Austin Riley can't seem to find his way off the bench lately. Shouldn't the Braves send him down so that he can play everyday?

Dan Szymborski

12:43

I would absolutely send him down to Gwinnett. Is he going to sit his way out of his slump?

Botanically speaking a tomato is a fruit therefore ketchup is a fruit purée. You need to eat fruits and vegetables Dan ...I am sure you mom will be here in this chat soon enough to remind you of that..so have some ketchup.

My mom barely can remember the name of the place I work for!

The Angebros Orioles seems a lot more functional than the Peter Orioles

Dan, thanks for chatting! Do you think that you are enough of a celebrity to one day (hopefully far distant in the future) appear on Wikipedia's 'Recent Deaths' page?

Borderline at best.

I have a wikipedia entry, but it doesn't really make a claim to notability, so I'm not sure why it hasn't been deleted. I don't think it's been updated in over a decade, either

It doesn't even have me with ESPN, who I agreed to join in *2009*

Because the answer to a subtraction problem is the difference! I get it!

if I'm concerned at all about Bauer's behavior, it's that he winged a 300-foot bomb without proper form. injury risk now increased.

How fun could baseball be if all 30 GMs got together in a single room, got super super drunk, and all deals were official?

A winning idea for Winter Meetings!

No one updated Wikipedia to include Chass's article about you? How sad!

Dan Szymborski

12:46

Blogs aren't reliable sources :)

Re: re-trading -- didn't the Twins do that with some pitcher a couple of years ago -- he made like one start with the Twins and was dealt again IIRC

who do you think the most surprising player to move at the deadline will be?

Dan Szymborski

12:46

Well, then it wouldn't be a surprise NOW WOULD IT

So outside of the Orioles top prospects, is there a guy you like, or are high on for some reason?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

Dean Kermer maybe?

Pittsburgh seems like they belong on the dysfunctional list, imo.

Bauer

12:51

He did sic some commenters on that woman online, but still a far cry from, say, Chapman, Russell, etc

Dan Szymborski

12:51

I wouldn't say that about Pittsburgh as a team. *Ownership* yes.

12:53

As for Bauer, that was blown way out of proportion. Bauer didn't exactly cover himself in roses, but when you troll someone on Twitter, it's hard to complain when you're trolled back.

Dbo

12:53

You're a C-List celebrity in our hearts Dan!

Dan Szymborski

12:53

awwww

12:53

Are there any prospects I won't trade?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

The good (?) thing about the Mets is that they don't really have that many prospects that should be considered hands-off outside of an amazing deal

12:55

Outside of, say, Mauricio, is there anyone Mets fans would be truly despondent about losing?

In a reasonable trade of course.

I'm not saying you flip Andres Gimenez for Mychal Givens or something

(OK as an Orioles fan, I'm saying to do that)

CamdenWarehouse

12:55

ahem, it was an article not a blog. just ask him

Dan Szymborski

12:56

Verducci said it was a blog and he's a secondary source!

The last human to edit your article was by someone who goes by FoCuSandLeArN, on January 23, 2016.

I hate random capital letters

Are the Royals really dysfunctional, or just pretty bad? They and the Mets have at least made it to the WS recently, but Mets are definitely dysfunctional. Seems a little harsh for the Royals
