I actually bought school lunch, but just the basics.  I'd bring ecto cooler and fruit rollups and when they came out fruit sharks because they were super valuable for barter.
2:34
Sometimes, I could trade for an entire normal lunch with the junk and just hang onto the cash.
My grandfather would give me a twenty a week for lunch and I could keep the rest.
Which believe it or not was actually a lot of money for a litlte kid at the time!

How does ZIPS project defense? Does it use DRS or UZR or a blend of them? I'm taking the over on ZIPS WAR projection for Matt Chapman because it (fairly) assumes that no one is as good as he is at defense based on the SSS.

A blend and I have a total zone-esque minor league system.

Dan, hello. I am looking forward to eating the sandwich known as "cheese steak" on the regular.

I never got an answer on whether Chris Sale won the record.

Thoughts on Robbie Ray (now with Humidor) to win the 2018 NL Cy Young?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:36
I think he's a legit candidate, though Kershaw is the defualt favorite as long as he exists

Has a great Japanese hitter ever come over to MLB and been just bad? Ohtani is a great Japanese hitter...

I solved the puzzle. Your last name is just an acronym for Silly zebras yelling maniacally behind orange rhinoceroses sporting kimonos ironically. What's my prize?

What do the Yankees do with all that infield depth.  Right now they have Bird-Walker-Didi-Drury penciled in with Lind, Wade, Andujar, Torres as depth.  Thats not to mention Torreyes who was a good utility man last year
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:36
I'm not quite sure.  Someone like Lind could just be outrigfht cut
Larry Londs

Can you explain what happened to the usually dependable Mark Melancon last year?  Is he fixed now?

Are there some bells you can't "un-ring" ?

All of them.  That's how sound works.

You know what, beans are fine in chili. There are literally things called chili beans. Maybe some of us didn't grow up rich and had to make the meal stretch further. Also, cats are terrible, emotionless animals who crap in other people's yards. Sounds like she might be dodging the bullet.

there are literally things called corpse flies but that doesnt' make it ok to kill your family
Cats are terrific!

Have you ever been to an Orioles Spring game in Sarasota? Going to my first one next week. Stadium looks beautiful on the outside.

Boras, after the A's win the 2nd WC with a payroll under $70 million:  "Like rats sneaking onto ships taking the oppressed to the New World, the A's snuck under the revenue sharing rules, snuck under the CBA, and snuck into the Promised Land.  I don't like rats."

For fun, please have some speculation as to whom the Padres ought to try and acquire in a year or two at third base.
AvatarDan Szymborski

David Freese!  Then they can blow all their free agent cash on a superstar like J.A. Happ.

Are the Mets under-talked about right now? Seem much better/more interesting than the typical .500 projected team
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:41
I think they're talked about as much as they should.  They're a borderline contedner with a lot of questions and a meh ownership.

My name is Dan too Dan, is it possible that I am also Matt's friend Dan?
