My chili

Has beans! Suck it weird last name guy!

Dan, news today that Senzel is up and running. Once he's back in minor league games, how long realistically do you think he will need to be ready to come up and play CF with confidence?

Dan Szymborski

12:22

I think a month

Jeff

12:22

Thoughts on Tatis' start thus far? About what should have been expected?

Dan Szymborski

12:23

I think so. He's still a 20-year-old that skipped AAA

Leon

12:23

What do you make of the Yandy Diaz lead off thing the Rays are doing?

Dan Szymborski

12:24

He *did* have a .360 OBP coming into the year in limited MLB time and over .400 at AAA.

The larger question is why the Indians seemed so uninterested in him

John in VT

12:24

I call my smelliest farts Szymborskis.

Mean Gene

Mania main event: You think the finish was botched? Also: What can we expect from Kofi ROS?

Looks like MLB added a little more rocket fuel to their Titleists this year. If you can get it in the air then start your Cadillac.

Dan Szymborski

12:25

Looked that way. Kofi's probably not going to be in the singles mix for too long I imagine

Unless they drastically change how they book him

Joe

12:25

You get 1000 swings against Scherzer. Chris Davis gets 10. Do you make more contact than he does?

Dan Szymborski

12:25

Yes

Mooseknucklecurve

12:25

Yandy Diaz, Ketel Marte, Tim Beckham breaking out?

Dan Szymborski

12:25

Maybe-plu, maybe, meh.

Lilito

12:26

How many packs are you opening tomorrow and what deck do you want to play first?

Dan Szymborski

12:26

I've got 130 from preorders and 80 worth of gold, so at least that many. I have 12K dust, so I might top out the set with this amount.

12:26

Wait, why is the chat starting on time?

Dan Szymborski

12:27

I won't let it happen again

LFC Mike

12:27

Dan..interesting piece you wrote on the Toronto/San Francisco trade last week. Dare I say one other reason San Francisco made the trade was because they needed a player to become the Pillar of the community. Banish me if you will but it was worth it.

Dan Szymborski

12:27

Banish you? You're going to prison.

12:27

Which in your opinion has a greater impact over the course of a season... In-game tactical decisions by a manager or non-trade/FA signing decisions by a GM (call-ups, etc)?

Dan Szymborski

12:27

The larger decisions, easily.

12:27

What is Mike Trout's secret chili recipe?? Clearly it works

Dan Szymborski

12:28

Donkey sauce.

Nick Senzel

12:28

Barring any more injuries, am I going to have regular playing time once I'm called up with multi-position eligibility (2B/3B/OF)?

Dan Szymborski

12:28

It appears likely.

Laxtonto

12:28

Why did my internet go down in the middle of recording a video lecture? Why Dan? Why!!!!!!

Dan Szymborski

12:28

Dan is not your ISP

Jeff

12:28

Considering the Astros position and the way they've handled Tucker, does that make him potential trade bait this season? Seems like they are a bit down on him these days...

Dan Szymborski

12:28

I don't think they're down on him.

jason

12:29

zips only has gary projected to play around 100 games, with a full season do you think he is like a true talent 45 hr guy like judge and stanton?

Dan Szymborski

12:29

That's a bit aggressive to me.

Fandom City

12:29

Is there any hope for Jesse Winker once Nick Senzel comes back to CIN?
