In your article on Keuchel, you mentioned the most likely scenario is Gausman to the 'pen. ZiPS, however, likes Gausman over Teheran ROS. What are your thoughts?

Dan Szymborski

12:17

I think the Braves are being a little risk-averse.

It's hard to demote the guy with the good ERA over the guy over six, in reality.

(demote as in bullpen)

12:18

And as I said, I'm uneasy about the narrowing of Gausman's repertoire. He may simply be a better bullpen fit right now

Walrus mustache, mutton chops, or Van Dyke?

Dan Szymborski

12:18

Depends on the face shape!

12:18

Who are two ideal pitchers the Twins should target at the trade deadline since Kimbrel and Keuchel signed elsewhere?

Dan Szymborski

12:19

Bumgarner is the obvious one.

Though I'd love someone to send a spy to infiltrate the Nationals and see if they throw in the towel

Because I'd want to swoop in and some Strasburg action!

What non-panic moves could Cleveland make to turn the season around?

Dan Szymborski

12:19

I'm not sure they have many at their disposal.

12:20

They'll probalby turn it around for the wild card without doing anything major

but they won't win the ALC without anything major (and probably not with anything major anyway)

The essentially need to add payroll that they weren't willing to do a few months ago

Eminor3rd

...so did you ever get Giordano's? What did you think?

Dan Szymborski

12:20

It was great! Though the Lou Malnati's was better

12:21

But it's nice having that in a 20 minute drive rather than a 300 minute one

hey dan!

12:21

is matt carpenter facing real age related regression? what's going on?

Dan Szymborski

12:21

I think he is, but I say that every year. I said that last year and he had four months of in-season MVP performance

Brian

12:21

Time to worry about Lorenzo Cain? Age, not really running, declining peripherals...should I be playing guys like Bryan Reynolds over him in a H2h categories league?

Dan Szymborski

12:21

Not quite yet

Bobby

The sun came up this morning, will go down tonight, and Mike Trout has caught up to Cody Bellinger for the WAR lead.

LFC Mike

Good Monday grizzled and caveman like Dan. You never have to get a haircut for us. What a weekend of bad news... Big Papi obviously the worst news.. then Brent Honeywell fractures his elbow in a bullpen session..I feel for that guy so much..... and closer to home.. How is Galileo recovering? Any sympathy from his friends? With that we are done with the bad news.. on to positive baseball and random stuff talk

Dan Szymborski

I was so sad to see the papi news!

I was a little behind because I was playing a game of Total Wawr

War

Galileo's fine. They drained his abscess and cleaned the wound.

12:23

I was freaking out when I woke up! It looked like there was a golf ball on his chin.

His normal vet couldn't see him until 11 AM, so I brought him to the pet ER

WHen Galileo won't eat, something is REALLY wrong.

12:24

He was cooperative and more or less back to normal.
