See, I'm way better in smaller doses.

Give me a show for some reason and I guarantee I will have exhausted people by Wednesday

Kenesaw Mountain Pass

12:44

The Nationals have banned backpacks. Other bags are searched. When will baseball attendance be affected?

Dan Szymborski

12:44

People are trained for this

by airports and stuff

12:44

think the Brewers are hovering around Kuechel or Kimbrel? They seem to be one of the most aggressive teams in this environment.

Dan Szymborski

12:44

I'd love for them to add Keuchel.

Doug

12:44

I have no idea about the Orioles OF situation, but why not just being Jones back for the fans at a couple million a year?

Dan Szymborski

12:45

Because they'll inevitably play him

Peter

12:45

As a New Yorker who only somewhat recently started reading FG, what is the issue with Skyline Chili?

Dan Szymborski

12:45

IT TASTES LIKE PUMPKIN PIE FILLING BECAUSE CINCINNATI

Pete Incaviglia had 10WAR and a 104 wRC+ over 1200 games; Trumbo 7.8 WAR, 107 wRC+, 1100 games. See the picture I'm painting here?

5 Run Homer

12:45

What’s your opinion on chili’s thickness vs. runniness?

Dan Szymborski

12:46

should be thick

Between that movie about the guy who cut off his own toe to escape the Nazis, and the book about the commando raid to blow up the heavy water plant in Vemork, I've come to the conclusion that WWII Norwegians were some badass mofos.

I went to the gym but there was no parking by the door, so I went home. When will the Commissioner realize the same thing is happening in those downtown ballparks?

5 Run Homer

12:46

Is there a healthy amount of Sweet Tarts?

Dan Szymborski

12:46

Zero. I had more than zero,.

Kyler Murray is 5'10.125'

WTF is a bean burrito?

As a Toronto fan, is it defensible to refuse to watch any of their games until Vlad is up?

Dan Szymborski

12:46

I think you have to organize it as WHY you're not woatching

Or it's hard to make your point

Gub Gub

12:46

I feel like Vlad's oblique strain diagnosis comes from the same doctor who told Tom Hanks he had a brain cloud

Man, it is hard to beat a muffaletta for joy of the name of the sandwich and the quality of the sandwich. Name + flavor, top of the charts.

Matt

12:47

Who could have ever foreseen that tying a player's pay to a single inflection point in time quite close to the start of the season would lead to manipulation? Who could have ever foreseen such an unforeseeable thing?

If random angry internet guy is looking for baseball chat at Fangraphs, I doubt the true random nature of him. I'd like to see the work.

Study

12:47

Currently getting a doctorate (in education). Not that they'll let me do this, but if you could propose a study MLB should fund and support, what would it be about?

Dan Szymborski

12:47

Can they print ligaments yet?

Mamba

12:47

What are your thoughts on moving the mound back? Good way to increase the ball in play? Or stupid dumb idiot rule?

Dan Szymborski

12:47

I'd prefer less dramatic changes

12:48

On-field changes are the *last* thing I'd recommend

You've got guys who have spent their entire baseball lives from teenage years throwing from 60-6

Matt

Interesting Q regarding Japan games. Season is like 185 days, but 162 games. Curious how the league is accounting for that specific gap.

Dan Szymborski

12:49

there's language in the CBA about the "championship season" that defines the maximum days (I think 182

but I don't have it memroiezed

Hello

12:49

Reading/enjoying Ben's scouting series on the Ringer? Any thoughts?

Dan Szymborski

12:50

It's been a lot of fun! I'd love to get my hands on a trove like that
