Braves

Same as my preseason pick.

Uncle Rone

12:49

Where do you see Bohm fitting into the Phillies lineup?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

For now, he's likely picking up some Scott Kingery playing time

Now, Gosselin's in there too

12:50

Given that Bohm hasn't played above AA, I dont' expect an instant surge of PA

12:51

but I think he'll get spot starts, a little pinch-hitting

Guest

Do robot umps dream electric strikezones?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

Robot umps dream about electric crappy calls

Armadillofury

12:52

How worrying is Hiura's inability to make contact (23% swstk) in the early going?

Dan Szymborski

12:52

I think he's been over-aggressive. He was always going to be aggressive but he's still a bit raw and I think pitchers have been taking advantage of this

12:54

Hendricks did

12:55

(Sorry, trying to remember the games I've sene him)

Sonny

12:55

There should never be a weekday without a day game in 2020. So many of us are homebound Rob!

Guest

12:55

When do we print Orioles playoff tickets for games we can't attend?

Guest

12:55

"It would be like awarding Michelin stars based on which chefs cook the best omelet while sitting in a roller coaster car with a hotplate."

I would watch that. Make it happen!

12:55

Soft ejection for Contreras last night. Are we tossing everyone who ever slams a bat now?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

It was a little much

The first base ump should have been making that call, it was a bit bullshit

Jazz

12:56

Is Vlad Jr just Yandy Diaz with a better pedigree right now?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

ouch

there's concern, but let's not go nuts. Vladito is still very young

12:57

If the Cubs run away with the division will they have to return it and say sorry?

Guest

12:57

You played CrossCode yet, Dan? If not, why not? Do as I say!

Dan Szymborski

12:57

I have not. I'm aware -- and I may already own it -- but my Steam queue is daunting

Justin

12:57

I’m an expansion team in a dynasty league. I traded Kyle Lewis (who’ll be ~28 by the time my farm system gets promoted) and Corbin Carroll for Nomar Mazara and Jarred Kelenic. Did I do OK?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

Yes

2B conundrum

12:57

C Biggio, L Urias, J Villar or T Edman. who should i ride with for a 12 team keeper?

Dan Szymborski

12:58

Biggio probably the safest

I'm still a Urias stanner

jerome

12:58

What should the yankees do about Andujar? Was 2018 a mirage or is he that kind of player

Dan Szymborski

12:58

It's so hard because he doesn't really have a position

12:59

It's not like he had an amazing minor league history either

Salami

12:59

How much variance is going to be added to the current crop of minor leaguers projections considering we have a full season with no data?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

I'm not going to "add" variance as I have no basis for missed season consequences ofr prospects. I just expect the projections to be worse than usual for a year or two

(and that's for everybody really)

Go Cougs

1:00

Who do you think the worst player in the MLB currently is and why is it Jake Lamb? I think because he went to uw

Dan Szymborski

1:01

Chris Davis is so awful that if he had gone to Washington, they'd end their baseball program out of shame.

Sammy

1:01

Who do you value more at the moment, Goldschmidt or Rizzo for points leagues? Given that the Cards have 55 games remaining, that certainly inflates his value
