a good chili is mostly meat and fat and melted onions

Gary Bertier

4:32

Is Darvish becoming un-startable down the stretch?

Brad Johnson

4:32

I don't think so

His peripherals are fine. I'm hoping it's a weird blip

Joey Cora

4:32

Would you give up on Salazar for Buehler?

Brad Johnson

4:33

Ballsy trade

I think I still lean Salazar, but it's only 55/45, could win big betting on Buehler

just remember that he'll be babied for a couple years

4:34

the curse of being a top pitching prospect. If you're not supposed to be somebody and suddenly become good, they'll throw you 200 IP without a second thought

Porcho Villa

4:34

Pick 3 to keep for next year among the following options (assume equal cost): Chirinos, Lamb, I. Happ, Sano, Bauer, Wood, Rodon

Brad Johnson

4:34

Sano, Lamb, ???

Not Chirinos, or Bauer

or Rodon probably

Neil D

Joey Gallo currently day-to-day. Any possible hot-hand adds at 1B for the rest of the match up week in case I decide to pull the trigger on Gallo?

Brad Johnson

4:35

a moment

Matt Olson is the obvious one

4:36

Joe Mauer is OBPing out of his mind

Justin Bour is alive again

CJ Cron

4:37

that's about all I can think of at 1B, might be missing an obvious name

feel like I am

4:37

In H2H playoffs - do you have any maxims to live by these last 3 weeks?

Brad Johnson

4:37

throw Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer as many times as possible

dan

4:37

whats your favorite stack tonight

Brad Johnson

4:37

I haven't dug in yet, will do so after this chat

4:38

I like to wait until lineups are out or else I become anchored to my first impressions

That said, the Indians have a succulent matchup

Bob Villar

4:39

Willie Calhoun is the next Hoskins.

Brad Johnson

4:40

I don't know. Hoskins has Joey Votto's eyes.

I see the statistical similarities for Calhoun, but there's no sign of actual discipline in the numbers. I don't have a scouting report in front of me that mentions him working counts

dan

none of my comments being posted wth is this

Brad Johnson

4:40

I'm 10 minutes behind, relax yourself

4:41

Bob Villar

Your chili sounds awful
