Why don't the Braves just do that thing where they have a rotation like Maddux/Glavine/Smoltz/Millwood?

cool

Dan Szymborski

12:45

Don't mean to alarm you, but "20 years ago" no longer encompasses the Braves putting together that rotation.

crying

12:46

Even *Millwood* was last a Brave 17 years ago.

CamdenWarehouse

12:46

heh, the idea that the Rockies have a good offense just won't die. The Fish announcers were talking them up over the weekend saying the bats and not the pitchers were why they'd challenge for the division

DDD

12:46

If you were Mookie Betts, what number would make you sign today? If you were the Red Sox, what would be the top you'd offer?

Dan Szymborski

12:46

Harper's deal

DEF

12:46

Will there be a ZIPs projection disk for Diamond Mind this year?

Dan Szymborski

12:46

Yes

chet

12:47

Rockies were my WS pick a week ago. How much does the murphy injury hurt?

Dan Szymborski

12:47

Depends how long he's hurt

Yadier

With the rise of awareness/charting of pitch framing, how do you think umpires will respond to catchers who are considered great framers? In reality, they are trying to make the umpires make mistakes.

Dan Szymborski

12:47

Umpires seem more annoyed by it than anything

but some will look at the stats rather than see them as a challenge

12:48

the endgame is robot balls and strikes

InLastPlace

Does Tauchman get a chance or is Frazier seeing all the time with Stanton out

Dan Szymborski

12:48

Would make sense to looka t Frazier

YKnotDisco?!

12:48

Terrance Gore's player page has him listed as DH (lol) when it should be DPR.

Dan Szymborski

12:48

We don't really have a field for that

since it's 2019 and not the playoffs and all

but the Royals gonna Royal

GP

12:48

what do you make of sonny gray after a great spring and a terrible first start?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

No change.

Because March.

Mike

12:49

My friend is convinced that the .010 bump in Christian Yelich's ROS zips projection means that 4 games has further confirmed that Yelich is now Barry Bonds. Could you please say "APRIL" to him in the nicest, most convincing way?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

HEY MIKE'S FRIEND:

MARCH

So what

12:50

I'm wearing my wife's dirty underwear on my head like a sexy bandana.

Dan Szymborski

12:50

That's...nice?

Old Timey Fellow

12:50

Hey Dan, we may have a weird, cold ocean, but we also don't have hurricanes or hot humidity.

Dan Szymborski

12:50

We have humidity so that we're not too spoiled by being on Beast Coast

12:51

We have seasons

InLastPlace

12:51

Drop Hampson for McMahon or Domingo Santana

Dan Szymborski

12:51

Ideally, I'd want Hampson and Mac and see how it plays out

Iggy Pop's Raw Power

12:51

start 1 - Paddack vs STL or Gibson @ KC?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

Paddack

Andrew

12:51

Pete Alonso had a fantastic opening series against some pretty tough competition. What do you think are the chances he hits the over on his zips projection?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

1-in-2

The Darkness

12:51

How quickly do plate discipline metrics start to stabilize for hitters?

Dan Szymborski

12:52

Quickly, but there's no hot and fast rule because it's a spectrum, not something that turns ona nd off

Kevin

12:52

Are we concerned about Winkler's PT? He has Joey Votto plate discipline, and needs to play over Schebler.
