Josh

Level of concern for Chris Taylor? He’s striking out at near a 40% clip!

Dan Szymborski

12:26

Significant because it's bared with a BIG decline in contact rate

Teddy

12:26

Any tips/tricks/suggestions/warnings for someone moving to NYC later this year?

Dan Szymborski

12:27

I dunno, I've never lived in NYC!

Oh, that should be Lightning Round

I think you mean to ask Jay?

I've lived in Baltimore, PA/MD border, and south of Dayton.

Well, Towson, which isn't relaly in Baltimore

Justin Upton

12:27

Anybody going to sign me?

Dan Szymborski

12:27

I wouldn't be surprised to see Upton resurface in NPB at some point

12:28

For geography and young children reasons the only MLB game I get to go to this year is BAL at CIN on July 30. How far out of first combined will they be by then?

Dan Szymborski

12:28

50?

Uncle Spike

12:28

Who gets called up first for the Royals? Pratto or Pasquantino?

Dan Szymborski

12:28

Should be Vinnie

I am stunned that Jeremy Pena, son of a major leaguer, was missed buy the college recruiters and ended up playing his college career at Maine of all places????

Dan Szymborski

12:29

It does seem odd, but I wasn't really paying much attention to him as a prep so I can't say. That may be a Q for Eric

Artwork

12:29

Is this your version of an NFT pump and dump?

Dan Szymborski

12:29

On Twitter, we were playing with the art neural network thing

Teddy

12:30

What percentile projection outcome would you say this version of JV was?

Dan Szymborski

12:30

70? It's not like projections hated him

FYI

12:30

Angels calling up AA prospect Chase Silseth - he's pitched all of 31 minor league innings.

Horseface

12:31

Would you trade Tatis for Gausman and Max Meyer? One year remaining to control Tatis

Dan Szymborski

12:31

I think I would simply becuase attendance counts in fantasy

Andy

12:31

After each win, are the Rockies players tearing articles of clothing off of a cardboard cutout if Charlie Montfort?

Dan Szymborski

12:31

Maybe they're DRESSING a nude cardboard cutout of Monfort?

Insert Witty Name Here

How can we get baseball announcers to stop complaining all the time? I know there’s a lot to complain about, and I realize I’m complaining about complaining, but the announcers should make the game interesting! It’s bizarre how much I hear how the game sucks while the game is being played!

Dan Szymborski

12:32

Baseball is Very Serious Business so you have to be on the lookout if any players or fans are having fun and cut it off before it gets out of hand.

Dude

12:32

Who will have more WAR, rest of season: Byron Buxton or Taylor Ward?

Dan Szymborski

12:32

I'm gonna say Ward simply because I don't want to be in a position of making even a no-cost bet on Buxton's health

The phillies: not great bob. Stars and scrubs MLB lineup is clearly not going to pull them into any kind of real playoff contention. Their farm system is a disaster. They have no real ability to develop players. Is there a path out of this? Or are they locked into a decade of disappointing baseball?

Dan Szymborski

12:33

They're kind of in that mid-tier team with high payroll trap

but they're not as bad as their record

I mean most of the team is playing fine

12:33

Who, in international baseball, should be playing in MLB the most as of now?

Dan Szymborski

12:33

Toronto?

I mean, they have 162 games on the schedule.
