Is it fair to freak out about Jordan Zimmermann? Doesn't seem hurt but the stuff really isn't there

Dan Szymborski

2:47

I'm starting to be very worried.

Sim

2:47

People are worried about Bundy due to his velo being down. He has looked pretty good though what are your thoughts?

Dan Szymborski

2:47

I'd like more strikeouts, but as an O's fans, I have a lot larger worries!

Lemons and Lemonade

2:47

Would the Nationals be better off moving Turner to CF and giving Difo regular at bats as opposed to letting Taylor play CF?

Dan Szymborski

2:47

Marginally, yes.

Mike

2:48

Are you as high on Charlie Morton as Dave Cameron is?

Dan Szymborski

2:48

Sure. At his rate of improvement, he'll be throwing an Alcubierre fastball by the time he retires.

I would like an update on the cats and the condiment situation in your fridge, please.

Dan Szymborski

2:49

Galileo has a scab on his nose from where Mercutio kicked him in the face. Pandora was howling because I hadn't put together her water fountain and she had to drink from a bowl like a prole.

(It has to go through the dishwasher or it gets slimy!)

2:50

Nothing super interesting on the condiments front. I did get a dijon mustard to replace the one that I was using that expired in 2011.

So Taguchi

2:50

Do you think we'll see an increase in young hitters going overseas to get reps, like Thames? Seems like typically contracts would get in the way for most guys.

Dan Szymborski

2:50

Yes

It's already been happening long-term.

The Greg LaRoccas of the world have found a lot more fortune in japan than in the upper minors.

Matt

2:50

Perfect Dark was better. *ducks*

Dan Szymborski

2:51

We did most of our gambling in Goldeneye though.

Don Gale

2:51

Who do you want ROS --- Franco or Longoria?

Dan Szymborski

2:51

Longoria

Robert

Is a baseball a sandwich?

Dan Szymborski

2:51

It's a wrap

Hold the Odor

2:51

Think Thor pitches again this year?

Dan Szymborski

2:51

Yes

How did you slash your foot in the bathroom? Are you a hobbit? Do you have to shave off some hair on your feet?

Dan Szymborski

2:52

I broke a glass and I missed a really large shard that got wedged between the garbage can and the wall.

And walked by and slashed my foot open from under my pinky toe down to about halfway down the side of my foot.

When I cut it, I immediately and quickly put on a sock I was holding.

And went to the bathroom.

2:53

And when I stood up, I realized that there was a huge bloody pool under my foot

and I had left a trail of blood from the kitchen to the bathroom

(it was like 2 in the morning)

Dan Szymborski, making his fortnightly...? Wednesday appearance on a Wednesday. So what say you, Dan Szymborski? Is Noah Syndegaard's lat yet another example of the cavalcade of miseries that is the human condition? Is the incompetence of the Mets front office- insofar as their medical team - a microcosm of the maladies that plague us all, that we are all faking our way through life?terrfied of being found out as frauds!Furthermore, Why do you hate me, Dan Szymborski?

Dan Szymborski

2:53

You're not the real Carson, I do not smell brimstone.

Sterling Mallory Chris Archer

2:53

Oh look, Dan finally made it. Hooray!! /s

Dan Szymborski

2:54

I was in Baltimore the last two Wednesdays

And my very nice companion, she would have murdered me if I spent time chatting.
