You can feel the team really start coming together in a way you didn't last year

Homer

12:36

Regarding you saying that the Tigers won't trade Boyd. Shouldn't they trade him though? Just because his value will likely never be higher. Shouldn't all clubs be looking to sell high on certain occasions, regardless of timing as it relates to winning/losing cycles?

Dan Szymborski

12:36

They probably *should* but it's a moot point

Joe

12:37

Is it time to cut bait on Spencer Turnbull? Pick-up PabLo instead?

Dan Szymborski

12:37

You're a greedy greedy man

Magic Kingdome

12:37

What the was the ESPN swag you got?

Dan Szymborski

12:37

I never thought about getting much swag

12:38

But I *did* get to Town Car from the airport!

12:39

and the time they rented me a car, it was a really nice Infiniti SUV

Though a little large for my tastes - my cars have been a Ford Tempo, a Mazda 6, and now a Subaru Crosstrek, so I'm comfortable in smaller cars.

I guess the 6 was technically a midsize, but it wa sa smaller midsize

Josh

12:39

Do you see any legitimate justification for the Padres keeping Urias down in AAA other than the price tag on Kinsler's salary?

Dan Szymborski

12:39

The Padres haven't done many service time games, but he should be up

just a guy

12:39

Is Jose Suarez going to get legit shot at rotation or headed back down?

Dan Szymborski

12:40

I think they have to see what sticks to the wall

Redsox fan

12:40

#prayforbigpapi. So according to fangraphs, Redsox projected standings right now to win 90 games this season. 7 games back in division. Will they make playoffs or missed it? Will they do anything drastic in trading deadline, sell off pieces, ?

Dan Szymborski

12:40

I don't think they go all-in if it looks like upside

Nick

12:40

How do you weigh ZiPS vs personal opinion?

Dan Szymborski

12:40

Depends. I don't have like some set thing

Awesome

12:40

The word from the bit was "awesome."

HugoZ

12:40

Austin Riley's OPS has regressed to .939. Would it be a good idea to send him back to AAA when Inciarte is ready to return?

Dan Szymborski

12:40

As my friend Chris Dial would say, plastic bag and a rubber band!

Kyle Hendricks #1 fan

12:41

So Kyle Hendricks is 8th in pitcher fWAR and he's not getting much all star hype. The dude is too damn good. Any ideas on how to get him to Cleveland?

Dan Szymborski

12:41

You can take I-90 pretty much the whole way

Von Hayes

12:42

Is a bay the ocean?

Dan Szymborski

12:42

Wait, I should give a real answer

Henricks has a real shot, his traditional ERA is quite solid

12:43

It's tricky, because pitchers are picked by player ballot and MLB

Matt

12:43

I'm back from lunch, Dan. You can start the chat

Dan Szymborski

12:43

OH GOD I ALREADY DID, WE GOTTA START OVER

Dan's Mom

12:43

Please don't make fun of me in your chats, dear.

Dan Szymborski

12:43

My mom would never call me dear

12:44

Dan, if you don't like the way I'm reading this chat, get it out of the ocean.

Dan Szymborski

12:44

I think bays have to be surrounded by a certain percentage of land

and lots don't have same salt content, like chesapeake bay

LFC Mike

12:44

Do you think Raisel Iglesias stays in Cincinnati or is he trade piece? Looking

Dan Szymborski

12:44

If they were going to trade him, they would have in 2017

caesar_solid

12:46

Do you have any thoughts on Ashton Goudeau and his amazing AA statline? Granted he is a 26 year old in AA, but he looks like a completely different pitcher than in the past and I can't really find any more detailed info about him

Dan Szymborski

12:46

Last I saw goudeau, he was a low 90s fastball guy, pretty normal curve/change repertoire IIRC

Haven't actually watched him this year
