We're getting better but not THAT much better.

Remember, just a few years ago, *nearly* three-quarters of Hall voters thought Jack Morris should be in the Hall.

When Jack Morris isn't even as good a candidate, IMO, as Kevin Appier.

12:52

Does 1228 2/3 innings of a 6.23 ERA enhance a player's Hall case? Because that's what Appier needed to match Morris's IP and ERA+1228 2/3 of a *6.23*

12:53

I'm not even convinced he's the best Morris not in the Hall (19th century Ed)

Bill

12:53

I feel nauseous after the western style tuna comment. Is that ok?

Dbo

12:53

There’s something that just seems alien about Aaron Judge, he looks like he could be an extra in a MiB movie

Chris

12:53

Awww bad words, Julio Rodriguez has a broken wrist

LFC Mike

12:53

Dan, what is on your opening day menu?

Dan Szymborski

12:53

I dunno!

We'll see how many hours I'm chatting

Chris

12:54

Can teams with players who break their wrist add new minor league players to their taxi squad?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

So long as they don't expect the player back. Removing from the 60 man requires no more season

Trent Hauser

12:54

Anything fishy about the Braves, with their fully subsidized unnecessary new stadium, signing the colluded out starting FA bat for the second year in a row?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

Owners aren't great at keeping secrets, so I'd say no

Beane

12:54

AEW is dealing with the effects of a lot of their talent being stuck in other countries (UK, Japan), and several injuries to the upper level of an already thinned-by-corona womens division

Dan, I think I pissed of Jay the other day. Can you tell him I'm sorry? I'm sorry that he's not more open-minded.

Dan Szymborski

12:54

That's not an apology!

12:55

I'm sorry that _____ [thing you do] _____

is not an apology

What did you do? Jay's a good dude and you shouldn't be a jerk to him.

I guess even if he were a bad dude. Why be a jerk?

Angel Hernandez

12:55

How/does umpiring factor into projections? They stay regional right? Lot of young guns coming in this year but Joe West is still there

Dan Szymborski

12:55

Not at all.

lol

12:55

Orioles ride a surprise Cy young season from John Means, MVP caliber return from Chris Young, and a comeback year from Alex Cobb to win 1/3 of their games

Sounds weird

but then again

imagine in November

12:56

"Next year, the NL will adopt the designated hitter because of a global pandemic!"

Way weirder

Mason

12:56

Pick 1 for this year: Puk, Stripling, Hill, Eovaldi

Dan Szymborski

12:56

Puk

Doug

12:56

How in the world are you going to project MiLB players for next year?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

Erroneously

I think a lot about the artifacts we have from past civilizations- how they were just random things that *happened* to survive all those years and we have to extrapolate so much out of these tiny fragments that no one ever intended to be representative of anything. I like to think that somehow your tv themes will be that artifact that's found in thousands of years or something.

Dan Szymborski

12:57

I would hope our civilization would never end up being defined in history byt hte things I do

Appa Yip Yip

12:57

My dad was a plumber and one time he told a guy not to poop because my dad was working under the pipe that connected to the toilet so he's working away and liquid starts dribbling onto his head and he touches it and it's pee so he storms upstairs and yells at the guy (many swears) and the guy was like you told me not to poo

Guest

12:57

hahaha cheers was the best one so far

Adam

12:57

Which Marlins' color scheme/uniform/logo set has been the best?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

I acutalyl liked the black version with the teal the best.
