Maybe.
I made the chat myself so it may not actually be working and each and everyone of you is already dead.

What is Miguel Sano still doing in the minors?  How is this going to shake out?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:03
They're taking their time, realistically speaking the 2018 season is over, so they're being cautious.  Really, he should be slugging 1200 or something down there!

When is Sano back in the show? Doing better but still only single A...

Based on WRC+ and almost all other statistics that do not weigh PA, I am one of the favorites for AL MVP right? Where do you place me?

MVP is at its heart a quantitative award.

TOMLIN IS GONE!!!! (to the DL but i'll take it! take that inertia!!!)

Harper currently sits at 0.0 rWAR.  Might he actually consider accepting qualifying offer to rebuild his value next year?

It's not the craziest, I'm actually tackling it this week.

What the heck has happened to the Mariners?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:06
Let's not forget, they were barely outscoring the opposition a week ago (and are behind now)
2:07
While the Pythag wins are baked into the cake, you can't expect them to be another 10 in the second half

Which pitching prospect are you most excited to see debut in second half of 2018

Keller?

Oakland sellers or still hopeful? Will Treinen get moving giving Lou Trivino a shot at 2H saves?

I don't think they're sellers right now - they're 3 games behidn WC2!

Remember, their last playoff appearance was that collapse year in 2014

Will Marwin Gonzales have a big 2nd half?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:09
Probably not.  He's better than this year's stats, but 2018 is closer to his usual year htan 2017 was

Should the Padres re-sign Galvis and move Tatis to 3rd in 2019?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:09
Yes.  Also, I'm an NL West GM

What is your biggest Orioles related fear?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:09
The Orioles take some of the Machado haul in the form of a low ceiling, high floor prospect or a meh player wiht a few years in the majors
2:10
The nightmare I talk about is the O's getting Nick Ahmed or something.  Probably unlikely, but plausible enough to be scary

Are you buying a Jesse Winker breakout? The only hitters who are top 30 in both Contact % and FB + LD exit velocity are Trout, Betts and Winker. He's also one of only 9 hitters with a BB/K >1.

Yes

The Padres hinted at moving towards brown uniforms in 2020. Why does it take so long to switch uniforms? Why not 2019?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:10
I don't actually know the vagaries of MLB approval and preparations etc.
But it'll nice to see the Padres if they finally get away from Create-a-Team Uniform1

If I add crunched up saltines into my chili then does it stop being a chili similar to how chili does not have beans?

If you're doing it for texture, that's fine.  If you're doing it for TASTE, then it isn't.

Great Futures Game. Anyone especially catch your eye?   Lots of sons worried about momma killing them though.       Trade Analysis: Carson Cistulli  for Eno Sarris and 10 Sandwiches to be named later. Everybody wins. You don't have to be the sandwich muckity muck at Fangraphs anymore and  you can debate condiments all you want.

OMG we are still getting Dan chats now that he actually works here? Does that also mean that you can now answer about the inner workings of FanGraphs?

Before I couldn't answer because I couldn't no.
