"I'd love a deep dive into Jimy Wynn actually" what an interesting sentence

Eric

The 1973 Braves had 3 players with 40 homers. Aaron, Davey Johnson and Darrell Evans

Paxton

12:52

Paxton has a 3.5 ERA and is averaging more than 6 IP in August. It seems like his knee hurts less, basically.

Why would the Cubs start Lester? I get that he's a post-season veteran but you can argue he shouldn't even be in the playoff rotation right now.

Dan Szymborski

12:53

Inertia. I should note he essentially has the same FIP as last year

Justin Verlander

12:53

I’m not showing any signs of aging, right? I’m just getting better and better, agree?

Dan Szymborski

12:53

Seems the case

Johnny

12:54

Question: If Jeff Bagwell played in the new Yankee Stadium instead of the Astrodome... would he have hit 940 home runs?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

It's nto THAT much

Now, if he played only the Orioles...

Dan

12:54

Wait, Americans emphasize the first syllable of innovative too. It's just a long vs short A distinction

Dan Szymborski

12:54

Yeah, correct, I described it wrong

Dbo

12:54

I'm not a conspiracy theorist but it is interesting that this season has the most multi-HR games ever, do you think the balls could possibly be juiced?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

NEVER AND AAA IS A COINCIDENCE

Jordan

12:55

does every fanbase of a rebuilding turned contender team whine like braves fans about not getting enough attention for the team?

Dan Szymborski

12:55

There are two things that every fan believes

That their favorite team does not get the proper respect

and that their bullpen is the worst ever and they'd win 20 more games with a better closer

Syndergaardengnomes

So sorry to hear about Galileo...

Thanks! Rough week.

Guest

12:55

Cleveland recommendations?

Dan Szymborski

12:55

Go to the one in OHio

Or if you don't mean the city, Reggie

Bigfoot Erotica

12:55

Don't have a question, just want to say I was very sorry to hear about your loss.

Dan Szymborski

12:56

Thanks! I'ts appreciated.

Johnny

12:56

nvm that.... ballparks dot com has Colt Stadium Dimensions

EL

12:56

What should the Giants do with Posey next season?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

I'm not sure they really have much to do worthwhile than to keep playing him and slowly curtailing his workload.

Until Bart pushes on the door

Ryu

12:57

In Jaffe's chat last week, he suggested (with good reason) I was likely to win the CYA because my ERA was like 1.6, despite others leading in WAR. But the Yankees didn't want any part of that. Would Scherzer have a good shot if he returns soon?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

If writers move off Ryu, I think degrom gets more votes than scherzer thanks to playing time

DJ Tanner

12:57

How bad is the Dodgers trading of Yordan Alvarez for Josh Fields going to look in 10 years?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

It's not looking like one of their best results for sure!

12:58

Though Alvarez wasn't an elite prospect really at the time

Dbo

12:58

When will you give us your take on melts, do I need to do a breakdown and post it on youtube?

Dan Szymborski

12:58

You're being robbed of bread

and you're losing the benefits of the sandwich form factor

On that note, it is time for me to head off for another week! Thanks for joining me everyone!

cool
