So naturally, that resulted in a decade of Chris Truby Satan jokes.

Also, the Trade Deadline Extravaganza I ran in 2009
I organized a 13-man, eight-hour chat for the trade deadline.

Schwarber is a born DH. Surely he'd have had a more impressive career to this point if he'd come up in the AL? More PAs and therefore more HRs.

That was the longest underhand flip I've ever seen.

Unfortunately, the transcript no longer works as the CoveritLive service no longer functions
That was a couple of months before I started writing for ESPN

and I never thought to go back and transfer that transcript to text

Aww Jeff Sullivan. I loved his work. He and Dave Cameron really got me into Fangraphs, and baseball in general again, when I was in my late 20s.

So, I was sitting here, as a Yankees fan, pondering who I hate more between HOU and BOS. I was just thinking I kinda like Boston better, when Fenway starts chanting “Yankees Suck” 😂

It's always a little sad finding an abandoned website, seeing all the old posts tailing off

Do you know how Swydan is doing, Dan? Did his bookstore survive the pandemic?

I haven't talked with him, but I believe it's still open!

I don't live anywhere near there, but I know he was active in organizing all sorts of events and stuff to keep people going

who the heck is this pitcher?

It's Sawamura!
B’Ryce Hammer
11:24
But why haven’t I even heard his name?
AvatarDan Szymborski
11:24
He's a real deep cut
he wasn't on the alds roster
B’Ryce Hammer
11:26
well, he’s doing his job! It’s time for me to go to bed

Sawamura's splitter is a lot of fun
But it's a little erratic
11:27
So the Red Sox didn't really use him in a lot of high-leverage situations
since he's walk prone
Which happened to him at times in japan too

Sawamura was arguably the big mistake of G1

Thanks for staying up with us, Dan! Jay's a snoozer-loser.

Jay's got a young daughter!
He need his rest.
Me, what am I going to do tomorrow? Get tacos?
