When did you stop beating your wife? (Rehtorical. This phrase popped in my head when they guy asked you about being unfaithful. Worth a Google if you have no idea what I'm talking about)
Keith Law
1:55
That came to my mind too. Which always reminds me of the awful 'joke' a reporter told about Wes Gardner in the '80s when he was accused of beating his wife - you could google it, but it is offensive - and how no one at the time seemed to realize why the joke wasn't funny.

Re: social media fix. I agree that we want dissenters in authoritarian countries to have a voice. Problem is, authoritarians have figured out the game and flood the zone with bs so the truth is drowned out. These platforms have a responsibility.

Hang on, Jack will be right with you after he finishes polishing Candace Owens' shoes.

Who do you think should win Best Actress among those nominated? My pick would be Gaga
Keith Law
1:57
In order of the five nominated, I would go Colman, Gaga, Aparicio, (gap), McCarthy, Close. I thought Rosamund Pike deserved a nomination for A Private War.

Did you ever like Pantera? I loved them in high school.....that hasn't aged well. And in hindsight, there were plenty of signs in the 90s that I overlooked as well.
Keith Law
1:57
Never a fan ... their influence exceeded the appeal of their music.

I'm a big fan of Alek Thomas, but your report is the first I have read that he may have 25 or more home run power, which is fantastic. He sounds like a potential star in the making. Do you expect to see him on the top 100 next year? Thank you!
Keith Law
1:58
I do, assuming he does what I think he'll do in full-season ball.

The stadium is costing Cobb County taxpayers a net of around 5 million in a budget of 405 million. You really think it's the biggest part of their budget problems?
Keith Law
1:58
Did I say it was the biggest part of their budget problems? I don't think I did. I do think $5 million pays a lot of 'loser teachers,' though.

ever a fan of the band Cinderella?
Keith Law
1:59
Yeah, guilty. One of my favorites during the hair-metal halcyon days.

St Louis really is boring, right?
Keith Law
2:00
That whole meme has cracked me up because it is probably my least favorite city to visit among the 26 MLB metro areas. Not a great food scene, not a lot to do, and on a personal level not many people I know in the area.

Are you an advocate of moving the pitching mound back?
Keith Law

Aw hell no.

Re: Nugent: He didn't marry her, he became her legal guardian! Even grosser.
Keith Law

Oh god that's right. And her parents signed off on it! I'm sure that was all legal and cool.

Rather have Devers or Andujar for the next 5 years?
Keith Law

Devers.

Just from reading your report on Chisholm, you seem really high on the hit tool. Are you at all concerned about the strikeout rate? Thank you!
Keith Law
2:00
I am not.

I'm half black,  your candor on race motivating our current political positions gives me hope that some white people can hear the blaring dog horn. Thank you.  Do you think the others really can't hear it or are that many people cool with it?
Keith Law
2:02
I think many people who look like me and grew up like me are fine just ignoring the dog whistles and fog horns of modern racism because it doesn't touch their daily lives. I'm hopeful enough people hear them to snuff out this rising tide of white nationalism before it becomes entrenched in Congress like it has in many European legislatures.

Nick Pivetta improved his control to the point he shaved a full point off his walk rate, but he still gives of a lot of hard hit balls.  Does he take another step forward this season?
Keith Law
2:02
Not without a better pitch for LHB.
Brett

O/U Games played in the bigs this year for Byron Buxton:  130
Keith Law

I'll take the over.

What is your max spend on restaurant dining?  French Laundry levels?
Keith Law
2:03
That's like $200something a person, right? I've done that once in my life. I have bought dinner for friends where I paid $200 for the two of us.

Although that would make him Froy Fulowifzki, I guess.

Wouldn't pick trading or swapping be a better marketing tool than bringing in Kyler Murray? I mean hell I'd be excited to watch you go on TV to talk about how you saw say both Dombrowski and Cashman at a game for the perceived #1 pick. Now that would be must watch TV
Keith Law
2:05
Yes, and it would make the draft better to watch, too. Don't we all remember David Stern saying "there has been a trade..." for the Chris Webber/Penny Hardaway deal on draft night? (Bet you didn't think I'd pull that reference out.)

Hey (white) people, stop saying "I don't see color." It's a stupid trope that's insincere and untrue. It is 100 percent OK to admit you do see color. It is not OK to dismiss what those of color are saying affects them, though.
Keith Law
2:05
It's also impossible to not see color.
