are award voters really changing much though? I mean look at Chris Sale 2 years ago, or Clayton Kershaw 4 years ago. You say look at de Grom last year. While true, what was it that won it for him? That's right, ERA.

Dan Szymborski

12:52

Younger crowd can vote more quickly. First year you can vote.

Stuff like Dante Bichette placing 2nd in 1995 unlikely to happen today

12:53

I mean someone just won a cy young with a 10-9 record! Can you imagine that even 15 years ago?

OK, 25 years ago

AND LE ROI WON 13

Mets trying to find a pitching coach short-list:
Van Wagenen: This guy here is dead
Wilpon: cross him off the then

Morosi just reported the Astros are in on Boyd, but aren't willing to give Tucker yet. Tucker pretty much has to go for this deal to happen, right?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

I think so

I'd prefer Juan Soto to David Dahl, though in a world where nothing matters, this discrepancy is not really worthy of typing, much less publishing to your esteemed weekly chat at FanGraphs dot com, Dan.

Followup on 1337 Tatis:BA = .337, xBA = .238; wOBA = .428, xwOBA = .339.

Would one of your cats feel bad about having to eat you?...or would they

Dan Szymborski

Cats are practical

I think the opposite of candy is plain yogurt

Dan Szymborski

12:55

I actually like plain yogurt

Excited to see Cease Wednesday?

At the very least, my complaining about his non callups will cease

In 2013, Scherzer won a Cy Young with 5.9 WAR. In 2016 he won his 2nd with 5.6 WAR. The next year he won his 3rd with 6.3 WAR

It is now 2019, and Max has 5.0 before the break

Dan Szymborski

12:57

I love Scherzer, but like most, I'm biased in favor of things that win me money.

12:58

I don't do any NL MVP/Cy/Rookie betting any longer, sadly. Given that I can be called on in any given year to participate in the awards voting, there's a pretty serious conflict of interest

If I want to see MadBum pitch one last time in SF, can I wait until the Cards series? Or should I go this weekend?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

I think he won't be traded until after the holiday

Kiermaier's Piercing Green Eyes

All Star Game would be 10x better if we just voted on a pool of players and two captains drafted everyone playground-style in a televised event.

Big Cat II? Is there an Andres Galarraga Jr. that I don't know about?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

I always let people figure out my dumbass nicknames that nobody else uses

The Silver Hammer is an easy one

There is no reason to prefer the pronunciation of the place name of the people in the original place. For example, people in Alabama call their home state "Bammer" and that is clearly nonsense. If there were to exist an Alabama in, say, France and they pronounced "Alabama" like a proper human, then we should applaud them.

Scherzer

12:59

If he was traded to an AL team in the next month, does he still win NL Cy Young?

Dan Szymborski

1:00

Probably not

No way Wilpon is worse than Dolan. When Wilpon starts having beloved former players arrested in the stands because they were critical of him maybe we can talk.

cool

Can the Orioles manage a second straight year with their win total less than their division deficit? That seems like it would be an unprecedented feat, needing a team that is so bad it wins only 50 or so, trailing a great team with 100 plus wins. They're currently at 24 wins with a 30.5 game deficit, but you're projecting them to end up with 54 wins and to wind up only 47 games behind the Yankees.

Dan Szymborski

1:00

I think they can do it

LFC Mike

shame the White Sox don’t have a catcher called Desist to catch Cease on Wednesday😂 I’m here all week. Thank You

I would so watch a spinoff in which Drogon starts up a law firm specializing in due process litigation.

I feel bad for Drogon. They didn't have any beef with the people in Kings Landing yet was forced to commit genocide. Now, with Dany dead, they must shoulder the burden of those actions alone. Drogon is clearly an intelligent creature... now it's all alone with its guilt.
