Doesn't Robert gsellman look like happy Gilmore's caddy?

Jeffrey Todd

4:07

Whoops!

Larry Biggersby

4:07

Do you think Gleyber's up for good at this point?

Jeffrey Todd

4:08

Will depend upon how he performs and what the needs are. Hardly inconceivable that he goes back down. And it wouldn't mean he won't be great in the long run if that happens.

Acuna vs. Trout

4:08

Are there legitimate reasons to compare Acuna to where Trout was at the same age?

Jeffrey Todd

4:09

Okay look. It's not fair to do that to Acuna. But I will grant you permission to quietly track this matter in a non-public forum.

Remember: Trout stunk in his age-19 call-up.

Brandon Belt > Eric Hosmer

Jeffrey Todd

4:10

Would any debate be more likely to lead to a knife fight between baseball fans that frequent various online outlets?

Okay I'm going to take a few more ...

4:10

The easiest way to avoid the Hosmer Overpay questions is to say it was Alex Cobb

Jeffrey Todd

4:10

That deal was kinda hard to understand, more so b/c the Orioles did it than that Cobb received it.

Pine Tar

4:11

You like the Blackmon signing?

Jeffrey Todd

4:11

Seems like a fairly reasonable price for both sides. Sure. Could question why they are committing to an older outfielder, but he's a legit star and the deal isn't too long.

4:12

When will Addison Russell break out offensively? He showed the power potential in 2016 but he hasn’t taken a step forward since

Jeffrey Todd

4:12

At some point you kind of stop expecting a breakout. I think the better question is just whether he'll be able to sustain average-ish productivity with the bat.

My Name Is Judge

4:12

I think the grammar is fine on the site, but you should get grammarly, it's the best!

Cheating

War on Drugs

4:13

Was A Deeper Understanding the best album of 2017?

Jeffrey Todd

4:14

I enjoy listening to it sometimes. But man, I wonder ... do all the people who proclaim such things really listen to enough music to say that?

Pine Tar

4:14

DJ Lemaheu looking at 3/36 next year?-not with Rox

Jeffrey Todd

4:14

Reasonable guess.

John

4:14

Too much talk about the Braves and Acuna

Jeffrey Todd

4:14

But last week I was accused of showing outright bias against the Braves.

Jake

4:15

Which last second NRI that made their respective clubs has performed the best to this point???

Jeffrey Todd

4:15

Don't know but thanks for the reminder that we can do some posts on that!

(I shall research and put something on the site, though maybe we'll let some more games play out first.)

Bill Lumbar

4:15

Yeah so if you could tell me why nobody outside Wisconsin believes in the Brewers that would be great.

Jeffrey Todd

4:16

I don't live in Wisconsin -- have never even been there, in fact -- and think they are a legit contender.

You're welcome.

Guest

4:16

Mr. Todd, what you just wrote is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent chat, were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this chat is now dumber for having listened to it.

Jeffrey Todd

4:16

This is the perfect way to end it, thank you!

4:17

You young'ins might not get the reference, I guess. Talking about Billy Madison now is sort of like referring to eighties movies when I was a teenager.

Anyhow, now that I've established my total lack of cultural awareness throughout this chat ... thanks as always for your time. We'll do it next week!

4:19

(I just realized that Guest left out the best part: "I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul." Talk to you next Thursday!)
