But if a top prospect pitches well, it's not really crazy, no?

12:20

Does JD Davis deserve a starting job once Lowrie returns?

Dan Szymborski

12:20

He'll get PT, but it's a very crowded team

CamdenWarehouse

12:20

Have you noticed that Bill James keeps trying to start a feud with Mike Petriello and Mike is too nice to let it happen?

Dan Szymborski

12:20

I have not noticed

Wait, aI ACTUALLY HAVE A RELEVANT GIF SOMEWHERE

12:21

Mario Mendoza

12:21

I really can't see your avatar... is that a bubble pipe?

Dan Szymborski

12:21

It's Andy Reid Taft

Aegon targaryen

12:21

Did you watch Game of Thrones last night? Thoughts?

Dan Szymborski

12:22

Spoiler free thoughts:

I enjoyed the show, thought the neverending story flying scene was something they don't really have the time for

a little worried about the pacing because that was 1/6th of the season already and while there were a lot of cool moments, there are a LOT of loose ends to tie up

Slapshot

12:23

Who do you think sits on the Iron Throne when Game of Thrones ends this month?

Dan Szymborski

12:23

BRONN THE FIRST OF HIS NAME

Michael Winslow

12:23

To what extent do you think Trump's continued refusal to hand over his tax returns is affecting Jacob deGrom's performance?

Dan Szymborski

12:23

Minimally

Sansa Stark

12:23

You think the Ms can keep this up?

Dan Szymborski

12:24

No, as I said a lot this winter, they're nowhere near the horrid team that people portrayed them as

they weren't going to be *that* bad, they were going to be somewhere from middling to mediocre

and they're a middling to mediocre team that has banked about 4-5 wins more than they should have, which is enough to make them interesting

Tom Brady Anderson

12:24

do the Reds past 5 games (4-1, with the team hitting well) meaningfully change your conclusions from last week's article? at the very least, they've begun to dig out of the hole, i suppose

Dan Szymborski

12:25

It's a deep hole. They're behind where they were at the start of thes eason by definition

Vlad Jr

12:25

Can we stop pretending I don’t belong up now, what’s the holdup?

Dan Szymborski

12:25

Some boxes to check of course

DJ Tanner

12:25

If/when the Mets get healthy, who sits? McNeil was seemingly the odd man out to start the year, but you can't bench him. Lowrie and Frazier may have a tough time finding time, no?

Dan Szymborski

12:25

Frazier especially

They won't release him, but it gets harder and harder to justify playing time

12:25

Dan types so fast holy schinkeys

Dan Szymborski

12:26

INTERMISSION TIME

https://play.typeracer.com?rt=77xx85k1t

12:28

110 and I had to go back and fix a period that was a sentence back

Matt W

12:28

Just your weekly reminder that Jason Vargas continues to pitch for the "we're going for it" Mets.

Dan Szymborski

12:28

When I'm "on" I can hit about 130

Derek

12:29

How much of the Rays current lineup is legit? It seems to be full of mysteries.

Dan Szymborski

12:29

And now I'm so scared about mystery
I fear I smell extinction in the
Folds of this novacaine age coming on
I miss the smell of mystery
Reverb leaking outta tavern doors
And not knowing how the sounds were made

Bring back DeSpaniel Hair

12:29

Someone dumped Vladito in my redraft, and the one guy ahead of me on waivers didn’t put in a claim! This has to be a sign that I’m winning it all this year, right?

Dan Szymborski

12:29

Or that your friends have lost interest in fantasy!

12:30

When is Sixto Sanchez's eta

Dan Szymborski

12:30

I think you'll see him pop up some time in 2020
