The Wisconsin timber Rattlers actually have that grilled cheese burger. And one with pizza slices as the buns. And my favorite, one with cheeseburgers as the buns. THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT TO CONTRACT, OWNERS!!!!

Are you concerned that there will a few too many Mike Williamses (former USC standout WR who took a year off football and had trouble staying in shape after that) with guys in quarantine for so long? Not seeing live round is one thing, but just the boredom and lack of access to the usual world class facilities and care is going to have a toll on a few poor souls, right?

Dan Szymborski

12:43

I'd be more concerned in other sports than in baseball

Does the possibility of any player doing anything force me to overpay on a trade this season to get a tremendous keeper (Devers)? I mean, Carson Kelly could outproduce Realmuto, right? Same goes for Segura out performing K Marte or Happ outproducing Clevenger (just using examples).

Dan Szymborski

12:43

I would certainly prioritize keepers since success this year will be more randomized

Sam

Who's your favorite what-if player excluding injury and premature death guys? Like someone who you would have loved to see get modern player development

Dan Szymborski

12:46

a LOT of injured pitchers

Bryan

Your birthday is June 19th!?!? My birthday is June 19th!!! Should we be best friends!?!?!

Why do people say sammich and why is it so dumb

Dan Szymborski

12:46

I'm not sure the etymology

Big Joey

12:46

It's a L H2H league. What's with the Eovaldi hate?

Dan Szymborski

12:46

He's risky, erratic, and the team isn't very good

What computer keyboard would you recommend? Would mainly be used for typing.

Dan Szymborski

12:47

How noisy are you willing put up with?

12:48

I do tend to like Corsair's offerings

Cherry Blues are wonderful to type with.

12:50

sorry, door

12:51

Browns are a good compromise between noise and tactile

12:52

I use a sound blaster vengeance as my general purpose keyboard, it has omron switches that are similar to browns but with a shorter actuation point

i have a gigabyte osmium cherry red that I use for gaming.

I'm in northern Cincinnati area so birthday Skyline is on me!

Regarding the all-time rotation question, I think it's definitely the Dodgers with (not in any order) Koufax, Kershaw, Pedro, Greinke and Sutton.

Dan Szymborski

12:53

You get Maddux too!

Dbo

12:54

Will you be buying a PS5?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

yup

Who's Fabio?

12:54

Aunt Jemima has been retired along with many other outdated brands. When will we see the Barves and Clevelands of the world get up on the new reality?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

I think you'll start to see more of the odder logos start to fade out

probably nto the names themselves

Trent Hauser

12:54

Carlos Beltran or Jim Edmonds, who was more badass?

Dan Szymborski

12:55

Edmonds. You lose badass points by cheating!

Derek

HOT DOGS ARE SANDWICHES

Dan Szymborski

12:55

Lies

It was a grilled cheese patty melt from Friendly's from 10-15 years back. Simultaneously disgusting and delicious, truly the American standard.

Dbo

12:55

are you saying that only certain forms of sliced bread can be a sandwich with that hot dog example? The whole stew in your mouth argument seems silly

Dan Szymborski

12:56

Once the eating actually starts, the battle damage doens't affect what it is

Jake Schultz

12:56

Happy early birthday. I dropped in to your Twitch stream for the Braves/Dodgers game last week and found it far more entertaining than expected. Thanks for doing it.

Dan Szymborski

12:56

We do those every Friday!

Serge

With so many games in so few days for this proposed season, do you see teams going with 6-man rotations?
