I don't think the conjunction suggests that the parts of the sentence are related
Hello

Panik to Mets?  How are they gonna screw it up?
Meg Rowley
2:51
as if they need more panic over there

Speaking of Marte, remember when Jeff called his breakout in 2016? Man what a guy
Meg Rowley
2:51
Turns out Jeff is smart

If the Mariners did a "hot dog" style mascot race, who or what would be the contestants?
Meg Rowley
2:52
Big Foot, a Starbucks Cup, a Space Needle, and I-5 with a bunch of cars on it
2:53
I-5 would always lose

Assume the Rays make and win the wild card with a "bullpen" day.  How do they line up their starters/openers for the ALDS?
Meg Rowley
2:53
Depends entirely on Snell's health and efficacy

What's your typical lunch look like?

Often leftovers or a salad

How can they call it the Vedder cup when he’s a Chicago guy? Dude wrote a song about the Cubs
Meg Rowley
2:54
Yeah, no musical ties to Seattle at all
2:55
(he lived in SD and, ya know, Pearl Jam)
Concerned in MA

At what point do the Red Sox hit the panic button or have they already?  6.5 games is a lot to make up, but stranger things have happened and a lot of players are underperforming.
Meg Rowley
2:56
I think they're probably pretty realistic about their odds.
Bo
2:56
Which do you see happening first - switch to a "balanced" schedule or universal DH?
Meg Rowley
2:56
universal DH
J

I did not say he has no ties to Seattle. It’s just that he is a Cubs fan so it seems odd. Thanks for being rude for no reason.
Meg Rowley
2:56
Just joshin', no offense meant.

How much wood could Alex Wood chuck if Alex Wood could chuck wood?
Meg Rowley
2:57

just a guy

At last year's FG meetup at Meadhall, the venue refused if you were <21
Meg Rowley

Hmmm that's not what they told us when David called -- will have him follow up -- could be there's a timing issue
thanks for the heads up, though
Profanity

Well, it's a baseball chat.  You can't just not ever say "Orioles"
Meg Rowley

This made me laugh, and also, is a good place to stop for the day.

If you're in the Boston area on Friday night, swing by the meetup! You don't need to be attending Saberseminar to attend that.

Sorry for what I didn't get to, and thanks for the great questions.
Until next week!
