Did you ever answer my Mountecastle question? His bat has to be ready, right?

Ben Clemens

3:28

I did not but yeah, he should play

Johnny

3:28

Is it ok to ask DFS questions in the chat ?

Ben Clemens

3:28

Sure why not? Can't guarantee my answers won't be gibberish though

Adam

3:28

Free associate: which MLBer most resembles a character from Mario Kart?

Ben Clemens

3:28

Oh boy

3:29

I don't know why I think this but I'm gonna go Trout and Koopa Troopa

You wanted free association, you got it

I guess they are both neckless?

Chris

3:29

How can the blue jays and pirates share a stadium? Schedule wise they'd have to change some things right?

Ben Clemens

3:29

Yeah I have legitimately no idea!

It seems crazy

I don't even know why they're suggesting it

3:30

Pittsburgh is kiiiiiind of near the AL East

But you know what else is? The entire Eastern seabord

seaboard* ew

Adam

3:30

We would also have accepted Joe Musgrove as Waluigi.

Ben Clemens

3:30

Well Dustin May as Waluigi is a gimme

3:31

SOmeone asked a Benintendi-becoming Yelich question earlier on

That I wanted to go back to but don't feel like scrolling up to

But the question was basically, does Benintendi have another gear in him?

And I'm going to say no

Miami-era Yelich and Benintendi look superficially similar

Fast, lot of contact, lot of grounders

But Yelich just hit the ball SO HARD

even then

3:32

Benintendi needs to start hitting the ball harder AND elevate

That's too hard to do, in my opinion

Doctor Parrot

3:32

With no fans, couldn't they just play at different times?

Ben Clemens

3:32

I am not sure TV networks would be into that

And I'm pretty sure that would massively increase the risk of COVID spread

Dave

Hey Ben, rank in # of PAs this season: Sam Hilliard, Garret Hampson, Brendan Rodgers, Ramiel Tapia and Yonathan Daza.

Ben Clemens

3:33

Uh.... Tapia/Hampson/Hilliard/Rodgers/Daza

Low confidence on everyone except Tapia since they apparently named him starting LF

Matt

3:33

The Jays should play at the (old) bridgeport bluefish stadium. CT is doing great on cases and its in the east.

Ben Clemens

3:33

Works for me!

I'd prefer somewhere slightly further south and I don't know the dimensions there but it makes more sense than Pittsburgh

2-D

3:33

Do the Rangers still have an extra stadium sitting around? Not geographically convenient though.

Ben Clemens

3:33

Geographically inconvenient and apparently they've modified its dimensions heavily for some other sports

3:34

To where it'd have sub-300 foot fences
