For real though. 60 ft 6 inches? Who thought of that? Did they initially intend to put the mound in the center and just eyeball it?

Dan Szymborski

12:58

It was 60 feet then, but we moved over to Gregorian feet from Julian feet in the 1930s.

Thin chili is just alternatively flavored taco meat.

Can Gub Gub be banned until he asks an actual baseball question?

Will we struggle to remember 'Bryce Harper the Nationals OF' at the end of his current contract? He'll have been the Phillies DH for at least 10 years at that point.

Dan Szymborski

12:58

Nah, we still remember A-Rod, Mariner

What's a 'balk'?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

Calvinball for umpires.

Matt

12:59

So, let me get this straight - you *don't* support service time manipulation, but you *do* support hot dog manipulation? You are a soulless man, Dan.

Big Joe Mufferaw

Is Willians Astudio the next Bartolo Colon esque sensation?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

He may already be!

Addison Russell sucks

12:59

Dan do you think Harper is HOFer if he reaches like 65-70 WAR career?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

Probably because corner outfielders seem to get in with lower standards. When they get to a lot of WAR, they usually have good countint stats

except the ones like abreu

The quintessential FanGraphs Road Trip would be for all of you to get in a ________, drive to ___________, and drink _______ at ________ until passing out.

Dan Szymborski

1:00

mystery-solving van, Greenland, expensive whiskey we trick Dave into paying for, Nuuk

(I assume a ferry will be involved at some point unless it's a mystery-solving hovercraft)

1:01

Actually, let's make it a mystery-solving hovercraft

I rule Gub Gub's mad lib to be a baseball question, as it references Fangraphs.

Chili

1:01

If I had some chili right now, it would be flavored with __________.

Dan Szymborski

1:01

chili peppers?

Gub Gub

1:01

How many Blown Saves can the Red Sox absorb until the local media wants someone's head

Dan Szymborski

1:01

I think double digit blown saves start to set people off

because they think those are actually 10 wins lost

Charlie Kelly

1:01

What can be done regarding big time free agents signing this close to, or even after, the start of spring training? Any possibility that the it could be a point of discussion with the CBA?

Dan Szymborski

1:01

I don't see what can be made

1:02

Unless you force a quiet period over spring training

It's hard to force someone into agreeing with a gree agent

Lou

1:02

The Giants look like garbage, they have to trade Bum right?

Dan Szymborski

1:02

Honeslty, I think without a major improvement, they already needed to

Matt

1:03

Do you really trust Flea, Chad Smith, that other guy and/or Anthony Kiedis to flavor your chili?

Dan Szymborski

1:03

Hillel Slovak is the one in charge of spices

Specific Angry Internet Guy

1:03

I LOVE this chat...and Dan's cats rock.

Gub Gub

1:03

Does Joey Wendle have staying power, or is he another Sam Fuld?

Dan Szymborski

1:03

I don't think he's 2018 good, but he' should be an average player for awhile. He's better than Fuld

Devil Ray Jay Johnson

1:03

Any significant trades between now and opening day?

Dan Szymborski

1:03

I think we may get a Castellanos trade

Morbo

1:04

neilage, actual baseball questions are banned in this chat

Pepper Potts

1:04

Do you see Crawford being the M's shortstop of the future or will be become a bust?
