Defenses are far worse in the high school than in pro, there's more a benefit of putting the ball in play

12:33

Is Christian Yelich BETTER than last season?

Dan Szymborski

12:33

I wouldn't go that far becuase March, but damn

Sir Nerdlington

12:33

Did you read the Deadspin story on the Ricketts/Tribune financial shenanigans? Given the WS windfall, how do the Ricketts' not plan ahead to buy the final 5% from Tribune *and* be able to afford an actual reliever or two (not to mention Harper/Machado)? Seems like greed, stupidity, or negligence. Or all three.

Dan Szymborski

12:33

I actually missed that

John S

12:33

Who is gonna soak up some innings for the baby Padres? Someone has to right?

Dan Szymborski

12:33

I think if players start getting high in innings totals, they'll rotate in other options

Out of LF

12:34

How serious is the Stanton injury?

Dan Szymborski

12:34

I don't believe it's serious

chet

12:35

biggest 1st series pitching surprise; Lauer, thornton, or jordan zimmerman? Or just really bad opponents?

Dan Szymborski

12:35

Matt Moore!

Ziggy

12:36

Do you subscribe to the Athletic? I can't afford it but want to read Eno.

Dan Szymborski

12:36

I do.

Eno gonna reap your soul

JTR0

12:36

After the Astros, who has the second best starting rotation in the AL West?

Dan Szymborski

12:38

That's like asking for your second-favorite result in the lotto after "win"

12:38

Talk to me about Nick Margevicius. It's not often we have a local kid from Rider make it to the big leagues

Dan Szymborski

12:39

He's related to noted wrestler Sid Margevicius. Soft-tosser, but the Padres are looking at the rotation as an opportunity to try things

12:39

Kolton Wong or Lourdes Gurriel?

Dan Szymborski

12:39

Wong is write

Ceddy B Ready

12:40

Joey Rickard is the worst.

CamdenWarehouse

12:40

I was sad to see you didn't stand up for Andy Nelson's yesterday

Dan Szymborski

12:40

They're a more generalized barbecue place, the pit beef can't match the elite tier

12:41

the vinegary pork is 80 though

12:41

So...is it me or are you amazed at the great pitching performances that have occurred so far from pitchers who...are not that great? I am not saying it was one guy, but there have been several. I think the ball is dead on purpose, though MLB gave the Mariners the old ball for the Japan series...and they are still using it.

Dan Szymborski

12:41

I think part of it is knowing that Matt Moore was dominating.

12:41

Folty hasn't really been developed by the team though. He was mostly an Astros org. guy

Dan Szymborski

12:41

Still, plenty of other names

Bobby Cox

12:41

Don't forget Brandon "decent" Beacy!

Daniel L

12:41

Any reason ZiPS got pulled for Chris Paddack?

Dan Szymborski

12:41

It did?

That's news to me

stew

12:42

you buying the Adam Jones renaissance?

Dan Szymborski

12:43

stever20

12:43

what kind of reception do you expect for Harper tomorrow night with the Nats?

Dan Szymborski

12:44

mixed

Andy

12:44

I mean yeah the Marlins are not a good team but you gotta admit that their rotation at least has POTENTIAL to be pretty damn good

Dan Szymborski

12:44

but POTENTIAL isn't IS

And I was arguing this in the context or noting that the Marlins gave away Paddack, Castillo, and Trevor Williams essentially for free. People were acting like it was this rotation OR those guys

when none of them were traded for the current rotation
