We start rolling them out in November.

OddBall Herrera

12:11

Miguel Sano goes into the offseason swearing he's going to focus and come back dedicated and with better conditioning....then only a week into it he hits a cop with his car outside a nightclub *eyeroll*

Dan Szymborski

12:11

Well, these are probably independent. My conditioning is rather poor and I've never hit a cop with a car that I'm aware of.

Outta my way, Gyorkass

12:11

When your back is against the wall, and you're down 2 in an elimination game, what better way to deal with it than allowing a run scoring balk & passed ball, then giving up bombs to two well below average hitters in baseball? Woof. How will, and how should, the Rockies pursue this offseason?

Dan Szymborski

12:12

The Rockies should react this offseason with a major overhaul of the secondary position players on the team.

They won't, though. They'll paper over the problems and hope the team's strengths will be just good enough so the normals don't notice their malpractice.

12:12

no question, I just love Roñald Acuña Juñior

Outta my way, Gyorkass

12:12

Will we ever see Jimmy Nelson throw another pitch in the majors?

Dan Szymborski

12:12

Yes

Mario

12:12

Did Acuna far outplay his projections or is this what was expected of him?

Dan Szymborski

12:13

He outplayed his mean projection, sure, but it's not an outcome that should be considered shocking by any means for such a talented young player.

Bacon Foundation against Slander

12:13

We have slab bacon, canadian bacon,Pancetta bacon, fatback, smoked bacon. All delicious. We don't think of Turkey bacon as bacon...it freaking Turkey for God's sake! I will let the Turkey Foundation make their ridicluous argument.

Mike

12:13

Does Fangraphs have a stat or writeup on what players had the most incorrectly called strikes go against them? Being a Cubs fan, I seemed to see this happen a lot with Kyle Schwarber, but I wonder where he might stand in relation to other players. I have to wonder how this affected his at-bats throughout the season, knowing that pitch just off the outside corner could potentially be called a strike against against him.

Dan Szymborski

12:13

I don't believe FG does.

Gil

12:13

What's next for the Rockies?

Dan Szymborski

12:13

10/9/18, starting tomorrow.

NYTT

12:13

Ryan Flaherty got a postseason at bat in 2018... so yeah

Sir Nerdlington

12:13

Why does a right handed batter hitting the ball to right field hit it to the opposite field?

Dan Szymborski

12:14

"Would right guard fail to deodorize a lefty?"

"Speaking of which, why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?"

Matt

12:14

Who is the better pure hitter in their careers, Soto or Vlad Jr.?

Dan Szymborski

12:15

I think probably Vlad

NYTT

12:15

Watching the Braves throw out Newcomb, Gausman, Fried, Touki was fun although they weren't shutdown performances. wait, was it fun because I'm a braves fan or fun in general?

Dan Szymborski

12:15

It's fun.

I was rooting for the Braves this postseason.

Dbo

12:15

The Brewers have gone 24-5 since the beginning of September, what in the name of Nic Cage happened?

Dan Szymborski

12:15

On 24 of 29 occasions, the Brewers score more runs than the opponent did in games during which both teams played!

LFC Mike

12:15

The Braves are ahead of schedule with this great year. As GM for them...what would you do to make the 2019 Braves even better?

Dan Szymborski

12:15

Can I just sign Bryce Harper or something?

12:16

Stay the course and always keep an open mind on players

Charley Kelly

12:16

I know a lot about the law, and various other lawyerings.

Dan Szymborski

12:16

The state of bird law in this country is a disgrace

Guest

12:16

Do you think there’s any chance Friedman, Kapler, and others actually get banned from baseball? Re: Ms. Ring’s article

Dan Szymborski

12:16

I suspect no, but it'll be interesting to see all the way through.

Turgid

12:16

Have you ever eaten something so spicy that you felt it all the way through?

Dan Szymborski

12:17

Chile relleno made with a ghost pepper.

All Cats Are Beautiful

12:17

Which team is the most goodest?

Dan Szymborski

12:17

The Royals of course.
