Garrett Stephenson always fit the "snooty English butlers or harry potter characters" category for me

Dan Szymborski

12:42

Sterling Hitchcock

12:43

Blake Hawksworth, though that sounds also like a soap opera name

tom

"Not if you did a poor job selecting proper beef."...doesn't make sense.

Dan Szymborski

12:44

Err good job

jake

Red sox acquired Kevin Plawecki? Does this matter at all?

Dan Szymborski

12:44

He was their big offseason signing!

And no

trend across the league has been to make outlier stadiums play more neutral. when's a team gonna zag, make a team suited to a wonky park and cheese out a competitive advantage that makes everyone hate them?

Dan Szymborski

12:44

It's really hard to do

12:45

Because the way to optimize offense is pretty clear.

Just like it's hard to win with a really goofy opening against a chess master

12:46

Oh, you play Grob's Attack? Magnus Carlsen cares not and will destroy your world now.

Monica Punta

12:46

WhIch film will/should win Best Picture?

Dan Szymborski

12:46

Haven't seen enough to say really. I don't watch a ton of movies in the current year

zips is much lower on lamet than steamer, why

Dan Szymborski

12:47

Guys, I can answer what ZIPS does, but without knowing the inner workings of Steamer, I can't say why Steamer's opinion is different.

Not to get political but chili and stew are both soups and can usually be interchangeable

What would a return for Ozzie Albies have to look like? Would casuals who don't know his contract particulars be dumbfounded?

Dan Szymborski

12:47

Absolutely massive.

Given the contracts that come with it.

I think you can make an argument that it should take a little more to fetch Albies than Trout.

Matt

12:47

Does it make sense for the Phillies to go all in and send Bohm and other prospects to the Cubs for Bryant? Do the Phillies have enough in their farm system to get him?

Dan Szymborski

12:48

I think it would. And I"M not sure.

TomBruno23

How do we live in a world where there is such a disparity between the Ozuna deal and the Castellanos deal?

Dan Szymborski

12:48

Gimme a Q! Gimme an O! What's the spell! Nothing without a U!

I have an avocado on my desk. Is it worth the time to cut it open and have as a snack?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

Avocados have a bad mouth feel. I don't like them.

Angles Fan

12:49

Mookie and Price to the angels for Upton, Adams and Soriano. Angels pick up Prices whole contract Soxs take Uptons

Dan Szymborski

12:50

Well that's kinda underwhelming

12:51

I'm not sure taking UPton is worth Adams and Soriano for free.

The Astros were fun to watch. The Astros cheated. Ergo, cheating is fun. Mandatory cheating implemented next CBA?

Dan Szymborski

12:52

They should make it into one of those paranoid party games where two people are the murderer and the other people ahve to figure out who the murderers and who the innocent are.

It can be a seasonal tiebreaker

Andrew Yang

Who finna win iowa

Dan Szymborski

12:53

The Iowa Cubs will remain the Triple-A champs of Iowa.

Opinions!

12:53

Parasite is far and away the best of the competitors. Joker is a hugely overrated piece of bunk.

Not uniwatch

12:53

Top 5 favorite MLB logos?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

Brewers glove logo.
