Any hope Greg Bird can resurrect his career away from NYC?

Dan Szymborski

12:30

If he can say healthy, there's a point.

Gregg

12:30

Important point, Dan: the bond villians' death traps never actually *worked.* The Astros were obviously going for a higher level of effectiveness, and their trash can was just a solution elegant in its simplicity.

Dan Szymborski

12:30

Bond villains were going after James Bond.

Those traps would have caught Rick Bond, actuary.

Is Chili Davis allowed to eat beans without having to change his name?

Dan Szymborski

12:30

As long as he's not made of beans, it's OK

People don't usually grow legumes.

Cube Jockey

12:31

How did the Astros think they would get away with this? Wouldn't they expect someone to spill the beans the second they moved on to a new organization?

Dan Szymborski

12:31

That's almost the disappointing thing.

12:32

I was raised by a family that valued being *smart* above everything else. So thanks to my upbringing, the incompetence at their plan offends my sensibilities more than the morality.

What are your Thanksgiving plans this year?

Dan Szymborski

12:32

Dinner at my sister's house

Dan, Yankees Lost all 4 playoff games AT Houston, nothing suspicious there...

Dan Szymborski

12:32

But the Astros lost all the games AT houston in the WS!

OMG THE TRASH CAN WAS MOVED TO DC, THERE WAS FEDERAL INVOLVEMENT

Post Malone

12:32

Will Luhnow lose his job?

Dan Szymborski

12:33

I suspect no, but his fingers will get more than singed.

Yankees Doctor

12:33

This is the biggest need. (Was that really all just bad luck and thus likely to change back to a more normal level?)

Dan Szymborski

12:33

At this point, I'd call it luck.

Dbo

12:33

How are the kittens?

Dan Szymborski

12:33

Pretty good.

Now that the attic visitor has been evicted!

12:34

For those that didn't follow me on Twitter, there some loud scraping in my attic and I thought I had a squirrel. I was unable to humanely catch the squirrel with peanuts.

So I called the wildlife guy and he found it was a raccoon! He saw paw prints in some dust near the attic opening and in the mud out back near the big chunk A/C outside part

12:35

Part of my rain gutter back there had gotten bent slightly without me realizing and it was dumping water on the side of the roof, enough to rot a section for a raccoon to push open.

That's being patched next week and I'm taking the opportunity to have my gutters replaced.

Adam

Odds that the Dodgers get one of Cole/Rendon/Strasburg?

Dan Szymborski

12:36

25%? I'm not sure how much Dodgers really plan on spending this offseason

Outta my way, Gyorkass

12:36

Grandal's bet on himself last season pays off

Moustakas' 2020 destination: Milwaukee or field?

Dan Szymborski

12:36

Field

Guest

12:36

If Kopech and Cease live up to the hype, White Sox are pushing to win the central pretty quickly right? That lineup is looking nice as Robert and Madrigal slide into it. Pitching is the last piece it seems.

Dan Szymborski

12:36

Fairly quickly, I'm just not sure it's 2020

12:37

Cease hasn't yet mastered the majors and Kopech is coming off a serious injury

Rick Hahn

12:37

Did I really have to give Grandal that fourth year to get that deal done?

Dan Szymborski

12:37

I'm sure it was given for charity

Trevor

12:37

What is the threshold number of steals in the minors necessary for a player to qualify as a "speed guy" whom we should expect to continue to post high SB totals in the majors?

Dan Szymborski

12:38

I don't think it's that binary

JT Bonomo

12:38

With the Sox signing grandal, what does this mean for Zach Collins?
