It's a breadvioli

An article in The Athletic alluded to rumors that some teams are having cash flow problems and may intentionally underfund their draft pools. We think of owners having these unlimited funds and deep pockets but most of these guys made their money in not-baseball and the economy has to be hitting each of them hard. How possible is it we see a team (Mets? Indians?) that gets into “fold” territory?

Dan Szymborski

12:45

Fold? No, but some teams may run into actual money problems as opposed to their usual fake money problems

Dumpling is older than ravioli so ravioli must be a suborder of dumpling

The Charleston Riverdogs are holding a virtual opening day tonight complete with T Shirt cannon (for best comments on live stream, shirts will be mailed).

“Earth is not a ravioli” is the new “April”

Dbo

12:45

Uhhhhhh, they were filled by folding the meat in the dough?

Jason N

12:46

Labor and Owners both blowing through their war chests right now. Any take on how that may impact the CBA negotiations?

Dan Szymborski

12:46

Nobody knwos at this point

Is a waffle cut up into chunks on a plate with a fruit smoothie poured on top a breakfast cereal?

Dan Szymborski

12:46

Yes

Dbo

12:46

ravioli dough can only have water, dough, and maybe egg so pie dough goes against this logic

hscer

12:46

Well none of these other debates matter if we're going to talk about edible things regularly eaten not being food!

Adam

12:48

Is a scuba diver a ravioli? What about a person getting an MRI?

Dan Szymborski

12:48

No, none of these are!

Any bee incidents since the last stream?

Dan Szymborski

12:48

Nope, no more house bees.

I'm not even sure where it got in

Sonny

12:48

I imagine prospect advances between levels will be near zero until there’s a vaccine so how will we view the bottleneck that forms? Age relative to level, etc

Dan Szymborski

12:48

It's hard to say - years lost are hard to recover

re: Hot Salad

12:48

In central PA, they make a hot bacon dressing (basically drippings, sugar, and vinegar) and pour it over lettuce to wilt it. It's a hot salad that is delicious.

Dan Szymborski

12:48

But most hot salads are not

Sandwich, shmandwich. Try a real Korean taco (samgyeopsal). Grilled pork belly dipped in sesame seed oil, salt and pepper; top with grilled garlic, shredded green onions, bean sprouts, and steamed rice; slather with red pepper paste and wrap in lettuce. Mmm... that's some good eatin'!!!

Sonny

12:49

Think this lay-off will precipitate a dirge in depth, org guy prospects dropping out of pro ball? If you were a 24y in A+ and this was a make or break year how does org evaluate after this?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

I think it's very possible.

But not quite as many as you might think

Because it's hard getting jobs elsewhere right now

If you're into JRPGs, will you be playing FF7 Remake?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

Said at the top! Wait-and-see.

Dank Train

samgyeopsal sounds like a poor man's imitation ravioli

hscer

12:50

is a soft taco a taco?

Dan Szymborski

12:50

I prefer proper soft corn tortillas

Of coruse it is, don't make me send you to where sloppy joe went

Adam

12:50

Any aspects of the ballpark experience that aren't coming back when this is all over?

Dan Szymborski

12:50

I don't think so

It's not like it was a ballpark practice that *(caused* the virus

12:51

Was the 2019 baseball a ravioli?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

it has to be a food

BASEBALLS ARE NOT RAVIOLI

THE SUN IS NOT A RAVIOLI
