If the Red Sox ramp up their game in the second half, who do you see as the offensive player to lead the way?
Meg Rowley

I think the answer is what you'd think (Mookie) but boy would it be nice to see a really good Jackie Bradley Jr. assert himself. It isn't as dire as it was, but it still isn't great.

If you had to pick a conceptual area of baseball that you think is changing the most, or most interests you, what’s your fancy?

I guess generally how hitters respond to the velo spike. I do wonder (though they aren't the only org to ever do this) how player dev groups like the Astros' insistence on a lot of similarity in their pitching population (or the Dodgers building a bunch of hitters who strike out a bunch and hit for big, big power) creates some bio diversity issues, for lack of a better term.

Does Mike Montgomery know that he's given up the two longest hit balls of the 2019 season (486 ft to Desmond and 482 ft to Mazara)?

Seems like a pretty data friendly guy, so maybe. Though once the ball is over the wall, I wonder how much the actual distance matters to you. Counts the same.

Meg did the chat end without you saying goodbye? I'M STILL HOLDING ON. I'LL NEVER LET GO JACK.

Barring an internet outage, would never.

You can make one rule change to any part of baseball (game mechanics, free agency, draft etc)- what’s your move?
Meg Rowley
3:04
One change? JUST ONE? Get rid of the draft. No more drafts. Get out of here with any more drafts.

Dan banned me from is chat for using "less" instead of "fewer" in my question, do you think he was serious?
Meg Rowley
3:05
Probably not, but it also isn't a tricky rule to remember.

Thoughts on the 8th inning in the Dodgers/Angels contest last night?
Meg Rowley

That based on how many questions I have gotten about it, I should go watch it.
(damn you, migraines, you are the worst)
Alright pals, my phone is buzzing and there are notifications piling up, so I must depart.

I won't be chatting next week, because I will be on vacation starting Friday and will not be working or online or any such thing. I hope you enjoy baseball in my absence and are nice to the writers, and to Dylan Higgins, who will be in charge til I get back.
3:08
Have a great week, and sorry for what I didn't get to!
