I think Kimbrel has made enough money in his career such that he could viably have a vacation home in DC, and not play in DC, Dan.

My all-time favorite gif, even beyond just baseball, is Randy Johnson exploding a bird

Regarding 28-man roster limits...isn't this yet another instance that the MLBPA is giving away rights of soon-to-be union members that will likely need to be addressed in the future?

Dan Szymborski

12:53

It's in their wheelhouse!

Biggest MLB impact this year- Tucker, Bichette, or Rodgers?

Dan Szymborski

12:53

Tucker, a man and his dream

Dan, if I slice up a hot dog in two quarter shaped pieces and disconnect the hot dog bun so it is two separate pieces of bread and then put the hot dog pieces between the two pieces of bread, is that a sandwich?

Dan Szymborski

12:53

Yes

You’ve been contracted by a sports book to set the over/under for Keuchel’s guarantee. What do you go with?

Did you ever know anyone who had an innocent nickname as a kid, that became really embarrassing when you all grew up? I knew a guy known as Twinkie. I felt worse for him every year

Dan Szymborski

We have a friend named Bob that we called Bobbles as a kid

You could have a show where you talk scientific analysis of baseball for 45 minutes, then do some of kind of zany stunt, like Super Dave for the sabermetrics crowd. SABR Dave

Like math stunts?

Or do I have to be injured?

If ever in your life, you experienced eating chili at a Chili's in Chile on a chilly fall day, would that just be sensory overload?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

I would hope I don't travel 3,000 miles to eat at Chili's

Dan. The mound is 3.13 ft off of mathematical center of the field. This upsets Euclid and his predecessor Pythagoras, and thus, this upsets me. It is the sole reason I support moving the mound back.

Have you ever thought about flying a bunch of us in to do a live chat in your house?

Who do I look like, Fatty Arbuckle?

Oh wait

he made more money than I do

and I look like him

The whole Bryce-saying-bring-a-title-to-DC-thing makes me realize just how mundane these interviews must be for players. Is there any way to get players off of auto-pilot?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

Not really

because if they get off the safe, generic, casper milquetoast answers, then someone will blast them for some reason or another

The CBA defines a full season for service time purposes as 172 days, even though the season is usually something like 183 days between opening day and last day of the regular (aka championship) season. It is unclear whether the days between the Japan games and opening day for the rest of baseball count.

Will y'all still be having chats next week during spring break?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

Wait, do we get spring break?

12:57
