Make three ice creams: mustard, hot dog, and hot dog roll. Then you have Neapolitan hot dog ice cream.

I was just in suburban Dayton and the folks behind me at a middle eastern counter service place didn't know what falafel or shawarma were.

Dan Szymborski

2:50

now that's weird!

Fang Raphs

2:50

Oh, man, I forgot you were in Dayton. Hoping all those close to you are okay and weren't directly affected by the shooting

Dan Szymborski

2:50

Nobody I know was involved in that

2:51

Someone close to my friend/former editor Christina Kahrl was injured though.

The area is one I could be on a Saturday night if I'm stuck being social

Go to Blind Bob's just across from where the shooting is all the time

2:52

Blind Bob's, by the way, has BOURBON BEER BATTERED PINEAPPLE RINGS

Dan, what are you thoughts on ordinance prohibiting use of jake brakes?

Dan Szymborski

2:53

I can see how noise is an issue. One could say that you have the right to a sound until it's physically hurting someone's ear?

Matt Harvey

2:53

Will i pitch again in the majors this year?

Dan Szymborski

2:53

No

Dan...I knew you were in Ohio but I did not know you were in Dayton. I can’t begin to imagine what it was like this past weekend. Unfortunately The “Thoughts and Prayers” just don’t cut it anymore....

Dan Szymborski

2:53

Yeah, southern suburbs

Matt

2:53

Tauchman not starter material?! He seems to be made of the same materials that the other starters are. Flesh, blood, bone, muscle, etc.

If you were a public figure, wouldn't it be fun to go onto forums under your own name and say random shit, knowing that no one will ever believe it's actually you?

Dan Szymborski

2:54

I usually go into forums with my real name.

Because people who don't and have a public presence have a tendency to say embarrassing things under false names that are inevitably outed

Chuncey Wiggins

2:54

What would Soroka have to do to win the NL ROY?

Dan Szymborski

2:54

Well, be better than Tatis/Alonso

Matt

Without zoning laws, then the infield would be in the outfield, Dan.

Dan Szymborski

2:54

Zoning laws will kills the shift

Joe West, Angel Hernandez, Alcides Escobar and the local Sky Line Chili manager knock on your front door: Finish the joke_____________________________

Dan Szymborski

Like any of them could follow a map

Trades

2:55

Don't think i ever saw this - what team's projections changed the most due to trades? Biggest changes in playoff odds, World Series odds?

Dan Szymborski

2:55

I didn't do that approach simply because it was mostly a bunch of relievers that were exchanged.

Mets went up the most though

Chris

2:55

If quizzed, how many big league players would be able to provide a simple explanation of xFIP?

Dan Szymborski

2:56

a dozen maybe?

HappyFunBall

At some point during the offseason, FG should have a chat with NO BASEBALL. Only beer, BBQ, sandwich definitions and the like. The point? To bring back the alums who are probably not allowed to talk baseball in a public forum.
