Yooo! How's everyone doing? These playoffs are already lit!

Hannah Hochevar

2:06

We all know you're a big Ubaldo fan. Question is: how did you sneak into the O's dugout and convince Buck to put him in over Britton?

2:06

LOL, my favorite pitcher! I just had to convince Buck to get that superstar in there over a failed starter like Britton

2:07

Joking aside, I don't think it's hyperbole to call it one of the worst moves in postseason history. It's SO indefensible that I was completely convinced that Britton was hurt until we learned he wasn't

John

In all likelihood Cespedes will not live up to the value of a long term 100+ mil contract. Should the Mets give it too him anyway with lack of FA bats and him being the true star of the team?

Paul Sporer

2:12

Probably not. Short of more playoff success, this couldn't have worked out better. They got to run it back with him making their team better and appeasing the fans. Then he went out and played well enough to where he's likely going to exercise the option and now his early-30s can be someone else's bad investment

2:13

And it's not that next year or even the year after will necessarily be the bad part, but after that, it's dicey

fresh basil

2:16

Series you're most excited about? Weirdly it's Boston/Cleveland for me.

Paul Sporer

2:17

I'm digging that one, but I'll go obvious and say Texas-Toronto. Even if there are no extra curricular fireworks, I think it'll be a helluva series and I tangentially care about Texas thanks to living here and having some good friends who love them

JAL

2:21

P, what two pitchers you throwing for dailies tomorrow?

Paul Sporer

2:22

Darvish and Kersh

fresh basil

2:22

Yeah, that's gonna be a good one

Pie

2:22

Just capped off my third straight league title. Do you and/or Eno have a venmo that I can drop off a few (1) abucks?

Paul Sporer

2:22

Congrats! You definitely don't have to. Gratitude on Twitter definitely works for me

JAL

2:23

Thanks for everything this year, btw!

Paul Sporer

2:23

You're welcome!

Avi

2:25

It's weird. Take away the Giants and the Red Sox and you have 4 teams that have not won in a half century plus, and two teams that won around 1990.

fresh basil

2:28

Yeah, you and Eno killed it all year.

Paul Sporer

2:28

Thank you so much

Pie

2:28

Is there anyone worth getting excited about in this year's free agent class outside of Cespedes?

Paul Sporer

2:30

Others of note for me include Ian Desmond, Edwin Encarnacion, Jose Bautista, Dexter Fowler, Carlos Gomez, Justin Turner -- thin market for sure

Minty

2:30

It's no MLB the show, but you have to check out the old triple play with Giambi on the cover for PS2. Through a glitch, Matt Perisho throws a 120 mph sinker.

Paul Sporer

2:30

LOL that's hilarious!!

JAL

2:30

ok f it. i am throwing Yu and Jason Alexander Happ. pray for the kid

Paul Sporer

2:30

Jason Alexander LOOOOOL... GL

Pie

2:30

Are you going to the Red River Shootout this year?

Paul Sporer

2:30

Nah, actually more likely to try and see Kendrick at ACL instead

Dago

2:31

I did not win any of my leagues... came close in 3 out of 4. Was on the cusp, but I thoroughly enjoyed and benefited from the chats, pods and twitter. Thank you! Are you having Charlotte make Playoff and World Series predictions (like the famous Octupus did the world cup)? That'd be lit.

Paul Sporer

2:31

You're welcome! Char should have her own baseball blog, right?! Maybe Eno will hire her on

Tim

2:31

Paul! Hope you're as totally stoked about the playoffs as me. Are you playing any daily fantasy this postseason? And what would you consider the best approach, given the severely limited player pool?

Paul Sporer

2:33

I'm very stoked. I love the playoffs even when my beloved Tigers aren't there. I'm not sure if I'm gonna play DK, but I think you have to balance wanting to have some unique picks with getting the studs who are likely to go off even if they'll be heavily used. I weirdly would do well on short slates in the regular season so maybe I should give it a go

btw JAL, I was laughing at your nickname for Happ, not the fact that you're using him

Carl

2:33

With Andrus resergence this year, do you keep him over Forsythe for a MI spot?

Paul Sporer

2:39

It's close. I think you can make the Andrus case if you've got a lot of power surrounding him

Carl

2:39

Can Roman Quinn match billy Hamilton next year? .260 50sbs, nothing else?

Paul Sporer

2:43

I liked Quinn a lot when I saw him in AFL, but he's never drawn much prospect love. Not sure he'll be quite the SB asset of Hamilton, but I can see 40-something SBs with a .250-.260 AVG

Bill

2:43

Where would you rank Greg Bird among 1Bs as a keep forever prospect?

Paul Sporer

2:45

Top 15ish

It hurts when I pee

2:45

12 team mixed league ($360 budget) - Byron buxton and Jose Peraza keepers at $10 each?
