Baseball Stars

and honestly, MLB the Show has passed those 2K/EA games

Mike Trout has 35 facial hair. I don't think he has shaved since his rookie season and no one can tell

Dan Szymborski

1:05

I know his pain

What possible reason would you have for playing Healy over Vogelbach on a non-contending team?

Dan Szymborski

1:05

Family being held hostage by Healy-rights groups?

Mark

Do you get as weirded-out as I do by people asking you for updates about your pet?

Dan Szymborski

1:05

No, especially given how much galileo sends tweets

duct tape...brett lawrie..??

Have there ever been any cinderella stories, players who didn't grade out as superstars but somehow developed into one?

Dan Szymborski

1:06

Half the stars in baseball!

Pujols wasn't highly drafted

Piazza

What is your least favorite baseball jargon?

Dan Szymborski

1:06

"resumed baseball activities"

sounds like a euphemism

1:07

If your friend had stomach flu and you asked if they were feelign better

and they replied "I have resumed consumption activities."

You shoudl punch them in the face. Not hard, but just hard enough to nip that in the bud.

1:08

"How's your ankle Alan?"

"I have resumed all pastimes reflecting of an ambulatory character."

As close to 1R^2 for any chat Dan. That is disturbing to me.

Dan Szymborski

I still don't get this, what are we correlating it with?

Todd Bonzalez

1:09

Ever yield (zips)^2 by running zips on zips projections? I'm sure it leads to at least x4 times the accuracy

Dan Szymborski

1:09

ZiPS is a great predictor of ZiPS!

What's the worst injury you've ever suffered?

Dan Szymborski

1:10

Tore my wrist tripping over a cat in the dark on the stairs and getting my hand stuck in the bannister as I tried to catch myself.

1:11

Though stepping on a piece of glass and making a cut from under my fourth toe to the side of my foot and most of the way down was worse than I thought at the time

I just tied it off with a sock I used as a tourniquet and went about my business and checked it every few hours to see if the bleeding had stopped.

Took a really long time

My sister, in medical school at the time, was absolutely furious about this

1:12

She said I needed about a dozen stitches

the right side of my foot was numb for about 6 months and then slowly feeling crept back up where the cut was

But eventually it stopped. A couple of years later, I still don't have feeling on the outer half of my pink toe and I think that's permanent.

1:13

And with that gross story, I bid you all adieu for another week!@

Thanks for coming everyone!
