If Altuve can turn a DP, it might be 4-3 right now. (fallacy of the predetermined outcome be damned)

It was forgivable last time, but Smoltz is going to tell a Siri joke every time he sees Siri

Beat writers have to stick around for the press conference and then write their stories. They've got two hours left when the announcers go home.

I always feel guilty at the end of games. The writers are all loading up into the elevator to head down to the dugout

This is the 2021 ERod I remember. Not putting guys away and throwing 25+ pitches in an inning

Callback to Dumbass Jay of 8:05 PM: "i'd like to believe that just once the Red Sox can play a game at Fenway that doesn't last 4 hours."
We're nearly two hours in and not even done with the top of the 4th.

You didn't say you believed that, only that you'd like to believe it!

What is your favorite fantasy team name?  I personally like "Veteran Presence," given my penchant for drafting players who have big name value but are past their prime.

back when I still played — now more than 10 years ago — my favorite was El Maximo Jaffe.

It’a a good ‘ole North Carolina chili cook-off.

oooo, I'd try to push it towards the flavor profile of the BBQ part of the state you're in

Don't use tomatoes unless you're in a lexington-style area

Is Tucker doomed to a career of Trout-like non-recognition because he looks and acts like a default character in MLB The Show?

What computer games have you been playing recently, Dan?  (Or Jay,  if Jay plays any.)

Been playing New World
And Hearthstone

We’re in the border between vinegar based verse tomato based BBQ. Personally not a fan of the vinegar based so now I’m at a loss.

Depends on what you think the testers will prefer then!
The goal of a cookoff is to WIN not make the most legit chili
If I participated in a cincy-area cookoff, I'd do the whole cincy stuff

Fun fact: no one else in MLB history has had the name "Xander" or "Bogaerts."
AvatarDan Szymborski

I would have guessed another Xander
9:59
No Zanders either
though Zander Wiel will probably get at least a PA
I was very close to being named Alexander
And you KNOW I'd go as Zander Szymborski
I'd probably even drop the S in the last name
