... 320?

Dan Szymborski

4:42

Don't be silly, he's not going to hit more than 150 homers

My wife bought me a replica Judge jersey with the name on the back....that was tough to deal with

mike sixel

4:43

All jerseys should have player name, it's hard for fans, especially new ones, not to have them there. It's like they want to do the things that are worst for marketing....

Eric A Longenhagen

4:43

i reject the premise that marketability uber alles. Like I'll be bummed when sponsorships end up on jerseys.

Dan Szymborski

4:43

my gf wouldn't buy me anything baseball since she doesn't know anything about baseball. She mostly tags along to baseball things as an opportunity to drink

4:45

At the staten island meetup, she came along, and didn't understand a single thing anybody said, so she just knit all weekend and drank about 40 beers

Can we acknowledge how dope it is that the A’s got Jurickson Profar for only a decent prospect and a supplementary draft pick??

Mike

4:45

I wish I had chips and guac and etc. I also wish I could hear the game I'm trying to listen to at work. Is there some rights issue with streaming MLB games on the internet? My boss has an actual radio in his office with the game on and I'm trying to stream the same station and it has something different online.

Dan Szymborski

4:46

don'tthink there's typically an issue with radio

like when you have a blacked out game, mlt tv gives you a radio feed

HappyFunBall

4:46

Replica jersey with names on the back are the worst! Everyone's going to know you're not ACTUALLY on the team!

BASEBALLLLLLL

4:46

Derek

4:46

Dan Szymborski

4:47

Cardinals Fan

4:49

Cain bleeping brought Jose Martinez’s home run back to end the game.

Dan Szymborski

4:49

I just saw tales of a bourbon slushie here at the park, I need to go find it

Scott

4:51

How old is the average FG reader/commenter? I'm 43.

Dan Szymborski

4:51

I always assume about 30? I don't know if we've ever done any study of demographic information

Billy Beane

4:51

For a second, I thought Dan left a hedgehog free-roaming in a house full of cats and was very concerned for the hedgehog's well-being. Then I remembered the hedgehog is a toy and then was concerned about my own well-being. why do I know this much about the toys of a baseball writer's cats?

Sonny

4:52

Fun fact, Paul Goldschmidt is only 2nd on the all-time bWAR leaderboard for players born in Delaware, behind Wilmington's own Sadie McMahon by .5 WAR

Dan Szymborski

4:53

Josh Bell just got Bucknered

Dan

4:53

Kiermaier's Piercing Green Eyes

4:56

You know that scene from IASIP where Charlie has this insane conspiracy theory on his walls? That's what I feel like with four screens in front of me trying to show my partner how Blake Snell got screwed on a missed third strike.

Dan Szymborski

4:56

Rockies signed Pepe Silvia.

Eric A Longenhagen

4:57

LOL at Michael Brantley's hands. Just dropped the bat head and turned on 93 in on the black, lifted it 10 rows deep.
