You know, I love all the Fangraph chats, but I think I appreciate yours the most because It's on a Monday, the most difficult work day.

Dan Szymborski

12:23

So temporal, not content based?

Someone remembered I have the emotes on!

(that someone being me, how has there not been a poop yet?)

Joey Gallo had a very nice second half. Think he figured something out, or just luck driving the improvements?

Dan Szymborski

12:25

ZiPS keeps expecting him to have a BABIP in the .260s, so there likely was a lot of real in there.

Unless ZiPS is just wrong

Realizing you will not have context for this American Vandal-related question, but which major leaguer would most likely be the Turd Burglar?

12:25

Jose Reyes

Do you trust Buehler in Game 3 or Kershaw in Game 5 to have a better outing?

Dan Szymborski

12:25

Still Kershaw

Jeremy Jeffress has also had some really bad batted ball luck. The Machado hit on Friday and the infield dribbler before the Turner homer were perfect pitches. And he’s got epilepsy for crying out loud.

How did you become crazy cat person?

Dan Szymborski

12:25

I'm not sure I have the ratio of cat: sqft to be a crazy cat person.

12:26

I have 3 cats in 3000 square feet

Food Matters

12:26

Dan..as we hit the wonderful fall season and the air has that chill in it..what is your favorite "fall" type food to watch baseball or football games with?

Dan Szymborski

12:26

I don't know if I have a "fall" specific sports food

I like buffalo wings, but that's not really a fall thing?

And tacos are for all seasons

100 foot tall batter has knees maybe 33 feet high? Hard to throw a strike up there.

Dan Szymborski

12:27

Good point

but 33 feet isn't that hard

If Chris Davis was a free agent, would he get a major league deal?

Dan Szymborski

12:27

No

hscer

thank you for not running your way-too-early Phillies projection on Bryce Harper

Dan Szymborski

12:27

Thought it was cheating

Regarding the "foot tall batter" question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Gaedel

Breakfast chili is served over hash browns with an egg on top

Dan Szymborski

12:27

That's just breakfast that has chili on it

that's not breakfast chili

12:28

if I put a mini umbrella in a taco it doens't become a tropical taco. It's just a taco larping as a daquiri

12:29

did anyone blame the game 2 loss on bullpenning, rather than the vice versa stated earlier?

Dan Szymborski

12:29

There's lots of column pages to fill in the postseason on a few games, so I think pretty much every bad argument probably exists somewhere.

Nick Neidert

12:29

Enough pitches to start for Miami assuming health?

Dan Szymborski

12:30

If his curve develops

He's good at pitching as opposed to throwing, so I dont think it has to be amazing

Dbo

12:30

Do we start saying LOLOrioles since they clearly out Mets'ed the Mets this year?

Dan Szymborski

12:31

The Orioles actually seemed to realize the position they were in later in the season

Stevil

12:31

Who's the odd man out in Washington if they're actually able to bring Harper back?

Dan Szymborski

12:31

I think you see Robles as part of a package for a big acquisition if Harper returns
