Oh, maybe that was just through Jan 1?

Kumail Nanjiani - at what age?

last month ago?

Poor Kevin Goldstein, seemed to have got thrown under the bus with that ESPN report, and it seems like his email had nothing to do with the scandal at all
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:41
That does seem unfortunate in retrospect and we had heard there was nothing there, but also doesn't everyone now know that he wasn't involved? Unfortunate but also not impactful long-term?

Is there concern that the Astros bad front office culture spread to orgs like the Orioles with ex-Houston leadership?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:41
Not really any buzz to back that up, but reasonable to wonder as a fan
1:42
If anything, I think post-HOU people are more focused on culture now since they saw the limitations of where they came from
and I have heard specifically about that being the case in some situations

How is Liberatore's curve so great with a low spin fastball?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:43
spinning a fastball and a breaking ball are different skills. often go together, but one doesn't affect the other that much

As far as sign stealing goes, is it legal to watch tape from previous games of a team to figure out what signs they use, or is non-live video considered using technology?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:43
I think that's considered totally kosher

I've heard multiple people say this year's draft class is one of the deepest in years, but looking at the board there are less >45fv and >40+fv guys than last year, which seemed like a leaner draft class. Is that just something that increases as we get closer to June?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:44
there will be more as the draft gets closer
more 50's as well

Do you ever get used to seeing players not in uniform? Every time I see one, they look sooooo much thicker!

Do you remember when Michael Barrett got spiked in the nuts at home plate, and tore his sack?  Pepperidge Farms remembers.

In my home state of Kansas, a man just asked a judge to allow him a trial by combat in which he could sword fight his ex-wife and her attorney.  Just thought you might find that amusing.

Since the Astros stole all the signs, how do people drive around Houston now?

So, Disney got Kumail Nanjiani a trainer and a dietician for a year and now he's in ridiculous shape to film a tv show. I can't imagine it cost more than, what, $200,000? The Blue Jays should do this for Alejandro Kirk. It's a worthy investment. Unless maybe exercising that much will sap him of the time and energy to actually work on playing baseball? Anyway. Curious how any of these guys aren't in great shape, given the money floating around.
