Nice armpit breakdown on the Royals broadcast, "one of the warmest places to put your fingers"

If Pablo Sandavol can get caught liking girls’ photos on Instagram during a game, I’m sure that’s got to be a mlb player here right now

I can't see Shaq now without thinking of his gas money discussion

I hate players getting hurt. Sucks.

I don’t like the projections

Especially when the guy getting hurt is one of the team's most exciting players who we were hoping to see back to full strength at the plate :(
Steven Sousa

And I’m spelling my name wrong to stay incognito. You’ll never guess who I am

I feel like Grienke could pull off jumping into this chat between innings without any of us knowing

The souzaphone is a tuba that was assigned to minor league camp.

(it was a goofy tweet, but the guy didn't make the roster and probably wasn't having a great week - we're aren't always gracious in those moments)

Greinke could be a ghost writer for Fangraphs

So nice my son is still playing major league ball isn't it, Dan? Celebrating opening day with a nice bowl of chili....without beans per your recommendation.
Ben Clemens

No one has ever seen me and Greinke in the same place at the same time
AvatarDan Szymborski

Did you make the chili?

Is it just me, or is the yankees pitching massively underrated? #1 in Rotation and BP projection WAR. Yet on MLBxm and mlb network, all I hear is how their pitching isnt good enough (AND their D is greatly improved)

"Mike Sixel:I hate players getting hurt. Sucks." Only solution is to force all players to become cyborgs. And I for one welcome our new cyborg overlords.
Meg Rowley

Not sure what their specific complaint is but a lotttt of that rotation projection is Cole
AvatarDan Szymborski

This was supposed to be baseball in 2020.
Ben Clemens

The complaint is "Meg have you seen the Yankees pitching? I know they all suck, I heard it on drive time radio, Jameson Taillon isn't a winner"
4:49
It's more nuanced by that but.... like, not a ton

Did you enjoy it?
Meg Rowley

Yeah, that tracks.
Steven Sousa

Thanks for understanding, Meg.
Ben Clemens

Having a bunch of pretty okay pitchers behind Gerrit Cole is good even if they aren't Proven Winning Yankees (tm)
Testing if Grienke is here
4:49
Chipotle has very reasonable priced guacamole
Meg Rowley
4:49
Agreed there for sure
That was about Yankees pitching
Ben Clemens
4:49
ooh Meg I ambushed you with the timing of releasing that one
Meg Rowley
4:50
don't have a considered view on Chipotle guac

I'm Victor Caratini, and I'm using the pitchcom to comment
Ben Clemens

but just so you guys know: I'm not actually Greinke, which is how I managed not to respond to that

Dan, if Chili Davis were still active, and the Reds wanted him to be their everyday DH, would you object?  Or would he have to change his name to "Bean Meat N Cinammon Stew Davis"???

Even with the massive advancement of statistical analysis and analytics, how much do you think big leaguers benefit/suffer from looking the part/not looking the part?
