He uses orphan blood as a condiment I hear

Bundy turned a corner?

It always looks like that.  Then he goes out and allows 18 runs in 2 starts or something

Is it more likely Donaldson gets traded or that the Jays hit him with a QO to hopefully get a pick out of him?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:23
It's setting up, Donaldson injury/performance that I think it's  QO rather than a trade

is Freddie Freeman the best hitter in the NL?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:24
I think if you start now and push out to the future, I'd take Harper, but Freeman has a very very strong case

how close to Cleveland would you have to be not to sell at the deadline if you were the Twins?

Why isn't Kyle Tucker up yet?

In today's piece over at ESPN I actually wrote about the Astros and TUcker!

Will the Jays keep all their youngsters that are raking in the minors in the minors for the season for control?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:25
It's starting to look that way

I just watched the ump argument after utley slid into tejada in 2015. The term "our a** in the jackpot" should be adopted as standard ump terminology

Who would be your choice to take over as GM/head baseball guy for the O's?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:26
Ruben Amaro Jr.  SInce nothing will change under Angelos or the Angelos sons, might as well go for peak comedyh

Is the Rockies bullpen actually this bad? And if not, how long can it continue to be this bad?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:27
I think they'll be fine
The Rockies are better than their record, but thanks to the awful front office/ownership, worse than their developed talent

Could the Braves make a move for Machado now, and if they fall back as the deadline approaches consider moving him again?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:27
Theoretically possible

What do the Astros do with their excess of Starting pitching?  Peacock and McHugh have both been solid if not above average starters.
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:29
I think they hang onto what they have for now and see what events transpire
If McHugh is a #2 starter for a contender, for instance, the Astros are going to want something *better* than that

would bader and Hudson be a fair package for machado?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:31
I think realistically, that's what the O's will get, but I"m not sure they'll take it

Just incase anyone reading the transcript missed it the first time:
"Markakis leadoff isn't really a bad idea at all" - Dan Szymborski

Why are the O's depriving me of watching Chris Davis whiff his way to the worst season ever??? Do they really think that is less watchable than what they are displaying anyway??? They are even inept at displaying their ineptitude.
AvatarDan Szymborski

I bet they didn't notice until recently

Was your greatest birthday present ever someone sending you a video of Nick Markakis saying "Happy Birthday Dan Szymborski, you jackass"?

It would be

To dig a bit deeper on your theory of suspended games - would it apply then, that the concession stands must save all the food they were selling that day, and bring it back out for sale upon resume?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:31
Hadn't thought of that.
But yes

is Devers going to be any good?

is Galileo perpetually ready to eat or is that just a function of when your chat takes place?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:32
Yes
He's perpetually ready to eat, but the 2 PM-4 PM window is the worst
He gets fed at 4, so he's usually raring right at 2
