I think TOOTBLAN4 was supposed to be TOOTBLAN? It’s thrown out on the bases like a nincompoop

Craig Edwards

6:51

Welcome to the Chat. 4 was intentional.

here is that matchup again.

Uncle Jimbo

6:51

Uh oh. Harper again.

Craig Edwards

6:52

Edwards wins the rematch with a strikeout.

i'm talking about the at bat, not this chat.

Jucky Bacobson

6:52

Two fun ballgames so far. A lot of interesting baseball.

6:53

Boyo. Hope someone is talking about Edwards Jr. getting a moment of revenge there. I get that a reliever is expected to get outs, but he has done well here.

Craig Edwards

6:53

He's a good reliever, and Maddon was right to go back to him here.

6:55

Kind of hoping the game goes extras just to see who gets sent out there.

SignedEpsteinsMother

6:55

Ha! I've never seen you and Edwards Jr. in the same room either....

Uncle Jimbo

6:55

Maddon likes Edwards. He used Edwards in tough spots when Edwards was a rookie last year and stuck with Edwards when he struggled this year. Maddon will not give up on him now, especially with no options anyway.

Matt

6:55

A-Rod just compared Greg Bird to...Fred Couples?

Craig Edwards

6:55

is that baseball?

Jucky Bacobson

6:56

Austin Barnes should be catching at least 50% of the time. Hi, I came for the Dodgers game.

Craig Edwards

6:56

so noted.

Matt

6:56

Golf, my man. Golf.

Craig Edwards

6:57

really missed a good reference oppo there.

Uncle Jimbo

6:57

I think Davis for two innings then Montgomery.

Craig Edwards

6:58

could be. I wonder if he'll go two innings with davis.

6:58

I don't have the nerves for this game.

Craig Edwards

6:58

sure you do.

Jucky Bacobson

6:59

Heh. La Stella wasn't sure it was actually a walk.. That was funny

Craig Edwards

6:59

yeah, that was a bit odd.

FlyingNimbus

6:59

Oh please don't bunt

Craig Edwards

7:00

narrator: he bunted

Show Hey O'Tawny

7:00

Was bunting there smart? Methinks not

Craig Edwards

7:00

bunting is bad.

you've got what a 25-30% chance of 1st and 3rd with no out?

7:01

win expectancy just went down by like 2%

In the baseball environment we are in, TLS would start on more then a handful of teams and slash 300/370/500

Craig Edwards

7:02

not sure i agree with that one.

Matt

7:02

Lastella also wasn't sure whether he wanted to get paid a bunch of money to play a game last year. So his judgement is lacking.

Craig Edwards

7:02

judgment

Travis Sawchik

7:02

Howdy, folks

El Duderudo

7:02

what's the success rate for a sac bunt like that? it's easy to assume that it should happen, that failing it is unexpected, but bunting is hard.

Craig Edwards

7:02

bunting, like keeping it real, often goes wrong.

Travis Sawchik

7:03

I'm supposed to be observing NYY-CLE ... but this Cubs-Nats game is fun. Need multiple devices

Craig Edwards

7:03

and even the unsuccessful ones that turn to 2 strikes and swinging away provides hitters with a disadvantage.

hello Travis.
