That's way too vague a question because it's not a 2D line. There's no magic change/no change point

Think the Nats have modified any optimistic plans to call up Giolito this year? 20 BB in just 30.1 IP and a WHIP up near 1.70 + the rotation lacking a weak link

There's no need to rush him if there's a need.

Technically, the quote is "kick ass and chew bubblegum," not "chew bubblegum and kick ass."

I can say it in any order I want.
Roddy also said he was all out of gum

Old school sugary bubblegum...I love it. So will your dentist.

I don't actually chew g um
I drink my milk. My teeth are so strong I could bite through time.

Are the Miami Marlins a playoff team?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:32
I'd say no.

Are the Brewers going to be good before Jimmy Nelson's initial 0-6 club control ends? Would he make sense as a trade piece and if so, what general type of return would he warrant (assume a trade near this year's deadline)?

I think you have to look at a trade if the packages are good.
Copp

Moran and White for Teheran. Is that fair?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:33
I would find that an underwhelming package.

Can Yoenis Cespedes keep up this pace?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:34
No
Danny Almonte

Which struggling veteran that "it is too early to worry about" are you most worried about?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:35
Shelby Miller
Zorn
12:35
Thoughts on Anthony DeSclafani?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:35
He is a pitcher.
Outta my way, Gyorkass
12:35
Cubs rumored to be proposing a package including 5 top prospects for Trout. Any chance this is anything more than wild clickbait speculation?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:35
Probably not, but you should always be willing to talk

Cistulli is nearly halfway eligible to cast a HoF vote. Sam Page once asked "Does Carson Cistulli's Admittance To The BBWAA Finally Justify His Preposterously Detailed Wikipedia Page?". Now that it has been 4 years, what is your opinion?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:37
I will vote for the presidential candidate that endorses sending Carson to Gitmo.
Danny Almonte

What is the trade that needs to happen? One that just makes too much sense not too (but still probably won't)
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:37
Freddie Freeman for something. The Braves are wasting his time.
Houzer
12:37
better playoff stash ... Trea Turner or Dee Gordon?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:37
Probably Gordon if we're talking fantasy

Idk why but I enjoy reading old chats before the new ones start. I just got half way thru the one i picked for today (your chat from 8/26/13) and noticed you placed that bet on Scherzer to win the CY young. What did you spend your winnings on?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:38
Put it in my brokerage account.

Was Kiley McDaniel ever replaced for prospect writing, or is that why Eric longenhagen is being brought back?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:39
Remember how I always tell you guys that ask FanGraphs questions to the Daves?
Bart

What's your opinion of Brandon Finnegan?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:39
Every start at one point has edged on disaster due to his command.
Matt
12:39
Dan! Lance McCullers is back! But he sucked. Should I be worried?
AvatarDan Szymborski

The Astros are the Typhoid Mary of pitching this year.

How, exactly, is Matt Bush a great story?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:40
Everybody loves a tale of redemption
12:41
Bush served his time - society already got its shot. As I see it, society gets a shot, any potential victims get a shot, I'm not sure why *I* should get a shot too.
