Joe Ross too, and htat's a far bigger hit than Mike Leake because the Nats are light on pitching

Isolated Thinker

Are SB/speed guys now less likely to be in starting lineups just in case there are extra innings? Weighing that benefit against the benefit of having them in the lineup is another possible layer of strategy.

Eh, it's really marginal. It requires a team where you have two players with almost exactly identical talent but who get there in different ways

So maybe, if you have Billy Hamilton and Hilly Bamilton, who is a tall guy (hilly) who hits a lot of dingers (bam)

But with the same WAR/PA projection

You play Hilly more and use Billy as a sub

But it's narrow

Don

Which comes first: female pres baseball ops or female president?

Ben Clemens

3:32

assuming president of the US, I'll say president

Robert

Do you have any Fringe Five-type guys that you are thinking about?

Ben Clemens

3:33

I was working on a potential series in the general style of Fringe Five

Only, with more talking to Eric so I can learn things from him

And less trying to pick good players

3:34

COVID threw a wrench in all of that

but maybe next year?

It's weird to try to figure this out with no minor league stats or season

Alright on that note I want to go get some lunch before today's staff meeting (we have to plan baseball coverage! which is exciting!), so I'm going to call it a chat

3:35

Stay safe, be well, and wear a mask because you're a decent human being.

Also as Derek said, don't assume you're invincible with the mask on.

But still, wear it!

Have a great day everyone.
