Possibly a little more so

Fewer starting pitchers needed plays into their strengths

And with teams using relievers aggressively, deeper teams can do better at matchups on the emargins

Which MLB fan base would win the sad-off: Mets, Rockies, or Mariners?

Dan Szymborski

1:05

Mets for sure

Mariners fans don't strike me as all that beat down in this era

Like in the Smulyan days

And Rockies fans aren't really sad. They still pack the stadium. It's a beautiful city and a beautiful place to play

1:06

There's frustration among the diehards of course, but I don't think more than any bad team

I actually talk a bit about the mindset of Mets fans in my FanGraphs Audio segment with Jay tomorrow

1:07

Mets fans have this very Russian kind of fatalism

Worse owner: Smulyan or Argyros?

Dan Szymborski

Probably Smulyan

Smulyan *never* really had the capital to pull it off

How risky is it to sign Robbie Ray to a long term big money deal? Is his performance sustainable?

Dan Szymborski

Depends if he has a constantly supply of tight pants.

I appreciate it!

And finding the one person not wishing me any *specific* harm seems like a good point to wrap things up.

Thanks for coming everyone, hope to see you all next week!
