Can we agree that Larry Scott needs to be fired as PAC 12 commissioner?

Dan Szymborski

12:23

I don't know enough.

I Have to Know

If I take piece of rye bread place a piece of wheat bread over it and place another piece of rye bread over it...will I have a bread sandwich?.....or a pathetic empty life?

Dan Szymborski

12:23

both

Will there be a schedule specific 60 game ZIPS?

Dan Szymborski

12:23

yup

Do you have an opinion on Potbelly marketing itself as a "Sandwich Shop"?

Dan Szymborski

12:23

You can brand yourself anything you want

12:24

I can call myself Dan Szymborski, Commissioner of Sexy if I want to

Dan Szymborski

I think he'll get more in later of the year

Toad in the Hole Grilled Cheese!...My summer is complete...

Maybe an article idea? highlighting who will be the long relief/mop up guy for all the teams (and when it isn't known - some good speculations)?

Dbo

12:25

So is a lettuce wrap with two pieces of lettuce a sandwich because of the pressure going in the same direction?

Dan Szymborski

12:25

as long as there's no hinge

Dbo

12:25

LFC Mike, do you use butter or margarine for your grilled cheese?

Dan Szymborski

12:25

if it's margarine I may hae to ban him

Billy Beane

12:25

You had a Juicy Lucy? What kind of cheese did you use/have?

Erik

12:25

Why do you think 16" softball never caught on outside of Chicago (maybe Portland), seems perfect for parks tight on space in cities. Even seems to be dying out in Chicago a bit too

Dan Szymborski

12:25

pimento cheese

Dunno.

Jon

Proposal: 80 game season then start international play, like soccer.

LFC Mike

12:26

My 2 favorite minor league pitchers to track this year were going to be McKenzie Gore and Sixto Sanchez. Do either franchises put them in the show for a 60 game development experiment or ?? . Are organized practices or extended spring training an option in a "Need to be Covid tested world"? These guys just cant sit a full year can they?

Dan Szymborski

12:26

I'm not sure even teams know exactly what they're going to do.

This year is just so weird.

That's the problem with 2020, it's not just awful, but awful in a WEIRD way

Dbo

12:26

raise your hand if you have the highest contract in all of sports. Now put your hand down Mike Trout

Jon

12:26

Who has the biggest advantage in a shortened season? Playoff teams that had pitchers with heavy workloads in 2019? Teams that are top heavy?

Dan Szymborski

12:26

I think teams with depth get a bonus

LFC Mike

12:27

Over the history of your projections has there been a player that stands out that you consistently were spot on correct about or was there one frustrating player you could never get your projections close to his numbers.

Dan Szymborski

12:27

Luckily, the bias is easier to deal with than the accuracy

I used to have issues with always getting Kevin Gryboski wrong

Are you surprised that MLBTV readily refunded a prorated subscription? I just assumed they would keep my money, so I’m pleasantly surprised to have received $50 back.

Dan Szymborski

12:27

They probably figured they'd end up dealing with chargebacks anyway

LFC Mike

12:28

Butter is better

Dbo

12:28

Merkts cheddar is a poor excuse for cheese

Chris

What color uniform should a new expansion team have?
