Yes, for instance if I comment on an article and a week  or two later want to find my comment, is there any way to look in my profile to see my own past comments and replies to it? Sorry for the specific logistic but I've been looking around for the feature
Meg Rowley
2:39
Hmm I don't think so, but I will ask.

its weird how i pay for a premium service like mlb.tv and yet still am given ads to watch.  plus they didn't start putting them in until a few years ago.  my question is, when will the content just be advertisements?
Meg Rowley
2:40
Ads are annoying, but I also think given the price of MLB TV for what you get, it's still a steal.
Matt Boyd
2:40
How much do people need to squint to see me as the best pitcher to be traded
Meg Rowley
2:40
Maybe they're busy watching the home runs you give up? (I think you're good, too, don't fret.)

Speaking of DJ LeMahieu - is he better than Jose Ramirez ROS?
Meg Rowley
2:42
Man, I think so.
joe
2:43
Lourdes he is looking good: .360 | .401 | .750 in 147 PA since his return.  If this was May 1 and he had a month like that I feel there would be a lot written about this streak.
Meg Rowley
2:43
We're gonna have something on him soon, actually.
Will it be a lot of words? I think an acceptable amount.

Everybody is knocking the Red Sox for not getting bullpen help in the off-season. They could have picked up Trevor Rosenthal or Mychal Givens to go along with Carson Smith and Tyler Thornburg. Isn't the real answer that bullpens, except for a very few like Chapman, Kimbrel and Jansen, are just a crap shoot.
Meg Rowley
2:45
Bullpens are definitely a volatile part of any roster, and you can add and still have it not work out, but even knowing that, and perhaps especially knowing that, it was pretty weird to count on Ryan Brasier and... hope quite so much.

I, for one, will dearly miss not understanding how on earth August trades worked.
Meg Rowley

if you could have any player be the face of your organization / be the guy to build around , who would it be ?
Meg Rowley
2:46
Current Rookies: Tatis
Young Dudes: Lindor
Less Young Dudes: Trout
Gleyber Torres

When did I learn to walk? All of a sudden my walk rate was over 20% last month
Meg Rowley
2:47
I mean, based on averages, probably when you were like one and a half?
yuck yuck yuck
holiday week!
Cove Dweller

But who would you want for a veteran presence?
Meg Rowley
2:48
Adam Jones or Hunter Pence

Is Joey Gallo the plus CF a top 5 player in the AL?
Meg Rowley
2:49
Yes.

Who is most likely to win the all star game? I assume it's pretty close to a coin flip given the way the players will be used right?
Meg Rowley
2:50
Probably. Tomorrow, Craig will have his annual look at the rosters. Tune in!
John
2:50
Which teams buy long-term assets at the deadline?
Meg Rowley
2:50
Let's maybe try this question again with language that makes it sound more like you're talking about human people?
Brodie Van WAGON
2:50
To be fair in the world of baseball trout is still a pretty young dude...
Meg Rowley
2:51
Pretty Young but a little older than Lindor and has been around longer and I wanted both.

Why is Eric Sogard suddenly good enough to be in the top tier of trade-available second basemen? What is he doing differently this year?
Meg Rowley
2:52
I will be honest, I have not watched even one Sogard PA.
2:53
But sounds like I should.
Ed
2:53
Why does everyone take the MLB All Star Game so seriously? It's an exhibition for goodness sake. No one takes the NFL or NBA All Star games seriously at all. Is it Bud Selig's fault?
Meg Rowley
2:54
Yeah, I think it actually being linked to something real for a while does it. Also, humans are goofs.
All star game
2:54
The 30 reps to get all fan bases to watch kinda makes sense if say you have Machado being the only Orioles rep some years, but I doubt any Marlins fans are tuning in to see Sandy alcantara
Meg Rowley
2:56
Sure, in an given year, it falls down, but that's what I imagine the initial thought was
