My grandfather, on the other hand, appeared to have enjoyed WWII. And every pitcher of him in his unit, he was the smallest one and always looked the happiest.

If the Tigers keep developing pitching prospects, are Niko Goodrum and Jacoby Jones going to be enough offense?

Dan Szymborski

12:45

Probably not.

If all cats are curious, and curiosity kills the cat, how have they survived as a species? I get the nine lives thing, but given their curiosity is perpetual, I’m just not buying that.

Dan Szymborski

12:45

What's forgotten is that the cat usually kills curiosity

Myles Straw was awesome fun over the weekend. Dives, steals, that 'routine' grounder to Semien he beat out by a full step. Home runs are fun, but so is that :).

In the movies Homeward Bound, why is Chance given a bad rap? Seems Shadows insistence that home is just the other side of the mountain is what almost got the whole gang killed.

I actually did not see it, so someone else would need commentary.

Hey Dan. I need SP help. Any long-term value in Plesac or Smeltzer - or just mirages?

Dan Szymborski

12:47

They're both at least interesting. Depends on what the other choices are

What can the Mariners expect to receive in return for their veterans if they eat some money?

Dan Szymborski

Still not that much

Your wethead picture made you look like the mayor from any small town in Fla. that got busted for running a huge meth operation.....

Dan Szymborski

12:47

If I were on meth, I'd be thinner!

Is a sloppy joe a half-assed chili sandwich?

Dan Szymborski

12:47

Yes

Brewers keep Hiura up, then there's 4 players for 2 spots at 1B and 2B. Recipe for nobody being happy.

The Dodgers manage

How can I get out of my daughters dance performance this weekend? I love her, but it’s at Disneyland and a) it’s this Saturday b) right as summer vacation starts c) in the opening month of the Star Wars thing.

Dan Szymborski

Burner phone + bomb threat?

Is Shaw a bench bat when comes back or starter?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

I think it's likely he becomes a sub

In the short term

Hey Dn, when you say there is data smoothing do you mean, you smooth the data or the stringers do?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

I smooth the data

12:49

How much of park effects are temperature? Would it make sense to adjust for temperature first, then park residuals?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

Honestly, I've never tried to isolate it.

12:50

Since climate "comes with" the stadium in a sense that we're rpedicting

oops
