Sandwiches have to be able to take the forces of the ingredients inside

Have you ever thought about reaching out to Yandy Diaz to team up and start a podcast? You could call it "Yandy and the Digital Dandy". You could have it produced by someone named Mandy (or Randy) and have in-depth discussions about what does and does not constitute a sandwich - and title the segment Yandy and the Dandy Talkin' Sandys.

How many folks will get fired for trying to make the new Steam remote streaming happen on their work PC’s?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

Probably quite a few

Not me though!

Any reason to not have Bobby Bradley in the majors right now other than 33% Ks? And is that enough of a reason.

Dan Szymborski

12:49

They ought to.

He was awful in 2018, but he's actually hitting now and when it comes to offense, the Indians are in throw stuff at the wall piont

Blown saves themselves are not predictive, but in order to blow a save, one has to do the thing that you want pitchers not to do, correct?

Dan Szymborski

12:50

But we have ways to actually measure the things you want pitchers not to do that aren't based on some dumbass stat awkwardly thrown together by Jerome Holtzman.

Saves are *way* worse than pitcher wins.

Wouldn't you just be stuck in an unemployed Mozeliak's body?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

I don't think he's at risk but he's got the resume line.

Plus, he's in better shape than me

Changing bodies is a GREAT diet tip

Man that was one heck of a series this weekend. But the most amazing thing I saw was Tatis scoring from third on a ball back to the pitcher in game 4. He also produced two runs on his own after singles/walks in games 1 and 4 by stealing second, drawing an overthrow and then taking third just to be driven. Is there a way to calculate the value of these "intangible" things Tatis is doing? He just seems to be a different animal than anyone else in the game. How good can this guy be?

Dan Szymborski

12:52

I think he's a superstar.

Thank you for this chat: I am milking the clock until the boss is in meetings from 1pm onward

Dan Szymborski

12:52

DON'T MILK CLOCKS. It's weird enough that the hippies are milking flax and hemp somehow

WHERE IS THE MILK COMING FROM

Paul Spider

12:53

Dan, where is Vidal Brujan?

Dan Szymborski

12:53

Still down in high-A, or did they promote hiM?

Leper Messiah

12:54

Thx for ur time, Dan. Jackson’s been excellent? Do you feel the need to qualify?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

No.

Counting saves is essentially weaponizing coincidence.

LFC Mike

12:54

You are going to speak with Jessica Tandy? impressive!

Matt

12:54

The milk is coming from *inside* the house, Dan.

Dan Szymborski

12:55

IN THE FRIDGE

A pop tart is not a sandwich, but if you stack three Pop tarts together, icing facing inwards, does it become a sandwich?

Dan Szymborski

12:55

Yes

Morbo

12:55

I'm typing with a broken finger give me a break

Dan Szymborski

12:55

you know who won't give you a break?

Jeff Francoeur

12:57

Dan, Jeff here. What is your reasoning as to the heavy increase in the long ball this year?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

Balles de baseball infusé aux teh steriods~!
