Why in the world aren’t the Giants selling? They are eventually gonna end up like the Tigers right now, no?

Dan Szymborski

2:32

They want to give it another go in 2019.

Scott

2:32

What would it honestly take for the Phillies to give up to get Trout?

Dan Szymborski

2:32

I think they'd have to give so much that it would be a bad diea

liam

2:32

What are the chances Sonny Gray gets moved, and where do you see him going if he is traded?

Dan Szymborski

2:32

He's not going moved, but he may be increasingly marginalized.

2:32

In August 2016 we saw Gary Sanchez blow up. In August 2017 we saw Hoskins blow up. Who you got in August 2018?

Dan Szymborski

2:33

Since I'm always punished by the fates for saying bat things about the Royals, watch post-groin injury Brian Goodwin hit .500 or something.

Landa

2:34

What's been going on with Odor lately?? Just a hot streak or has something changed?

Dan Szymborski

2:34

I was starting to lose faith. I thought he'd bounce back, but he didn't for motnhs.

Now he's gone insane. I'll have to dig through some of the split advanced data

Jake

2:34

is Omar Narvaez a decent starting Catcher? Like league average? I feel like I do a double take when I see how competent his batting line is but I know his receiving is rough

Dan Szymborski

2:35

I'm a skeptic.

Landa

2:35

Fangraphs has Wheeler as throwing a Splitter and a Changeup - is this a classification issue or does he really throw two different "offspeed" pitches?

Dan Szymborski

2:35

He actually has a splitter that he's been trying to throw somewhat this season.

2:36

Intentionally.

There's more gray area among pitches than a lot of people think.

greg

2:36

Cat update please.

Cassiopeia is sitting on the couch going to sleep. I have her toy hedgehog (Hedge Fund) so she probably won't bother me for awhile.

Galileo is sitting next to me, making his case for dinner.

I last saw Mercutio at about noon running into one of the guest rooms because even though he's nine, he's freaked out by low chords on the piano.

2:38

(I'm muddling my way through the rakoczy march Hungarian Rhapsody of Liszt at the moment)

Perennial Ballboy Tryout

2:38

What does Peanut Gallery do?

Dan Szymborski

2:38

You can reply to things and people can read them!

And I cna't do anything about it!

Johnny Coconuts

2:38

Why hasn't Tommy Pham played left field more? He was so good in that role last season?

Dan Szymborski

2:38

Because they have Ozuna this year.

mario mendoza

2:38

wait are peanuts good or bad? I like peanuts. And if you were a performing elephant you would like to have peanuts.

Dan Szymborski

2:39

As long as you're not allergic, peanuts are terrific.

Miguel

Luis Castillo had a very good outing yesterday. Where do you see him settling in in the Reds' rotation over the next few years?

Dan Szymborski

2:39

I still think he has serious ace potential.

Drew

2:39

Do the Indians add an impact bat before tomorrow afternoon?

Dan Szymborski

2:39

I think they'll play it fairly low-key without real division anxiety.

Aggressively Mediocre

2:39

Do you expect the Orioles to overcompensate in international free agent signings for a year or two and spend money just to spend it rather than actually finding value?

Dan Szymborski

2:39

No.

But even if they do, it's a nice change.

Ryan

2:39

Nats are off today. If you are Mike Rizzo, do you sell or hold?

Dan Szymborski

2:39

Sell.

andy

2:39

shouldn't the rockies be doing everything they can to add an impact player? they're awful close to being a playoff team right now (and are a few bryan shaw epic collapses away from being in the driver's seat) and seem like they might be falling down the pirates path.

Dan Szymborski

2:39

Yes.
