Yes.
The Fonz

Has a player, manager, or GM ever admitted to you that he follows your chats?
Keith Law
1:54
All the time. Often because they like a joke or catch the song reference in the intro.

Why is everyone acting like someone getting Trump to act like a jerk will move the needle? He's always been a jerk and his supporters love it. The only thing that will change 2020 is getting those who didn't come out at all in 2016 to get out and vote.
Keith Law
1:54
Isn't that a possible motivator, though?
1:55
I'd add to that getting people who voted third party in 2016 to vote blue. Every person who voted for Jill Crank'n Stein should be deeply ashamed.

If I'm vaccinated and my children are vaccinated, are we safe from the spread of these diseases regardless of the essential oil crowd, or should I be more worried?
Keith Law
1:56
You should still be worried because the immune system, while a marvel of evolution, is still imperfect, and that you can still catch a vaccine preventable disease even if you've been vaccinated. Your odds of fighting it off are much, much higher, of course, but they are not zero, so pushing herd immunity - stopping the disease from spreading because enough people in a community have been vaccinated - is still extremely important.

Is it a weird feeling being recognized in public?
Keith Law
1:57
It is, but readers who've recognized me have always been so nice that I have come to enjoy it. It's also infrequent - it's not like I've got people lined up outside this Cartel Coffee shop to take my picture or something. I've been recognized in some fun places, like in line at Disneyworld (twice!), by my server in a restaurant, by the manager in a different restaurant, on a rental car shuttle, etc.

Have you watched The Inventor? It must be my bubble but this story managed to fly right past me all these years.
Keith Law
1:59
Not yet, on my to watch list. I'm overwhelmed again - my daughter wants me to watch Doctor Who and I've watched all of one episode of the reboot (Christopher Ecceleston's debut), plus a friend more or less ordered me to watch Catastrophe, and I want to watch The Inventor and another film on HBO this month, La Familia.

Will you get any reports on Southern Miss, any chance wallner will sneak into the teens?
Keith Law
2:00
Of the first round? I haven't heard anything like that.
Hinkie

I know you liked Brandon McIlwaine as a HS player.  Any chance he can get back to a top prospect now that he's playing regularly at Cal.  Is he a day two pick this June?
Keith Law
2:01
I'd buy day two. He's hit OK so far but I don't think cal has faced much good pitching.
Danny
2:01
Does it matter if you vote Jill Stein or third party in a safely blue state (NY or CA)?
Keith Law
2:01
She's a raging anti-science crank. Anti-vax, anti-GMO, anti-glyphosate, etc. Hard no.
Tom C
2:01
It's interesting remembering the various opinions that the Angels should trade Trout to build up the farm system, only now they have Trout forever and a budding farm system. Hooray for everything.
Keith Law
2:02
Yes, but they don't have much pitching imminent. They will have to solve that problem next.
Brian
2:02
Ugh Corey Knebel heading to an elbow specialist with the Brewers very concerned. Do you think how the Brewers used their bullpen last year will have negative ramifications for this year? Jeffress is on the IL as well.
Keith Law
2:02
I'm not sure we know how to prevent relievers from getting hurt.
Kevin
2:02
Would you do away with the electoral college?
Keith Law
2:02
Of course.
Michael
2:02
What do you think of the Brewers adding all three of their young pitchers to the rotation?  Good move, highly volatile?
Keith Law
2:03
I'm here for it. Teams can be a bit too risk-averse with prospects/rookies yet the Brewers have gone hard the other way, and I think it's great.
Drew

I'm finally watching Brooklyn 99 and it is incredibly funny. Has Michael Schur become the GOAT in television productoin? his run of 4 shows is unbeatable IMO.
Keith Law
2:03
If only he understood the glory of hot fruit, he'd be the GOAT. Instead he's just rich and irrelevant.
2:04
OK, I've got to get a few little things done before heading out to games this afternoon, so I'll wrap this up here. Thank you all, as always, for reading and for all of your questions. I should be on schedule for a Thursday chat next week, after I'm home from AZ. Enjoy this last weekend of meaningless baseball!
