Hot dogs?

Anything ketchup related?

bbb

12:37

will Joey Votto turn it around?

Dan Szymborski

12:37

He's done it before, so I'm still hopeful

DEF

12:38

Most gruesome broken arm? Dave Dravecky against the Expos. Sounded like a gunshot.

Dan Szymborski

12:38

Saudners was pretty bad

Peet

12:38

What if the DH swapped leagues every two years?

Dan Szymborski

12:38

Yuck

Mike

Where would you put the odds on the White Sox making the playoffs at least once in the next 5 years? Between the offseason shenanigans and a new pile of injuries starting to form (including possible TJS for Rodón), I'm feeling very pessimistic.

Dan Szymborski

12:38

60%? Making playoffs is not *that* hard and five years is a long time

I'm waiting for the books to be finished or for Martin to die. So I do have an out for when the series is left unfinished.

Dan Szymborski

12:39

HI can see him totally burning all his notes

Slapshot

I know it's just May, but it seems like the Nationals are destined for another disappointing season, given the talent assembled. What do you think the biggest reason is for their perpetual ability to underwhelm?

Dan Szymborski

12:39

They do get bit sometimes by their lack of depth

Dingo Man

12:39

Would u trade Dahl for Marquez

Dan Szymborski

12:39

Yes, in real life

In fantasy, no

Soto

12:40

The Cubs now have the best run differential and a game out from having the best record... KB and Rizzo's BABIP are both 70 point lower than normal, so some hot streaks may be coming soon. I know cocky Cubs fans are annoying, but is alright to feel confident?

Dan Szymborski

12:40

Yeah, people panic too much

Roger

12:40

Re: bad baseball names, there's a pitcher in this draft class named Kyle Hurt. In true pitching prospect fashion, even when he's healthy, he's Hurt.

Dan Szymborski

12:40

Rip Torn-UCL

Archer

12:40

If Manuel Margot catches a fly ball that's going over the fence, is it a Margot Robbie?

Dan Szymborski

12:40

I will allow it.

CubFan

12:41

Are Vlad's early struggles more to do with pitchers already knowing what he can't handle or he's just overwhelmed by the huge expectations that have been placed on him......or both? How long will the Jays allow him to struggle before sending him down to regain his confidence?

Dan Szymborski

12:41

I'd put it on 8 games is meaningless

Mr. Met

12:42

How his Homer Bailey not the worst baseball name? It would be fine if he was a hitter!

Dan Szymborski

12:42

But that name kind means homer WALL

Like he's a wall that stops the home runs

Guest

12:42

Does Forest Whitley provide any value this year in a deep league or should I move on?

Dan Szymborski

12:43

IN a redraft, I dont' think he'll have much value

Skipper Brad

12:43

Am I proving to be Eppler's biggest mistake?

Dan Szymborski

12:43

It's early, but I was never a fan of this

Gary Sanchez

12:43

thank you for believing in me last year, i'm still very good at hitting

DEF

12:43

Dan, re: Ohtani. Can you check out the DMBO or BNSL boards - putting the ZIPs projections in doesn't seem to be working. Thanks.

Dan Szymborski

12:43

Thats' weird

jonathan

12:44

Any chance Albert Pujols is a few years older than his listed age of 39? Might explain his amazing play at official age 20 and rapid decline recently. It can't all be fasciitis.

Dan Szymborski

12:44

There are all sorts of old rumors.

But I only know what I can prove.

Matt

12:44

If ketchup were served hot and in a bread bowl, would it be soup?

Dan Szymborski

12:44

Gross soup

Connecting…
