It being hold down the Wild Card spot, I presume? Try to have a little optimism!

Jeff Zimmerman

And as a Royals fan, I'm not sure they are smart enough to catch them doing it

Do you guys watch games while chatting? If so, which game are you watching?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:52

I sometimes listen to the radio feed but usually only watch if it is a playoff game chat

Paul Swydan

9:52

Usually, but I couldn't take any more of Todd Walker and the Sox shouldn't be playing tonight anyway, so I'm watching Season 3 of Lost. Which is my favorite season of Lost.

What do you think a peak Bradley Zimmer slash line could look like?

Paul Swydan

9:54

.280/.350/.420 ???

Something like that.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:54

.300/.350/.450 He'll have some BABIP luck once

Garrett

Do you think Cleavland can/will catch Houston. Feel like at this point a wild card team would much rather face Astros than the Indians.

Paul Swydan

9:55

I don't think you want to face either, to be honest, especially if McCullers gets right.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:56

No, I don't think they will.

Paul Swydan

9:56

Agreed.

Michael

9:56

Who are your favorite pitchers to watch? What about hitters?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:58

I like watching Cueto. Stanton for hitting.

Paul Swydan

9:58

One thing that's dropped off for me is having specific favorite players to watch on a nightly basis.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:58

Agree, usually I watch the pitchers I've never seen before

Paul Swydan

9:59

Which is a bit sad. I wish I had a better answer for you!

Zack

Clint Frazier as WC-game sleeper? Would obviously need some AB's the final week, but at the least as a PR?

Paul Swydan

10:00

He's certainly going to loom like a Scott Brosius-like surprise.

Jeff Zimmerman

10:00

WC rosters get more unique every year

Paul Swydan

10:01

But I'd say no, he won't be the player to make the difference this year.

John

10:01

Does stanton have a pretty good shot to hit 500 dingers?

Jeff Zimmerman

10:02

Probably. He just needs to make sure he takes no more pitches to the face

Paul Swydan

10:03

He's definitely got a shot, but he's only gotten to 130 games in 3 of his 8 seasons, so I'll say that he won't.

On that note, I think we're going to call it a night.

Jeff Zimmerman

10:03

Bye

Paul Swydan

Thanks as always, for hanging out. Until next week!
