Last I saw Cassiopeia, she was making that weird chattering sound at cicadas outside one of the windows

12:35

And when I grabbed a drink before lunch, Mercutio was asleep in a guest bed

Cowboy Joe West

12:35

I have umpired more games than anyone. Fact. I have sold more CD’ s at flea markets than anyone. Fact. I disagree.

I have been good about switching from coffee to water after one large cup from St. Louis Bread Company. I encourage all of you to do the same. The baseball world needs us.

Billy Beane

12:35

Dan, I finally have all my keyboard parts thanks in large part to your recommendations and I have a great keyboard now. Appreciate you.

Dan Szymborski

12:35

I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Defenestrater

12:35

To be fair to Joe West; it was the second base umpire (Dan Bellino) who raised the alarm, not West.

Dan Szymborski

12:35

WHY ARE WE BEING FAIR TO JOE WEST?

Curious George

12:35

Why does anyone take Zips seriously?

Dan Szymborski

12:36

The Szymborski-controlled media.

Walk-in Song

12:36

You are a closer, what do you walk into?

Dan Szymborski

12:37

Opening of the second movement of Prokofiev's Scythian Suite

Chris

12:37

Would you claim lindblom or should he be unclaimed?

Dan Szymborski

12:37

Depends what the choice is

Dan Grant

12:37

Rest of the season, Bundy or Paddack?

Dan Szymborski

12:38

I'd still say Paddack as I'm a deluded believer

Hey Dan, trying to impress my beautiful family with some homemade Szymborski Sztew. In what order should I add the julienned mushrooms, pickled beets, and quail livers?

Also: do I really have to let it simmer for 3 weeks? My children are hungry

Dan Szymborski

12:38

3 months, not 3 weeks

also, I'm allergic to mushrooms, so I cannot partake.

TomBruno23

12:38

When will .300 become the new .400?

Dan Szymborski

12:38

We're not at that point. But .350 may be

Norm

12:38

Baddoo has started hitting again and cut the Ks and increased the BBs dramatically this month. Am I crazy for being incredibly bullish on him as a starter long term? He had only a small amount of pro experience coming into this season

Dan Szymborski

12:39

Not crazy. The thing is he doesn't have a long record - uncertainty can be a good thing

Kyler

12:39

With Ozuna about to miss a good chunk of time what is the Braves' best option to fill his spot? I'm afraid it's going to be Ender in CF and Heredia in LF which is... fine but not great.

Dan Szymborski

12:39

IVE GOT A PIECE IN THE QUEUE

CeddyBReady

12:39

Could you please stop apologizing for "Szym'ing" people. They deserve it.

Dan Szymborski

12:39

I didn't think I had earned a verb yet

Bob

12:40

I just want to say that 2021 Wilson Ramos is genuinely the worst defensive catcher I have ever seen. Is this his last season as a major leaguer?

Dan Szymborski

12:41

I dunno, I've seen Peter O'Brien

12:42

He's definitely running out of time as a starter

I can see him getting a year or two in an ill conceived bench role

zurzles

12:42

Is this what Joey Gallo is now? Was there any reason to expect him to repeat 2019? Also is this what Matt Chapman is now? Was there any reason to expect him to repeat 2019?

Dan Szymborski

12:43

I'm mostly given up on Gallo being more, but I'm still cautiously optimistic on Chapman

Sodo Mojo

12:43

The Mariners......are not good. Do they have enough talent that if they can add 5-8 WAR in free agency this off season they can compete for a wild card spot next year?

Dan Szymborski

12:43

I don't think so

It's a weird organization that feels like it froze in transition mode somewhere

TomBruno23

12:43

I have learned how to make money abritraging White Castle Impossible Sliders around the neighborhood. I can teach all of you how to do the same and create your own source of steady income.

Dan Szymborski

12:43

They have Impossible sliders?
