I like ketchup on my hotdogs but I don't like hotdogs.

Dan Szymborski

12:45

If you wanted to abuse hot dogs, ketchup is a good way to do it

Padres458

12:45

No cheese on a hotdog?

Dan Szymborski

12:46

Not personally a fan

Old school

12:46

did you ever play/use "Mario teaches typing"?

Dan Szymborski

12:46

I did not. I was already a touch-typer before than came out

Ryan

12:46

What NL Central team will be the best from 2020-2024?

Dan Szymborski

12:46

I think Cardinals are the safest bet simply becuase the Cardinals have this permanent 84-90 win tier.

Sad Javy

12:46

Dan, can you cheer me up about the Cubs?

Dan Szymborski

12:47

Flags fly forever or until baseball becomes unprofitable

Padres458

12:47

How much did the padres hurt their world series aspirations by signing hosmer

Dan Szymborski

12:47

It's hard to make a % case, but it wasn't a good use of resources.

Serious question

12:47

Strasburg can be given a QO if he opts out, correct?

Dan Szymborski

12:47

I believe so but am not certain

Dan, my mom says that I'm not allowed to use the internet anymore until I get a job. She says a 31 year old spending all his time in his mon's basement arguing about sandwiches on a baseball chat isn't "healthy". You know anyone looking for a roommate?

Dan Szymborski

12:48

You should get a job!

Then you can have your OWN basement

Serious question

12:48

Well, Dipoto is still their GM, so someone will be traded

Morbo

12:48

who eats tacos at a pet store? THEY ARE JUST FEEDING YOU DEAD PETS!

Matt

How can you say that Mike Trout is even the best player *this season*?!?! Even Adam Wainwright has more wins than him.

Dan Szymborski

12:48

ha!

Sean

Why do people keep thinking Zac Gallen is going to regress? He gets a ton of swinging strikes and has four very good pitches. He seems like a potential Cy Young contender, at least in a single season, within the next few years

Also re: Gallen - his batted ball profile is really, really good, Combine that with great strikeout potential and he has insane upside

Dan Szymborski

12:49

I think people are saying he's going to regress because he has a 2.66 ERA

Spaceman

12:50

Do you consider moving this chat to another website since only 10% of it is about baseball?

Dan Szymborski

12:50

It's way more than 10%

I'm not the one asking the questions!
