If someone were to offer you 1 free taco every day of the year (and they could be redeemed in groups so you didn't need to eat tacos every day) but you had to leave FG. Is that one of these scenarios?

Dan Szymborski

1:04

Wait, you want to induce me to quite my job by giving me like $700 a year?

1:05

quit

SO a likely series of events would have you leave involuntarily? I feel worse about this potential situation this than the other.....

If Dick Lovelady ends the year with a 4.20 ERA in 69 IP, does the world end?

Dan Szymborski

1:05

The world was always going to end.

Cost =/= perceived value, Dan.

But I can get a taco every day right now

I'm not seeing enough on fangraphs about Bellinger and his amazing April. Any deep dives into his torrid start headed our way?

Dan Szymborski

1:07

Not sure, but I'm sure someone will get into it

He's so good that I'm barely calling him his dad's name anymore.

It was a real problem for me in 2017, I think I called him Clay about 20% of the time.

tired of these cynical hollywood sequels just trying to cash in on my childhood nostalgia. 'Vlad Jr.' makes some sense, but 'Fernando Tatis 2' is just reaching

"Come on, Hollywood, did we really need a sequel to Dwight Smith? And I didn't even see the original Carl Edwards, was that some obscure Japan-only release?"

1:10

"David was the weakest release in the Bell Cinematic Universe yet!"

What do we do with Votto and Bryant? Wait it out or sell for pennies on the dollar?

Dan Szymborski

Now that Mike Trout has rescued the Angels, which MLB team has the worst all-time greatest player in team history?

Dan Szymborski

1:11

Marlins? All the good ones had short Marlins careers

1:12

Stanton's out before even his 20s were done, he won't be considered a Marlin first, I don't think

30 WAR is pretty short for a team leader

Russell to 2B when he gets back? Javy has earned SS, IMO

Dan Szymborski

1:13

I think so.

Sometimes I get excited about Jarred Kelenic in lowA only to realize Vladito is the same age and projected for 3wins in the majors as a mediocre fielding 3B. Still excited about Kelenic, but, the scale is different.

Dan Szymborski

Yeah, it's an unfair comparison to make!

If you win the lottery, the second-best day that week just won't compare
