When you start liking the smell of cat urine, then you have crossed an important threshold on the way to becoming a crazy cat person.

Dan Szymborski

I like the smell of cat urine?

If you put fish on a taco, it becomes a fish taco

Dan Szymborski

12:51

It's just a taco

How would an ump be able to judge the strike zone for said 100-ft man (assuming he's normal)?

Dan Szymborski

12:52

Inaccurately and full of entitlement. Which they normally do anyway

O's Nos that's called a slinger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slinger_(dish)

Dan Szymborski

12:52

Wow, the picture is very unappetizing

12:53

Wikipedia couldn't find a sexier free-rights picture?

A 1 foot batter also could not swing a regulation bat most likely, so you would only need to hit the proper zone

Dan Szymborski

12:53

That's a damn small proper zone

"Larping"? I keep forgetting that all you Fangraphs chatters are much younger than I am.

Dan Szymborski

12:53

I'm 40

Though that could be much younger than you

Man, I'm sick of hearing about the "terrible playoff atmosphere" at Fenway. Let people enjoy baseball how they like! The fans are clearly watching the game intently. Is performative fandom really necessary?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

I'm hip to the gnarly youth culture, fellow students.

Every Monday we ask you Q’s and you give us A’s. If roles were reversed, what would you want to ask us?

WHERE DID MY CAT PUT THE DAMN TOY HEDGEHOG

it hasn't shown up for days and she's meowing it.

Shauncore

Hey Dan, you're an all around good guy who hates the Royals just like me. I just want to say hey and hope that you love me as much as I love you.

Dan Szymborski

12:55

Why are you guys bullying Newkirk? It's not a good look.

hscer

12:55

which makes me think maybe that *was* Drew Smyly!

I think that's the first time I've ever seen someone use a player's name in the chat but not pretend to be that player

Who's your favorite Star Trek captain?

Dan Szymborski

Sisko

How have veteran pitchers like Anibal Sanchez and Gio Gonzalez been able to find a renaissance in performance this year? More so mechanics or more about tinkering the deployment of existing arsenal?

Dan Szymborski

12:55

I should note that Gio received Cy Young votes last year

12:56

Sanchez has been good in the past, it's been helpful he's been better at not throwing complete garbagey meat into wheelhouses

Which teams are seriously in on only one of Harper and Machado? besides the yanks (Machado only)

Dan Szymborski

12:57

Too soon to know

Outta my way, Gyorkass

Rate the accuracy of the following:

Jeremy Jeffress is getting tired and badly needs a day off
Brewers' pitcher offense is a significant factor in the NLCS
