Why haven’t the Tigers tried putting Boyd in the pen yet? It seems like such a perfect fit to me.

Dan Szymborski

I think it make sense to exhaust the possibility of a guy starting before you throw him in the bullpen.

I took in a feral cat (number 4, for me) who I thought was 5-6 months old. Turns out he's a year and a half and behaves like the character in the movie "Orphan" and pisses on everything, though he has now been neutered and should endure hormonal changes for the better in the coming weeks (fingers crossed). Is this kind of challenge similar to the one Perry Minasian faces? Easier? Worse?

Dan Szymborski

12:45

Heh, I'm not sure. One of the problems with feral cats can be socialization. They really don't *want* to live inside if they've gone past a certain timeframe.

Generally, the ones that will come in have to want to come in.

Though neutering will likely help.

Fbi you have to eat the hinge. Once the last connection between the top and bottom of the sandwich is severed it becomes a sandwich. At least according to our fearless leader, Dan

Is 'eat the hinge' the weirdest financial advice one could hear or the safest surfing advice?

Matt (Oceanside)

12:48

Dan thanks for the chats by the way! During an off-season like this one, these chats are the only things that keep us sane! That and Zips! Get back to work! :)

Dan Szymborski

Hey, you're getting four this week!

would have been five, but I didn't have power for 24 hours Sunday to Monday

Matt (Oceanside)

12:49

Haha no worries, we appreciate you!

Dan Szymborski

12:49

That's a little suspicious!

There should be a constant struggle between writer and reader!

12:50

I need to start including more non-specific threats in my writing.

Matt (Oceanside)

12:50

@ Mad Joe-Don "eat the hinge" is definitely not the safest surfing advice

Any surprising (ie, big) moves from the dodgers this offseason, or do you expect them to just tinker?

Dan Szymborski

12:50

I don't expect them to blow the market away doing anything this winter. They did sign Betts during the season! And having the WS does make the pressure off.

Matt (Oceanside)

12:50

Fine! Get back to work and give us 6 Zips, you still have a day and a half - Or fangraphs could man up and work weekends too :)
