Mike, here's ChatGPT's attempt.

Dansby drives in the first Cubs run of the season. Pretty good way to ingratiate yourself to your new fanbase, right?

Riegning AL stolen base king Jorge Mateo gets his first bag of the season.

Guest

3:12

what will be the maximum number of stolen bases a team gets in a game today? How about all year?

Davy Andrews

3:13

Four? Eight?

Please don't hold me to either of those.

You know what, MadBum is a good call and I don't think any of us had it.

Mayor Eric Adams joins the YES booth and suddenly the Yankees score multiple runs... #4MoreYears!

Davy Andrews

3:14

Don't even joke about this.

White Sox Hank

The Guardians might steal 12 on Yasmani Grandal at some point

Where will Rays rotation rank after Glasnow comes back?

Alex Eisert

3:15

Ben Clemens had them at no. 8 to start the season, right behind the Padres. I could see them moving ahead of the Friars if Glasnow comes back and stays healthy, but not climbing anymore than that (the Braves, at no. 6, are definitely better in my mind unless the Fried injury is significant).

I was a Maya Wiley voter, to be clear.

I was a Garcia voter

Adley about to go yard for the second time. Just watch.....

Who are the best baseball players with the same first and last name (unrelated; not senior and junior) currently active? Best of all time?

Guest

3:18

Braves puzzle me sending down Grissom, and now extending Arcia. What stopped them from moving Albies to SS (he played there in the minors until deferring to Swanson) and installing Grissom at 2B?

Alex Eisert

3:18

I think that there's a lot of hesitancy for teams to move established players to tougher positions once they're already in the majors.

Dan Szymborski

3:18

I would assume right now, the Wills Smith?

Alex Remington

3:18

For best players with same first and last name, I think the Luis Garcias are quite strong. Of all time, I love Bobby J. Jones and Bobby M. Jones, but I think the Frank Thomases might be the best?

Orioles2024

3:18

Frank Thomas

Dan Szymborski

3:18

so all time they don't have to play together?

Gotta be Frank Thomas

lesser Frank Thomas was much better than lesser Frank Gibson

Did the hot dogs knock or ring the doorbell?

Dan Szymborski

3:19

Just showed up at the doorstep and texted me

Zack Kelley feels like the most vanilla middle reliever name in the history of non rays baseball

Royals fan

I liked it better when the neural network suggested "Asthma Pimps" as a new name for Cleveland. Big missed opportunity in my opinion.

Alex Eisert

3:20

What kind of phone do the hotdogs have

Dan Szymborski

3:20

Ah, that was the time I *just* generated Cleveland names

Davy Andrews

3:20

Are you just having lunch now, Dan?

He's as clumsy as he is stupid.

Alex Eisert

Different time zone I believe?

Dan Szymborski

3:21

I'm in ET

but I go to sleep late and wake up late, so this is lunchtime fo rme
