For the bad Irish accents, there's Brandon Finnegan.

I like saying Bumgarner because you can make butt jokes.

2:25

And Cueto's fun to say because it reminds me of total recall.

Something I have seriously wondered. With all the suspensions for amphetamine(s) in baseball, why don't players use methylphenidate (Ritalin, Focalin). Does MLB test for this?

Dan Szymborski

2:25

I'm not sure, I'd have to look at the drug list.

2:26

metylphenidates have a dosage, u nder 1000 nanograms per milliliter

5 Run Homer

2:26

I don't have a question but I wanna see the little streak of blue when I get a question accepted

Dan Szymborski

2:26

What streak of blue? I'm not seeing it.

Salazar has been having issues with walks this spring. Is he worth the gamble of keeping him at $10 this year or do you think an injury recurrence is just around the corner?

Dan Szymborski

2:26

I'm not worried yet.

On a scale from 1-10, how screwed am I for my ACCT208 exam tomorrow?

Dan Szymborski

2:26

2. You must be quite confident if you're hanging out here.

In all correspondence with Travis Sawchik, do you include a photo of Nick Markakis?

Dan Szymborski

2:27

You guys already get me in trouble wiht him, I don't want to get blocked!

Oh, I have radio at 3, so I have a hard stop time, so include your random crap questions rather than waiting for a Lightning Round.

Tebow got hosed on strike 3

Do any of the Twins' starters besides Ervin Santana post an average season? Which one is most likely?

Dan Szymborski

2:28

I think Berrios, simply because '16 in MLB aside, he *does* have updie.

Ian Desmond

2:28

with my new home I'll show that my contract is a huge bargain and become a perennial 290/20/20 player right? right? just need to make contact and it'll fly!

Dan Szymborski

2:28

If you hit 290/20/20 as a 1B in Coors, the Rockies are probably a loser on the contract.

Bill

2:28

Do you prefer Tommy Joseph or Greg Bird?

Dan Szymborski

2:28

Bird

How did you celebrate the last O's World Series Title?

Dan Szymborski

2:30

It was like 8 PM and I was 5. I think I celebrated by getting bedtime.

I just had this realization in the car. Excel is a pseudo-Visual programming language.

Phil Hughes: effective starter, effective reliever, ugh he's signed for multiple years?

Dan Szymborski

2:30

He's had his moments before.,

Stack overflow for Lotus 1-2-3

intelati

2:30

Kind of overused sometimes, but so versatile

Jeff in T.O.

2:30

Nope, pork chops go on the grill!

Greg bird

2:30

Why does Zips hate me so much? I always rake when healthy

Dan Szymborski

2:31

And you don't feel that any uncertainty due to an entire missed season due to injury at a key development point should be considered?

O's Nos

2:32

Were you the kids with the "Let It Be Lowenstein" sign at the '79 World Series?

Dan Szymborski

2:32

I WA ONE

I WAS ONE

2:33

If I had a sign, I'd probably chew on it and then barf, or whatever I was doing at age 1.

Mickey

2:33

Hey Dan, what kind of numbers do you see for Yasmani Grandal this year? He was great in the second half last year. You think the Dodgers start playing him a bit more? He seemed to sit A LOT last year

Dan Szymborski

2:33

They're trying to be careful, the Dodgers lose everything they love to injury!

O's Nos

2:33

Best ball player ever from Delaware?

Dan Szymborski

2:33

Hmm, Goldschmidt?
