Pronunciation is one thing. Referring to Aguilar as Aguilera is another...

Dan Szymborski

12:49

I missed that one!

I forget which team it was, but it drove me nuts some years ago when Anibal Sanchez was in the playoffs and they were calling him Annabelle

CamdenWarehouse

12:49

which is worse: using the middle urinal when you're the only one in the restroom or using it when on of the others is occupied but the one end is not?

Dan Szymborski

12:50

I admit, I don't like going to the bathroom in public if I can avoid it.

Luckily, press box bathrooms tend to be the general office bathrooms and they're usually in really good condition

There was an idea floated (I think by Len Kasper, but I may be wrong) of changing the rules so that a reliever has to face a minimum of three batters. In your opinion would that improve or worsen the game as a whole? Would you be in favor?

Dan Szymborski

12:50

I'd like roster rules over in-game rules, if possible.

The Old Buccaneer

12:50

Did you watch Jodie Whittaker’s first turn as Doctor Who? I thought she did an excellent job and am looking forward to her run as the 13th Doctor.

Dan Szymborski

12:50

I have not seen. I'm a Doctor Who casual.

Lou

12:51

What kind of contract does Ryu get?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

Major-League.

Andrew

12:51

If Folty gets in trouble in the 2nd or 3rd today, should Snitker bring in Teheran to try and hold things where they're at (and provide some stability, as the bullpen's obviously been shaky), or save him for a potential Game 5 start?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

I rather have Sanchez start - you get an extra day of rest between.

I'd use Teheran only if you really need the innings

Bathroom Stall Foundation

12:51

What about bathroom stall usage. Do you peek to find a stall that is unoccupied on both sides if possible?

Dan Szymborski

12:52

I prefer stalls.

I don't like feeling I'm stressed for time when I have to go to the bathroom

Billy Beane

12:52

Unless this fellow is taken to mean that a grilled cheese is better with bacon ON THE SIDE, than a bacon melt, he is confused as a grilled cheese with bacon on it is a melt.

Guest

12:52

sup, Dan? Around 6-7? Chicken or fish?

Dan Szymborski

12:52

kung pao chicken I had last night disagreed with me, so I'm probably not eating today.

maybe some yogurt

12:53

I have a tendency to order food way spicier than my digestive system can handle at 40.

Matt

12:53

You know what else prefers stalls, Dan? Horses. Horses prefer stalls.

Dan Szymborski

12:53

I like horses.

Foundation against Foundations

12:53

Just too many Foundations on this chat Dan. Are you on the take from all of them?

Dan Szymborski

12:53

Full-on corrupt!

Pablo

12:53

The Brewers will be one of the final 4 teams vying for the championship, but the playoff odds page lists them as having only a 6.8% chance to win... I know they'll probably be the least talented team left, but that seems like a mighty low number. Is something left out of the current number?

Dan Szymborski

12:53

I don't run those numbers, so I don't really know.

Probably a question for Sean Dolinar.

Matt

12:53

Let me guess the kung pao chicken thought the Royals were an efficiently run operation?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

The kung pao chicken was easier to swallow than KC's arguments for playing Alcides Escobar.

Hurricane Michael

12:54

I wish I could be corrupt. I evidently have nothing to offer any corrupters.

Rick Hahn

12:54

Any realistic chance I go after Machado or Harper? What would it take to get Donaldson?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

I don't think the White Sox would do the ofrmer.

Maybe 2/40 for Donaldson? He may want a longer term deal, but I don't think he gets it

levi goulet

12:54

My buddy has to put his finger on the metal fixture thing on the top of the urinals to make peepee. He calls it completing the circuit.

Ted

12:55

What should my confidence level in Severino be tonight?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

Pretty high. People were too down on him during his rough patch this summer

randplaty

12:57

If you were to start a team with one minor league player and one minor league pitcher, who would they be?
