HOnestly, lineup decisions have to be absoultely batshit insane to matter objectively

The Braves offense appears to go from decent to world beating after the 7th inning. Have they just been hitting a streak of weak bullpens?

Dan Szymborski

12:26

This kind of thing is volatile.

howdy

12:26

You see anything different from berrios this year that makes you think hell maintain his current production? Last year he had a similar start and faded. Just the typical ebbs and flows of a young pitcher?

Dan Szymborski

12:26

I think the latter really

Mike

12:26

How do you have the NL East finishing?

Dan Szymborski

12:26

Atlanta slight edge

According to ZiPS, what are the chances that the sun does NOT rise tomorrow?

Dan Szymborski

12:26

I don't project stellar evolution, but infintesimally close to zero

12:27

The sun wouldn't disappear just like that after all

Which I told my mom when I was hanging out with her the other day

"Danny, it's quite dark for noon, is it supposed to rain today?"

"Well, geez mom, what would make it dark at noon? The sun going out? Surprise eclipse"

12:28

Now, the sun could go out, but I guess as part of some kind of vacuum metastability event

which would off us pretty quick too

Which current or former ballplayer would you most want to sit next to you on a flight? And it cannot be Jose Canseco because the airline permanently banned him.

Dan Szymborski

12:28

Would love to get some video game talking time with Trevor May

Appa Yip Yip

A couple of years ago a guy in America and a guy in India decided to make an Earth Sandwich, so they both went outside and simultaneously put slices of bread on the ground, and sent each pictures of them doing so. Was the Earth, at this time, a sandwich?

Dan Szymborski

If it was in fact the opposite point, then yes

But only if someone is holding both sides

so you'd need someone with a REALLY big hand

What's your voting methodology for the all Star game? (If you vote at all)

Dan Szymborski

12:31

I haven't voted in a while. I used to use some current true ability estimate

But in reality, the All-Star Game is the least interesting part of All-Star Week for me.

I'll be in Cleveland, but I'm only staying for the other stuff.

12:32

By the way, tickets for our FanGraphs event in Cleveland for All-Star Week are for sale!

It probably will not happen, but if the Royals traded Whit Merrifield at the deadline, what would the return look like?

Dan Szymborski

12:33

Adam Eatonish?

Berg

12:33

If the Red Sox are a .500 team in mid-July, are they buyers or sellers at the trade deadline?

Dan Szymborski

12:33

They might do some mild retooling as in a few years ago, but no major selling.

12:34

What is the best room in your house?

Dan Szymborski

12:34

My office.

I've got three big screen TVs on the opposite wall, between 4-6 PCs at any given time

and in the hottest days of summer, it stays a chill 59 degrees or so

12:35

Plus, it's next to the bathroom that has a dedicated bathroom laptop

and I can do laundry!

Kiermaier's Piercing Green Eyes

Mad Bum's response to being told that he should let the kids play is that is form of letting the kids play is to tell the kids not to play. Thus, the paradox of intolerance makes its way into baseball.

Hello

12:35

Is it just me or are the White Sox starting to look like one-year-early FA players this winter? Starting to fill a bunch of holes internally, Madrigal is raking in the high minors, etc.

Dan Szymborski

12:36

They may be. They've gotten better pitching news from the people that haven't had TJ surgery
