I think they're similar. Cubs probably have more upside based on things going wrong unexpectedly

James

12:47

What is the range of possible results for the 2019 Red Sox?

Dan Szymborski

12:47

They will play between 160 and 163 games of baseball during the regular season and then up to 20 postseason games.

Trevor

12:48

Are you surprised the Yankees are shopping Sonny Gray when their current rotation consists of Severino, Tanaka, and question marks? I can understand trying to deal him later if they're successful in signing, say, Patrick Corbin, but doing so at the moment seems premature.

Dan Szymborski

12:48

Thing is, I don't think they trust Gray at all.

Bork

12:49

Who you got, Bucks or Raptors tonight?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

Raptors

Bro

12:49

No rebuttal? You suck

You suck big time

Dan Szymborski

12:49

These aren't good enough insults to merit one.

12:50

I can't even expend C material on those!

Slurve

12:50

Does the Pearce and Freese Postseason help the older "marginal" players get (better) contracts in any way?

Dan Szymborski

12:50

Morbo

12:50

Georgia Montana (first US president named after a state bonus points for the last name also being a state)

Fox Research

12:50

How much did the forced narratives help you enjoy the otherwise boring game of baseball during this year's postseason?

Dan Szymborski

12:50

I ignore narratives.

12:51

I would've preferred in both PRICE IS A CHOKER!!!!!!11111 and KERSHAW IS A CHOKER!!!!1111oneoneonetwothree narratives had been destroyed.

But at least one was.

My main interest in narratives is seeing them get eviscerated.

Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe

12:51

Well...there's no way that's actually Jeff Todd, and also MLBTR and Fangraphs don't really do the same thing even though there is a bit of shared market.

Dan Szymborski

12:51

And I certainly don't overlap.

12:52

I'm a writer, I hear things and talk with a lot of people. But I'm not into the reporting and rumor game. I'm an analysis/second-tier Photoshop guy.

Andy

12:52

I hope that state is Missouri. 'End the Misery - Vote Missouri'

Dan Szymborski

12:52

I'm still traumatized by overhearing a conversation in which someone was talking about buying something at "Amazin" which in my horror I realized that was how he was pronouncing Amazon

A. S. Maness

12:53

Big fan, Dan. Thanks for a great season!

Dan Szymborski

12:53

Maness is my official twitter archivist

Bork

12:53

Dan 'too good to cut his own grass' Szymborski.

Dan Szymborski

12:53

I do mow my own grass.

But my weeding falls off once the weather gets unbearably hot

Morbo

12:54

Welp, Dan has been murdered and isn't coming back.

Dan Szymborski

12:54

THIS IS DAN'S MURDERER. I WILL CONTINUE TO POSE AS DAN FOR THE REST OF THIS CHAT

hscer

12:54

Landscaping? You don't just have artificial turf?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

I don't want artificial turf unless I can find a modern one that will still injure neighborhood children

CamdenWarehouse

12:54

Dan talks about axe murderers, there's a knock on the door, and the chat goes quiet. Is this a FanGraphs Halloween movie?

nerv

12:55

is eovaldi's arm going to pop open upon signing for large amounts of money

...

12:55

Chatwood was also supposed to be an interesting pitching candidate that didn't suck last year Dan.

Dan Szymborski

12:55

One of his TJ's will stick!

I didn't find Chatwood as interesting last year as I find Eovaldi now

Job

12:56

Do you have a real job too, or just do this shit all day?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

Guys, this is my full-time job and I'm paid quite reasonably for it.
