My least favorite part is freelancers filing late.
Grinds my gears.

Who's the person to contact about when more hoodie sizes will be available to order.
Meg Rowley
2:53
Hmmm the answer is probably Appelman, but I'm not sure. Ask me again next week and I'll find out in the meantime.

if mlb wants to speed up games, why not eliminate warm up pitches for relievers?
Meg Rowley
2:54
I imagine the pitch clock is coming. I imagine a limit on how many warm ups they throw is coming, though they have the commercial break so I'm not sure how much time that will really save.

why was this postseason so unmemorable?   Especially on the heels of so many great ones recently?
Meg Rowley
2:55
When series resolve quickly you get fewer chances for big moments, and fewer of them in the games you do have, which tend to be more lopsided.

what reporter has the best inside sources?
Meg Rowley
2:56
Probably the folks you'd expect. Passan, Rosenthal, etc. That is not an exhaustive list by any means.

Which Major League team is most in need of adding a live animal mascot?
Meg Rowley
2:56
There shouldn't be mascots. Mascots are weird and we shouldn't indulge them.

Am I wrong for thinking that both Robles and Soto will have a higher WAR next year than Harper?  And that it won’t even be close?
Meg Rowley
2:57
They could have a higher WAR, but I expect if they did it would be close.

Why don't the Mets at least deepen their Analytics department its cheaper then purchasing free agents?
Meg Rowley
2:57
You need ownership to buy in. Ownership will continue to be the issue there.

Moving Kyle Seager at this point would be a terrible idea: true or false?
Meg Rowley
2:58
I would wait and see if there is value to be rebuilt, which I expect there is. He was dinged up last year, and also couldn't figure out how to deal with the shift. I expect you need to sort out how much of each was in play.
Regarding Mascots
2:59
Yeah but if teams listened to you, we never would have gotten Gritty.
Meg Rowley

Take: Gritty is like the Joker in the Dark Knight Rises. In our desperation, we've turned to a man we didn't fully understand.

What's wrong with Mather, in your opinion?
Meg Rowley
3:01
If it were me personally, I wouldn't have promoted him to CEO post workplace harassment. Just a little thought of mine.
And now, as mascot takes roll in, I must take my leave to podcast with Carson. Sorry for what I didn't get to.
I will be chatting next week, but some others won't as a result of the holiday.
3:02
Until then, have a great rest of your week and thanks for hanging out.
