So you agree with me about trade 5 of you for 1 Dave Cameron then?

Jay Jaffe

11:24

I'm still not sure I have enough kleenex to watch the Mr. Rogers documentary

Dan Szymborski

11:24

Why do you keep trying to trade me?

Fangraph's Lurker

11:25

talk to Dan's cats, they may be willing to trade him and have the authority to do so

Dan Szymborski

11:25

Now, the person I REALLY miss working with regularly is Christina Kahrl

Jordan

11:25

gotta give up something of value for Dave, duh!

I wish Kreutzer was interested in writing here, I think he would be a good add.

Brett W

11:25

Look, it's obvious that Dave, Jeff, Eno, and Carson leaving in short succession will always define the end of an era. But there are an equal number of talented people making this site hum right now.

Dan Szymborski

11:26

I'm weirdly one of the "old statheads" that never worked at BP, so I didn't get to work with her until like 2015 when my previous editor left ESPN

11:27

And we have similar nerdy-historical senses of humor so tend to have a lot of fun.

Jay Jaffe

11:27

Christina's a blast to work with

Dan Szymborski

11:27

Had a fun flight from Hartford-Chicago with her. Switched seats so we could sit together. We made jokes about Star Wars the whole flight.

11:28

Now, working with Meg and Carson is great of course. Don't want to imply that missing working with Christina reflects poorly on anyone else!

I grew up baseball wise with Dave and Jeff in Seattle as local bloggers. Really do miss them

I'm prepared to believe that Charlize Theron drinks the new, fancy budweiser

Bookworm

11:29

If Ben is Jeff's spiritual successor, who is Carson?

Dan Szymborski

11:29

Damien Thorn

3B2K

11:29

I fully agree with Brett W, but OTOH those four added a lot of spice and knowledge.

Section329

11:29

But we still have Meg in Seattle 😊

11:30

Speaking of former FG writers, what ever happened to Wendy Thurm? She still in the biz or did she go back to lawyering?

Dan Szymborski

11:30

I'm not sure what she's up to

Jay Jaffe

11:31

her writing has been non-baseball stuff

Wire Fan

11:31

Is it really only the bottom of the 7th?

Dan Szymborski

11:31

Yeah, after 3 1/2 hours of chatting, it's hard not to drift away from topic

Lunar verLander

11:31

what 'topic'? we're just chattin' here

stever20

11:32

another ball where if this was summer, it's a homer

Section329

11:32

Wendy is on Twitter a lot politically and on the Astros situation

Dan Szymborski

11:32

THe more political-minded tend to not like me because I take very little all that seriously.

Jay Jaffe

11:32

yeah, she's focused on politics and law these days

Adam2

11:32

Rendon did not think that was a home run

James

11:32

Does this game set the record for most full counts?

Dan Szymborski

11:33

I'm wondering how to check easily

Jay Jaffe

11:35

yeah i don't think we have the tools readily available

i wish we had postseason splits

Dan Szymborski

11:36

I haven't found the answer

But I did find that Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is the only hitter to have a hit on a 4-2 count.

Wow, it took 3.5 hours for a cat to join me.

Eel Ffilc

Dan, you seen any AEW Dynamite?

Dan Szymborski

11:37

I have not yet
