The weather has been truly, truly awful.
Ozzie A

Please miss, don't judge me on my small sample size!
Meg Rowley
1:21
This works both directions.
North Bill Bill North

Do you have more fun watching pitchers with awkward and funky deliveries or seemingly effortless ones?
Meg Rowley
1:22
Hmmmm. I enjoy them both for different reasons. You can't make me pick!
Kyle Schwarber
1:23
Can I show you my taxes?
Meg Rowley
1:23
Please don't

NOW THAT AN EXTRA YEAR OF CONTROL HAS BEEN ASSURED, WHICH PROSPECT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED TO SEE CALLED UP IN THE NEAR IMMEDIATE FUTURE?
Meg Rowley
1:24
Acuna and please stop yelling.
Texas Toast

Willie Calhoun should be up by mid-week this week right?  He’s hitting the ball well after a slow start & the Ranger injuries are piling up
Meg Rowley
1:24
I expect he'll be up soon
Mike

Should Kershaw leave the Dodgers after this year, is there any way that he doesn't end up pitching three shutouts against them in the World Series?
Meg Rowley
1:25
The world rarely provides us with such neat narratives, and also, I think he stays with the Dodgers.

Wait a minute...you'll answer questions about Twins playoff odds, but not about an actual reality of Cahill starting today?
Meg Rowley
1:27
He is going to start today. Also, I have learned that today is the A's 50th Anniversary game, so congrats to the A's, and also to Trevor Cahill.
Minnesota Mike

I cut bait on Logan Morrison as he’s shown nothing, was I too aggressive in doing so?
Meg Rowley
1:28
Like, as a fan? A human person? A fantasy owner? Probably no to all three.

Why does MLB have to keep tinkering with the ball? They've had 100+ years so why is it so difficult to find a balance between offense and pitching?
Meg Rowley
1:28
Because the game and the people who play it change over time.
Bob

Kurt Suzuki has one strikeout in 32 at bats. ONE.
Meg Rowley
1:29
Kurt is sort of an underrated name for a man. Solid name.

Despite it being utterly irrational, do you ever feel your actions possibly affect the outcome of a game?  For example, I was at that miserable Cubs/Braves game and bailed after the 5th with the Braves up by 7 runs.  Can't shake the feeling that If I had stuck it out things might have gone differently.
Meg Rowley
1:30
I mean, you would have been cold outside longer.
1:31
That feeling is so tempting, but just remember that thousands of other people experience the same thing and do their own bits of sorcery.
Which means that even if it is really, it probably isn't just your fault. Let yourself off the hook.

Who is the best hitting coach in the league? (seems like something we should be aware of given that more and more players seem to be consciously overhauling their plate approaches.)
Meg Rowley
1:33
Really hard to say, especially with so many guys working with outside coaches during the offseason. Isolating what is the hitting coach is really tricky.
Rollie's Mustache
1:33
How long before television broadcasts bring pitch tunnelling into the mainstream? Eno's recent article at the Athletic is proof that it's possible to simplify a complicated concept and give the viewer a more meaningful reason as to why a pitcher is doing what he's doing.
Meg Rowley
1:34
You still have broadcasts that resist OPS+.
I think it is a ways off.
1:35
Alright friends, I need to get going. I'm sorry for what I didn't get to. Hope everyone has a good rest of the week and enjoys Ohtani later!
