And gaze at my dumbass mom.

Oh, I thought you mean only that i said rassenfrassen and din't share the projection

12:49

@Soliloqueue Rassenfrassen.

Glass shards in the Face

Have you ever, or known someone who has, made a bong/steamroller out of a liquor bottle? Did it explode pretty much instantly?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

I have not

Do you enjoy cold weather, as it makes it be chili?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

I just like cold weather

Puig is going to be a monster in that park. I have him going 40HR/25SB Easy right?!?!

Dan Szymborski

12:49

Let's not go nuts about the park factors

Why use emulators when you can rebuy all your tertiary-choice PS1 games in low-def in one cute mini console?

re: Count Chocula. If he's in a suit to protect form the sun, it'll warm up and melt him...

Dan Szymborski

12:50

So he's melted by warmth?

what's in your secret sauce for buffalo wings?

Dan Szymborski

12:50

Buy the wings from a restaurant

DJ Stewart is the Orioles' lone all-star. Change my mind. Also may be DJ Stewart's number 1 fan, but ignore that for the moment.

Are the other Fan Graph chatters envious of the Island of Misfit Toys followers you have here? They should be.

I'm certain Bill Belichick has a very large sophisticated analytics dept and he plays dumb on purpose. What if Billy Beane told Michael Lewis to get lost back in the early 2000s? How many WS would the A's have won if Beane kept all his secrets?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

It would have happened sooner or later

though I appreciate Moneyball sparking public interest in sabermetrics

Since it made all of us employable

12:51

If (somehow) the Braves sign Harper, are they the favorites in the NL? Or is it still the Dodgers?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

Yes, no

Check that

Yes, yes

Dodgers will have an easier division

It's July 30. Cleveland has struggled mightily, the White Sox, Royals, and Tigers have modestly exceeded expectations, and no AL Central team is above .500 or more than 3 GB. Should the Sox, Royals, and Tigers look to add a few rent-a-players to fill holes as long as they give up no real prospects (e.g., take on remaining salary as the main compensation for acquiring them)?

Dan Szymborski

12:52

If they don't give up prospects and their shot is close enough to be realistic, why not?

Making money is easier than making prospects

What are the odds in your opinion that MLB and the players agree to go back to the 15 day DL instead of the current 10 day DL?

Dan Szymborski

12:52

I think they have bigger fish to fry and nothing happens there

Alex

Could you see the Yankees being the Mystery team in on Harper? There’s no way Cashman actually believes a 36 year old broken down Brett Gardner can start this season.

Dan Szymborski

12:52

I can see the Yankees being a mystery team.

Mick

Any under the radar middle infielders you see having a breakout year this year?
