Even if Mercado plays pretty well (.290/.340/.420) for the entire year, he has an uphill climb with what Lowe has already done, plus what we expect guys like Vlad Jr and Eloy to do. And that's without considering any pitchers.

Dan Szymborski

1:23

Yup

Rod

1:23

Why is Nintendo so bad at online gaming?

Dan Szymborski

No real PC blood in them.

Matt

By being a hitter, and in the MLB, isn't Bauers - by definition - a "MLB hitter"?

Dan Szymborski

1:23

Let's assume I'm saying "hitter of the quality we typically associate with a MLB hitter providing positive value offensively."

1:24

I AM NOT TYPING THAT OUT EVERY TIME

Yeah, Joe, I'm not posting that copypasta.

Roberto Beers

Jaffe rhymes with Taffy

1:25

Can you pronounce Dom Luszczyszyn? He may have you in the hard to pronounce last name department. Is that actually a thing?

Dan Szymborski

Dom...Smith?

sandwich of awful

Matt

1:26

I can't come, Dan. I'll be in London.

John

1:26

Will the games in London help towards getting fans in Europe?

Dan Szymborski

1:26

Incrementally

1:27

A few games themselves won't get fans probably, it'll talk a long time of hard work

Overbearing Padre

1:27

The Padres sweep the Brewers then get swept by the Pirates. What do we make of the Padres? Should they do anything this trade deadline?

Dan Szymborski

1:27

The Padres will make acquisitions so long as they don't affec ttheir future

John

1:27

8.3 going to be good, do you miss flying?

Roberto Beers

What do you think of the Hearthstone Hall-of-Fame replacement cards released today?

I was running NL ZiPS and then chatting with you guys

Morbo

When is Jay's chat? I need to ask him if the all star voting this year will screw up future jaws predictions.

Dan Szymborski

1:29

Jay is Thursday noon.

You could just ask him on Twitter

Mike

1:29

Occasionally on TV broadcasts they show a stat that says "This homer would have been a homer in 28/30 ballparks" - do you know if there's a website available for this type of information? I've looked on FG/Baseball Reference/Baseball Savant and can't seem to find it.

Also, I don't feel weird mentioning those other sites on here because I don't view them as FG competition, but I feel like generally people who are interested in this level of baseball statistics also frequent some of those sites as well. But let me know if mentioning them is taboo.

Dan Szymborski

1:30

I honestly don't know the origin of that stat.

other than looking at the charts, but that can be misleading.

As park factors are more than their dimensions

NBA Rules

1:30

Should MLB allow draft picks to be traded like in the NBA? And if you're the Angels GM/Owner, what package of picks would it take to pry him away from you?

Dan Szymborski

1:30

Whiel they should, I'm a little concerned they might increase the boom-bust cycling of too many teams

Ralph Rowdie

1:30

If the Rays leave the Tampa Bay region what is a fan’s best course of rooting action, Marlins? Braves? Following the parent club of one of the local minor league teams?

Braves

Only speaks in Dans

Dan! Dan dan dan, dan dan dan dan? Dan dan dan dan dan dan dan dan. DAN! DAN! DAN! Dan dan dan dan dan dan dan dan dan; dan dan dan dan dan dan dan dan dan. Dan dan dan dan dan dan?
