If there's ever a baseball fight that goes the way of the ending of Styles/Nakamura last night, with both competitors kicking each other in the groin, which two players do you feel would be most suited for doing so?

Jon Papelbon and A.J. Pierzynski

Escobar can't even field anymore, when the Royals will call up and give him some innings at short?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:04
Beats me, they never seemed to care if he was any good before.

Are the Reds this bad?

No.

I've criticized the Orioles for basically a lack of caring (little effort, emotion) for the past couple years, but it just seems mean now. Watching the games all the players look legitimately depressed.

You try not being depressed when you think you're a contender and you're 8-26

It's like being an 8-year-old and waking up for the birthday and you found out that you're not actually going to Disney and then your parents abandon you in a well.

Do you think Harper will keep #34 in Atlanta next season?

Harper's not going to Atlanta

Eric Hosmer's contract is looking great right about now! Over under 3 WAR for the year for him?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:05
The problem is that the best years aren't that relevant for the Padres
3:06
And that it's mainly a five-year deal when the Padres want it to be eight and an eight-year-deal when the Padres want it to be five

I feel like you are the kind of guy who has 15 TVs on our wall. One with a dedicated video feed of the entire perimeter of your property. The other 14 with baseball on. My question, many baseball games have you watched at one time?

I've done more than four, but I can't really pay good atention to more than four

Over the last decade, which MLB player do you think got the poorest results from the most raw talent?

A priest, a rabbi, and a monk walk into a bar. The bartender says "What is this, some kind of a joke?"

A priest, a rabbi, and a monk walk into a bar.  They are friends and are having lunch.

Will the Reds give Amir Garrett another shot as a starter any time soon?
AvatarDan Szymborski

They ought to.  It's not like the teams going anywhere.

Why doesn't every team have a dead centerfield camera? The quick answer is that they can't fit a booth there in all stadiums, but I call BS. The dead center camera never moves, and doesn't need an operator. Every team should be able to build some sort of scaffold structure to hold a camera in the correct position so that baseball consumers can see what is ACTUALLY happening. /rant

I think they should at least.  The center view is SO much better than offset

Single digit WAR for Trout?  What a bum

Do you think the Mariners have a legitimate shot at the postseason this year? What do you reckon the front office should do either for now or for the future?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:08
They have a legitimate shot, but the starting pitching is frgithening

What is your chili obsession all about?  Who the F cares if someone puts beans in their chili?  Who the hell do you think you are?

We have to observe some societal norms.

Why don't the Padres bring back the brown? It would make them even a little less boring.
AvatarDan Szymborski

Any Padres uniforms that don't look like two different varieties of mustard are inherently failures.
On that note, we're after 3, so I have to head off for another week.

Thanks for joining me, everyone, you can find my work at ESPN.com, chats and projections here at FanGraphs, and at DSzymborski on Twitter.
And in today's ESPN piece, I talk about the players with hot starts that are most changing what I think of them.  https://t.co/Ml7KIyoEdr
