Have you seen Don’t Look Up? Adam McKay really did it this time!
Kevin Goldstein
1:11
Watched it on Saturday. It was fine. Not bad, but not great. 50.
NotAA
1:12
would being a special assistant move the needle?
Kevin Goldstein
1:12
Nah. It's not about title, it's about the role/job.
NotAA

Best places to eat during ST?
Kevin Goldstein
1:14
I've had plenty of really good meals during spring training, but I do miss the text chain that I had with some other scouts where we just shared photos of the Panda Express we just bought.
Pippen

How many Trouble With The Curve like Clint’s are still out there? I’d love to just listen to the mitt and swing and know. It fascinates me.
Kevin Goldstein
1:16
Nobody can actually just listen to the miss and swing and know.

What is the best GIF you've used in trade talks?
Kevin Goldstein
1:16
I have a variety of people shaking their heads no.
1:17
Ok, folks, final moments. Get your final questions of the year in!

Think the NCAA NIL rules will help push Rocker toward another year at Vandy? Can get some of the bag and familiar settings.
Kevin Goldstein
1:18
He's not going back to Vandy.

Has a trade negotiation ever changed how you thought about a peer?
Kevin Goldstein
1:18
No. I've never had one get acrimonious....
Private Pyle

full metal jacket first half is elite
Kevin Goldstein
1:19
I agree. Second half ain't exactly chopped liver.
Tiger Fan

What player in all of baseball has the best RAW speed? Just absolutely blazing fast, minors or majors?
Kevin Goldstein
1:19
Billy Hamilton sill up there . . .

Are you the gamer? How’s SMT5? Looking for a post XMAS gift to myself.
Kevin Goldstein
1:20
SMT5 is kind of wonderful, but loses steam in the second half. Yes, I'm the gamer. I'm also far from the only one.

How long is acceptable to still be wishing someone a happy new year?
Kevin Goldstein
1:20
As long as you want?

Why do so many HOF writers act like they are obligated to hold their noses and vote for certain players they don't like, simply because their performance was good? Having a ballot means they have a choice, and they are either abdicating their power for no good reason or trying to create cover. Either way, it's annoying to read.
Kevin Goldstein
1:21
I think the overwhelming majority of voters are very thoughtful, and we focus on the loud and attention-seeking minority who aren't.
Dirty D

Happy New Year Kev! (For 2021)
Kevin Goldstein
1:21
See, that's fine.
Joey Caltrain

Could Evan White make the jump to center fielder like Bellinger has?
Kevin Goldstein
1:21
No.
Veronica
1:22
I love baseball pants. Do front office members wear them too?
Kevin Goldstein
1:22
They do not. Sometimes it feels like quarter-zips are a uniform though!
Sundance
1:22
Can we stop trying to make Evan White happen?
Kevin Goldstein
1:22
Seemingly not, based on the questions I'm getting.
JR
1:23
What are the odds Amed Rosario takes a Tim Anderson like jump next season?
Kevin Goldstein
1:23
Very low.
JTF
1:23
What's your Jake Meyers over next 5 years? Could he be an all-star?
Kevin Goldstein
1:23
I think he could be a solid CF but All-Star would really surprise me.
Howard Ratner

How much fun is it to bet on baseball now that you're not working in it?
Kevin Goldstein
1:24
I've never done it. The last time I bet on anything baseball related was in a bar in the early 1990s when I bet on what Kal Daniels' full first name is (I won).

How much fun is it to bet on Sumo now? Asking for a friend.
