I think he'll be fine if his arm is healthy. The team's being careful

Lots of people doubted Cueto in rankings before the season....no at 3-0 with a good K:BB ratio and his FB has hit 95 MPH. Is he a top 10 starter at the end of the season?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:37
Top 10 slightly too rich for me

Cubs/Cards with a 3-game set today in the shadow of the arch. Who ya got?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:37
Cubs 2-1

Regarding the unearned run for pitchers. I think it's because you're trying to separate pitching performance from fielding, regardless of who's doing the fielding.
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:38
Yeah, but on a *justice* standpoint it seems weird.

Who do you see as the top players who are likely to be moved near the trade deadline this year?

Lucroy
Thorsday

How excited are you for me to no hit the Phillies?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:38
No hit? I think you're going to -1-hit a team this year
They'll actually take back a hit from a previous game

Can you tell Greinke that he's gotta cut off relations with this April chick? It's quite depressing

Have you tried out the new Stratomatic Baseball Daily yet? If so, any early thoughts?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:39
I have not

What's stopping the Rockies from being legitimate contenders?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:39
Their usual lack of consistent planning.
12:40
I just don't think they have good enough players right now.
And I am skeptical that they're going to make the right decisions around their prospects in the future

Thoughts on my performance so far?

Fine, but ceiling is limited.

Should the Orioles just run SP tandems to bridge to the 7th? Their SP's havent been going beyond 5, but I'm not sure they would really want them to go 3 times through the order anyway. They have quite a few pitchers in the pen that were former starters. Tyler Wilson, Bundy, McFarland, even Brach can go two.
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:40
Tandems require a lot of moving parts, which is one reason you don't see them that regularly

what can baseball do to make players more loyal to a city? I feel like rivalries are dead, even the sox-Yankees kinda seems forced lately
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:42
I don't think you can do much to make players more loyal
Matt

At the rate he's going is Markakis worth a top-50 prospect? Could the Braves get Aaron Judge for Markakis and Teheran?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:42
If they get Judge for that, it would be more due to Teheran than Markakis
Markakis just isn't worth much

Was yesterday a sign of things to come for Steve matz? Thanks!
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:43
I think he'll be fine. People were freaking out too much first start
Jeff
12:44
Which starting pitchers are you legitimately concerned about - not just writing off to April?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:44
Well, April still part of the answer, but I'm a bit worried about Shelby Miller
Yeah, cut finger last start likely made that worse, but his stuff didn't look like it had any life before that

Manny Machado- 10 year, $320M extension buying out his arb years. Who says no?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:44
Orioles - I dont' think they're willing to spend that amount on a single player

I don't understand the Cody Anderson hype. He's still not striking guys out. Why does it exist and is it justified?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:45
Don't look at me
12:46
I was never on team Anderson
Jones
12:46
How do you see the Hector Olivera situation ending up? Would Braves follow the Rockies path with Reyes and likely cut bait?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:46
Depends how the story plays out. The thing is, I don't think he's very good, so he'll going to have less leeway
