I think the Devil Rays used some off-green? Maybe I just remember it that way because they sucked so bad.

Dan Szymborski

12:47

yeah, but it wasn't really prominent the way it is with the A's

Drewnasty

12:47

Better movie - Ghostbusters 2 or Robocop 2?

Dan Szymborski

12:47

Ghostbusters

mmddyyyy

12:50

Is 2 the most possible TJS?

Dan Szymborski

12:50

I woudl think you could possibly do more, but I'm unaware of anyone who had more than 2

Did Venters?

Drewnasty

12:50

That is the correct answer. Thank you Dan.

Dan Szymborski

12:50

I didn't know I was getting rated!

MN Dave

Buxton has a NTC, no chance is he traded

Dan Szymborski

12:51

everybody has a price

mmddyyyy

12:52

How many submariners are left in pro ball?

Dan Szymborski

12:52

They are still around!

I can't claim to know every minor league submariner

12:53

but I'd call Rogers/Hill/Thompson as clearly submariner

and then there's a bunch of guys where it depends on your sidearm/submarine cutoff

like lawrence

12:54

and milner

Amen to voting for Santana and DeGrom for the HOF. Spending in this era shows that teams value upper-tier performance far more than consistency/durability. Could you imagine the bidding for Santana today after his '03-'07 run today?

mmddyyyy

12:54

Do pitchers pitch better when they get run support?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

I haven't found a correlation

ajake57

12:54

Yes, Venters had 3

Dan Szymborski

12:54

Yeah, I knew he had three surgeries but didn't remember offhand if one was a shoulder

12:56

Do have to go fairly strictly at 1:00, I'm supposed to drop off my car at the body shop by 1:30

mmddyyyy

12:56

What is your job title?

Senior Writer

Though I don't really get hung up on titles

What does Cal Raleigh need to do to become the MVP frontrunner?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

Possibly murder Aaron Judge and not get caughyt?

Garth

Tejay Antone is working his way back from his 3rd TJS.

ajake57

12:56

Sorry, Venters had 4 TJs!

Dan Szymborski

12:57

Ack

John B

12:57

Jordan Walker - would you send him down one last time or just hang in there?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

Phil

Is Cal Raleigh the best catcher in baseball now? Will Contreras has jit a wall, Rutschman has hit a larger bigger wall, realmuto is on the back 9 and bowling ball kirk can't hit like cal.

Dan Szymborski

12:58

Yes+

Adam
