SPOILER: They've given up on him being a baseball player and now the team is having him make barrels for sale to earn his keep.

We are always with you Dan. You are the only chat host who understands that chili debates what defines a sandwiche and baseball can coexist in a chat session.

I feel like a Chicken Tender Alignment Chart (similar to something like this for sandwiches: https://imgur.com/r/funny/5yzsKJ5) would end up with Structure Purist/Ingredient Purist being contiguous meat and traditional bread crumbs against Radical Tender Anarchy being chicken hot dogs on a pancake

Hey, the Marlins have a lot of hungry young pitchers. They're pitching for a sandwich!

Should MLB tweak the schedule so there are a few more glamour series matchups opening day? The NFL and NBA seem to do a better job at this (opening game, holidays, etc)

Dan Szymborski

5:53

MLB schedules are so tricky since you have to stuff so many requirements into a 162 game season

Ian Desmond...more like Ian Cooper!

The A's seem like they're going to go Trivino - Soria - Treinen for the 7, 8, & 9 even though they are up 4 and while that seems a little wasteful, that's also a fearsome bullpen.

Gotta EXERT YOUR AUTHORITE

Marwin just hit a ball so hard that Leonys Martin couldn't cut it off in the gap and CJ Cron was able to score from first

Dan Szymborski

5:55

just call him BILLY HAMILCRON

Tim Livingston

5:56

Lauer out after only 70 pitches? Bigger head-scratcher today: That pull or Scherzer after 109?

Eric A Longenhagen

5:56

I'm not sure where either of them maxed out during ST but that's a piece of info I'd wanna know before judging either.

Dan Szymborski

Expect a lot of 0-0 scores deep into Indians games this year, With Lindor on the IL the team on the field looks like the Orioles.

Dan Szymborski

5:57

THe injured list is a better name than the disabled list, but they should still have the abbreviation for injured list be DL.

5:58

If David Jonathan Drew can be J.D. Drew and J.A. Happ be "Jay" Happ I think it's OK to call the injured list the DL.

a chicken tender is a calzone

Nate

Oh dear gawd. The Padres are going to change pitchers every batter this inning. Can the new rule be implemented now, please?

Billy Beane

5:58

The injureD List, perhaps?

Dan Szymborski

5:58

OK guys, 6:00 coming up and we're going to wind down this chat in a couple.

Any last minute shenanigans, this is your moment!

Meg... infield analysis for Mariners? Beckham outlook? Thx

Angels offense is pathetic

I only have one shenanigan. Can't afford any more.

Meg Rowley

5:59

Don't think they're sold on him.

OddBall Herrera

In positive news for the Twins, Rocco Baldelli has made it through almost an entire game without being hurt

Tyler

5:59

Never really called it the Disabled List in the past, it was always just the DL. It is going to take a long time to start calling it the IL.

Dan Szymborski

5:59

I keep thinking guys were sent down to the International League

6:00

WHY IS FRANCISCO LINDOR ON THE IL, ARE THEY PLAYING SERVICE TIME ISSUES?!?!

Billy Beane

6:00

Dan, no, you can't leave! On the west coast it's only 3 PM! What am I going to do for 2 more hours while my employer thinks I am working!

Dan Szymborski

6:00
