you don't need a side for chili, you just eat chili

hold on now

12:49

Isn't corn bread a traditional side for chili?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

Yeah, but I don't do it personally

It's not verboten or anything

I don't see people putting forward the empty stadium options for getting in 162

I get playing fan-less games, but the psychological distraction provided by sports can't be overstated. Let's (keep) play(ing) ball!

Has anyone tried Skyline Chili as an anti-viral?

Dan Szymborski

12:50

The cure is worse than the disease!

What's your favourite cheese?

Dan Szymborski

Have you ever considered using ZIPS to "back-project" how good a player "could have been"? For example, if you showed ZIPS only Charlie Morton's recent seasons, could it tell you how good it thinks he would have been over his career?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

I do that at times

Like I've done it for Eric Davis

12:53

and both sides for Al Rosen

How easy is it to go from an in person auction draft to online? Never done an online draft before but I'm thinking it might be best to try.

Dan Szymborski

12:53

Seems it wouldn't be hard, but I'm an online guy

Will Addison Russell play this year?

Dan Szymborski

12:53

I think he'll eventually get signed

Jason

Not having baseball is going to really really really suck

Olson

am I getting a refund on my mlb.tv subscription?

Dan Szymborski

12:53

No idea at all

12:54

I'm just answering off-topic Qs; not enough traffic today to hold over Qs

Jason

12:54

Do you drink sour beers?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

Yeah, but I'm not *huge* on them

jacko

12:55

head to head points league who should go first, JD Martinez or Bryce harper? and then what about meadows or Gallo?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

I'd still go with Harper first and Meadows easily

Jason

12:56

Would you rather be suspended from your cats for a month or have baseball be suspended for 2 months?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

Wait, do I just not see cats or they starve to death or something?

does the poor attendance argue that a big part of your chat group are college kids?

LFC Mike

Which MLB GM would you like to be quarantined with so you could berate him for two weeks straight?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

Bridich

12:57

and if I get mad and have a stroke, he can perform brain surgery!

Jason

12:57

You don't see your cats. They are taken care of but living somewhere else and you cannot come into contact with any other cats.

Dan Szymborski

12:57

Oh, then I'll take the baseball over the cats

As long as they're fine, I like having job security

Guest

Should more teams sell their baseball teams/games as an awesome, laid-back, enjoyable pass-time? Seems like it could remove a lot of the negative "only one happy team at the end of the season" mindset.

Dan Szymborski

12:57

Yes
