Hi everybody!

Jeff Zimmerman

9:01

Need to fill last two spots on my rotation, who do you pick from the following? Can play now, or hold and see (deep bench):

Musgrove, Bundy, Norris, Cotton, Gsellman

Paul Swydan

9:01

Off the top of my head, Cotton and Gsellman.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:02

Agree

Tim

9:02

Asked previously and ignored.

Do you take the over or under on Kershaws K:BB ratio from last year?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:02

Under, he had a good season.

Paul Swydan

9:02

It was 15.64, for those who don't know. I'll take the under.

Brandon

9:03

lana, LANA, LAAAANA
danger zone

Paul Swydan

9:03

I love the way they ended that running joke by Lana not knowing who Kenny Loggins is.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:03

Who?

Paul Swydan

9:04

Oh Jeff.

Los

9:04

Random question that I have been thinking a lot about for some reason. Let's say you have a perfectly average starter that we named Tim Wakefield. Mr. Wakefield is guaranteed to have the same career as his predecessor and comes with the bonus of being signed to a contract at the league minimum for 20 years. How much trade value would this hypothetical player/contract have?

Paul Swydan

9:04

A lot.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:05

20 years and guaranteed innings. Tons

BTW, I am watching the Sea-Hou game. I love matching McCullers

Paul Swydan

9:06

I've got 4 games going - all but CHC-STL.

Barry from Boston

9:07

What's the deal with Price? Always yapping on Twitter, making excuses and giving criptic remarks about his injury. Is he a $200M bust?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:07

I can do the four games

Paul Swydan

9:07

I assume Barry from Boston is just trolling us, but I wanted to post the question for fun.

MattyMo

9:08

Sell high on Ruggy Odor? His plate discipline makes me timid...

Paul Swydan

9:08

I would!

Jeff Zimmerman

9:08

Adam Jones clone.

MattyMo

9:10

Jon Gray is not going to be a Pineda/Robbie Ray type, right?

Paul Swydan

9:10

I don't think in reality he will, but he pitches at Coors Field, so it may look like that on his stat line.

Yesterday he was absolutely CRUISING through four, and then he hit a bad patch in the 5th. That will happen every now and again.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:10

No, multiple pitches, sucks that he lost the curve's effectiveness in Coors

MattyMo

9:11

Lance McCullers strikes out how many tonight?

Paul Swydan

9:12

I haven't seen his total, so I'll blindly say 8.

Ooh, he already has 5.

Looks like I'll be off!

Jeff Zimmerman

9:12

Just a couple more, 7.

Dahl Makhani

9:13

Most disappointing thing to see in this young season: Joc getting benched against Clayton Richard. If he's not facing Richard, he's not facing many lefties

Paul Swydan

9:14

Yeah, that is disappointing. I don't know that it definitively means he won't face many lefties though, the Dodgers have plenty of OF depth. Though I'll agree it doesn't bode well.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:14

Truth. But I am not a huge Joc fan.

MattyMo

9:14

ROS Hanley or Hosmer? (I just wanted to say rest of season after only 1 game😉)

Paul Swydan

9:14

hahaha, glad we can bring that back!
