Zack Greinke

Jose Altuve

12:36

In light of his extension, how likely is he to have another mvp caliber season? Did his 90 game season of dominance hurt his chances at 3000 because of the lower number of hits he had or help his chances because he demonstrated continued high level play?

Dan Szymborski

12:36

The missed time is actually more concerning than the good season is helpful

He may have another one in him, but it ought to be quick

the history of middle infielder aging is not good

DAM: Deaths Above Misadventure

Homer

12:37

I think it'd be shocking at this point if Fried stays with the Braves all things considered - feels like a near lock for one of the California teams

It's pretty clear that chili is your least favorite pasta dish. What is your most favorite pasta dish? And which major-leaguer would you compare that pasta dish to, and why?

Dan Szymborski

12:37

CHILI IS NOT A PASTA DISH

Rowdy Tellez seems like a heaping pile of pasta

I tend to like a good ol' bolognese

Ghinga

Dan Szymborski

12:42

I personally prefer figs

Joey Caltrain

12:42

Figs or dates?

ZiPS me like one of your French girls

12:42

When my wife was pregnant she had to eat a ton of figs and dates. She hates them now

Dan Szymborski

12:42

I've eaten a lot of figs and never became pregnant!

Ghinga

12:43

Fg* sorry. But on that note, do you like figs? And do you prefer them dried or fresh?

Dan Szymborski

12:43

I tend to prefer dried

Figgy Pudding

12:43

Is not really pudding, is it?

Dan Szymborski

12:43

Nothing the English say is a food something actually is

wheelhouse

12:44

Is there a way for ZiPS to project what % of the time the yankees' first 5 starters combine for 139 starts, as ZiPS DC has them right now? I know that's an injury projection and probably highly variable but that seems so high for a median projection

Dan Szymborski

12:44

In the season sims, I actually project less

Generally speaking, I'm more pessimistic about pitcher health than our depth charts
