And there's no real time to drastically change roster

Honus Wagner

12:13

Is it worth it to drop Austin Riley for Carter Kieboom now that Zimmerman has opted out?

Dan Szymborski

12:13

It really depends on team needs. DH helps Riley's PT

Adam

12:13

How many home runs leads the majors this year?

Dan Szymborski

12:13

20?

In the short 60 games MLB season (should it fully occur), what outstanding occurrence would you like to see achieved and by who? (could be individual player or team)

Dan Szymborski

12:14

Cy Young winner with no wins!

A Tribe Called Kipnis

12:14

If teams play 60 games (and assume injuries and positive tests are distributed equally), which team uses the most players and how many?

Dan Szymborski

12:14

Mariners because Trader Jerry will make 47 trades in 66 days.

Is a jibarito a sandwich? Using plantains instead of bread bothers me

Dan Szymborski

12:14

sandwich

Billy Beane

12:14

Hey, Dan.

Dan Szymborski

12:14

Dbo

12:14

What’s your ideal meal on the 4th of July? Do you eat hot dogs?

Dan Szymborski

12:14

I like ribs

A Tribe Called Kipnis

12:14

Will there be more openers this year?

Dan Szymborski

12:15

I think so. I suspect tandem type games the biggest jump

Derek

12:15

What weird thing do you most want to see happen this season?

Dan Szymborski

12:15

We get through a season and nobody in a front office/coaching staff dies!

Adam

12:15

Do the Dodgers get next in line for hosting the All Star Game?

Dan Szymborski

12:16

I suspect they do. Not sure how many years ahead htey have planned

Jimminy

12:16

Can somebody at FG write an article to reflect the owner's perspective? I don't think it is as simple as "billionaires don't want baseball because of pure greed."

Dan Szymborski

12:16

It's probably not simple, but it's the side that outright lies about things, so it's hard to see things from their perspective.

You don't see players making up numbers and telling them to Bob

Ben

12:16

Szymbobski's in da house!

Stevil

12:17

How can MLB actually keep the names of players who test positive for the virus confidential (without their consent) if they have to be placed on the Covid-19 IL? If they're not on the active roster and not on the regular IL...

Dan Szymborski

12:17

Realistically, they have to *officially* not talk about it, but everyone will know.

If Clayton Kershaw suddenly disappears and there's no talk about his arm, people are going to know he got COVID, not that he decided to become a monk in tibet

TomBruno23

12:17

I exercise, but also consume 90% of my calories in the form of alcohol, tortilla chips and salsa. Will I be ok?

Dan Szymborski

12:17

See how long I survive

Adam

12:17

Who would be the most satisfying out-of-nowhere SSS-induced "fluke" MVP/Cy Young winners this year? Rooting for Rich Hill, personally.

Dan Szymborski

12:19

Trevor Bauer Cy Young

I have to admit, I love how he drives writers nuts without really saying anything all that awful

Toby

12:19

Where does Puig end up? Why hasn't it happened yet? Is he waiting out to see if more players opt-out of the season?

Dan Szymborski

12:19

I'm not sure. It should have

Mitch Haniberg

12:19

Every time I hit the showers, I assume there's someone else on the planet showering. So I say, 'I'm gonna go shower, too.'

Jimminy

12:19

I think the general perspective I've seen from a lot of authors here can be a bit disingenuous and narrow sighted. (big fan, I don't want to sound too harsh)

Dan Szymborski

12:19

Everybody has their blind spots, including us (and including you!)

TomBruno23

12:20

Hahaha oh yeah Doug DeCinces and his 4 days as a Cardinal at the end of 1987. Kicking myself on that one. But, I am blessed enough to say I saw DeCinces and Sabo as Cardinals and Piazza as a Marlin all at the old Busch. Memories.

Cakes&Kakes

12:20

I had a dream that both you and Brandon Fahey were at my birthday party. That's it. I don't remember any other context, but I just wanted you to know Dan.
