I dare you to make a compelling argument in favor of Daylight Savings time

It really messes with my mom. I love hanging out with her afterwards because she appears to be solar powered and it changes her energy level wierdly

Since no one is signing Keuchel, is this one of the shortest careers of a Cy Young winner?
192 games

Dan Szymborski

12:12

Well, he's going to sign of course!

12:15

I think he'd have more starts than LaMarr Hoyt

Maybe VUckovich?

Now I'm sitting here thinking of short career Cys

12:16

If you go by INNINGs, he's gotta be ahead of some Cy relievers

Do you eat beans in other dishes?

Dan Szymborski

12:16

Yes, in bean-appropriate settings

Like a burrito.

The longer I go without trying a Chelada, the more I want to try it. But I don't. Talk me into it.

Dan Szymborski

12:16

Can't you just touch the back of your throat and save the middle man?

Can/should the Yankees trade detances for a prospect and sign kimbrel? That would be a bullpen....

Dan Szymborski

12:16

Nah

Dbo

Is it still true that you'll ban anyone who admits to putting ketchup on their chili? It should be called chili a la sloppy joe

Dan Szymborski

12:17

Did I say that? Sounds like me

What is a worse feeling as an adult playing sports casually, a strikeout or an air ball?

Air ball for sure

Is there anything funnier than Royals fans threatening to give up on the team for signing Martin Maldonado for 1 year/$2.5 million?

Dan Szymborski

12:17

Are they?

The Talk Who Guy Things

Have you accepted that your cats think about murdering humans from time to time?

Dan Szymborski

12:17

It's part of the deal.

Dan, tell us how you really feel about the inclusion of beans into chili.

Dan Szymborski

12:18

There's a lot of delicious meat-and-bean stew. It's just not chili

12:20

-sorry, lost internet for a few mins

is there an equilibrium FA/contract structure outcome where everyone takes shorter, higher-AAV deals [the Bauer Plan (tm)] instead of Harper-style megadeals? Teams seem readily willing to pay premium rates if they're confident that they'll be good during those years -- e.g. the Dodgers' reported 4-5 year Harper offers, the Brewers spending on Cain and Grandal, etc. The players involved wouldn't necessarily be toast at the end of that shorter deal, but/and they'd likely be worth more to the next wave of contenders at that point than the then-rebuilding Brewers.

Dan Szymborski

12:21

There probably is, but 4 years was an awkward amount of time for Harper

You're essentially taking him out of 10-year contracts for good in all likelihood

You're not doing that with a one-year deal

Turtle Jetpack

Who has the greater career as a bat first quad A player: Jack Cust, Dan Vogelbach, or Billy Butler?

Dan Szymborski

12:22

I'd hardly call Cust and Butler AAA players, they both had OPS+ above 115 I believe

When will balls and strikes be called by a computer in a major league game? How soon before it's hacked?

Andrew

12:22

Which team prospect hoarding team (e.g. Atlanta, SD, etc.) is most likely to deal from its stash to make a major acquisition this year?

Dan Szymborski

12:22

Braves I think

The Talk Who Guy Things

12:22

Why do I constantly assign credit to George Benson's 'Turn Your Love Around' to Michael McDonald?

Dan Szymborski

12:22

I don't know why you do the things you do!

Hello

12:22

Any strategic tips for a first time sim league player?
