Eno Sarris' Sandwhich Induced Nightmares

4:50

what's with the big strike zones today?

Ryan

4:51

This has next to nothing to do with opening day, but is there any way to export the data from the roster resource offseason tracker

Dan Szymborski

4:51

If I'm not mistaken, ther'es an export .xls button for subscribers

Ben Clemens

Jim Edmonds just described Albert Pujols as "one of the best right-handed hitters on the planet" and I hope he means like, overall

not currently

Luke Hooper

4:51

Ha! Love the Super Baseball 2020 shoutout, Dan

Jason

4:52

There is an export button. Just checked

Someone please make a clever sentence from this: which, with, win, Witt, Whit

Morbo

4:53

Super Baseball 2020 clearly occured in the non-covid timeline

Guest

4:53

In which Witt wins with whit.

Meg Rowley

I think the place looking the part still impacts players most is before they're big leaguers - I think we have a better understanding of athleticism, and a better understanding of how guys can change their bodies, but there are still guys who get dismissed out of hand because of some aspect of their physicality.

Appa Yip Yip

4:53

Wow are you guys talking about paying extra for guac when Zack Greinke is on the mound. The disrespect. You can't let the burrito place win. Zack doesn't.

4:53

What's wrong with "best first baseman in NL history" for a Pujols description?

Ben Clemens

4:54

Depends on how you feel about some guys who moonlighted at first late in their careers, but yeah, I think I can see it

Heath Bell Crunch

4:54

Watch What Whit Watches With Witt When We Win!

Dan Szymborski

4:54

You can get a sandwhit at kauffman.

Morbo

4:55

Prediction: Bill DeWitt Jr already has more world series rings than Bobby Witt Jr will acquire in his career

Dan Szymborski

4:55

You didn't say win. Witt can easily buy some

4:55

Clint Frazier PH double! I hope he can put it together a bit with the Cubs this year

5 Run Homer

4:55

Greatest 1B in NL history depends on what position you think of for Stan Musial, I think

Dan Szymborski

4:56

I think of Musial as an OF

Ben Clemens

4:56

Hank Aaron played 2000 innings of first too

I think of them both as outfielders

Frank Thomas the Tank Engine

4:56

Never get a sandwhit (or sandwich) at Kauffman. The only good food is ice cream.

Ben Clemens

4:57

Turns out, it's good to have a Gold Glove shortstop at second

4:58

Nicky Lopez is good

I saw Nicky Lopez hit a home run in Fall League and I've been bought in ever since

Uh.... the homers never came, but he's still great

Johnny5Alive

4:59

the padres-twins trade kill anyone else's teams? I owned Robert Suarez in all my leagues :(

Luke Hooper

4:59

Suarez could still be in the mix. Especially if Bob Melvin wants to use his new lefty in more unique ways.

Ryan

4:59

I am $25 poorer and now have all of the excel spreadsheets I could ever want.

Meg Rowley

4:59

The site thanks you!

Brian

4:59

how big of a failure is opening day without ANY national coverage?

Meg Rowley

4:59

Not a significant one?

Farhandrew Zaidman

5:00

What percentage of active major leaguers do you think primarily played SS growing up? Related, do you think there's more of an appetite for massive SS (a la Tatis and Seager) than say 20 years ago?

Dan Szymborski

5:00

a LOT

hell, kevin mitchell and danny tartabull made it in the minors

Luke Hooper

5:00

Opening day and the Masters overlapping is not ideal for either sport

Heath Bell Crunch

5:00

Margot's extension mean Kiermaier done in TB?

5:00

Nicky Lopez made the Fangraphs top 30 WAR list for 2021 with just 2 HR. Next lowest within the top 30....Starling Marte with 12 HR.
