Do you ever visit baseball think factory any more?  It's a ghost town compared to when zips was first released there.  Sad.

If you ever found yourself swept up in an anti-donut protest, would you show solidarity with the mob, or cave for an offer of free donuts?

Dan is going on writing/speaking strike until the Orioles show that at least 10% of the brain cells in the front office are active. .....He will be missed.

If the Red Sox could get Beltre at a reasonable price, should they do that and send Devers down?

I guess I'm generally asking what you think of Devers' chance to be good the rest of this season.
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:51
I like Devers, but I'd want to upgrade Beltre short-term

Isn’t there an underrated chance that the Mariners just fall off a cliff one of these days and start playing sub .500 baseball the rest of the season?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:51
There's always a chance, but I think they're at heart a .510-.520 team

If defensive metrics were better and more available in the 90s and beyond, would Jeter have moved off SS, would he have worked on his fielding more, or would the Yankees have just dismissed the available fielding metrics?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:52
The latter I think.  They'd have let Jeter pitch if he demanded it

Dan's going to be taking on the role of ombudsman for Fangraphs. His first move will be looking into foul play for when Carson made fun of commercials made by long time Boston business owners.

Dude, I've been to your house on Drury Lane
Not that a Muffin Man can afford to live there these days

When my sister was tiny, I used to sing her children's songs, but darkly in a minor key.  One of them was Muffin Man.
It totally helped disturb here
