Dan Szymborski FanGraphs Chat – 8/15/16

12:00
Dan Szymborski: Another Monday at noon, so I’m coming home to you guys, with my own blood in my mouth.

12:00
Otis Redding: Can the Orioles keep pace in the AL East? Will 3 AL East teams make the playoffs?

12:01
Dan Szymborski: I think they can – other teams have weak spots too. It won’t help though if Miley is execrable instead of lousy.

12:01
Dan Szymborski: I think the two AL East runners-up end up being the wild card, though it’s obviously quite uncertain.

12:01

12:01
Hickey: Are these baby Bronx bombers or whatever the hell the media calls them, the real deal for seasons to come? Or do the Yankees trade as usual for a quality player that washes out in 2 years

El Borko: Hola Amigo!

12:01
Gary: What do you see from Benintendi in a keeper? Is he a 20-homer guy?

12:01
Eno Sarris: Yes! Probably no more than 10 stolen bases despite good speed though.

12:01
Matt: Thoughts on Eugenio Suarez – think he becomes a Jonathan Schoop-esque player or is this what he is?

12:02
Eno Sarris: I think there’s a bit more in there. More patience, maybe a better K%, better average, and he does steal bases! I like him.

9:03
Paul Swydan: In the general media world, people aren’t going to talk about mid-market teams that aren’t awesome, and the Jays are mehhhhhh this year.

9:03

12:03
Dan Szymborski: Boom.

12:04
Joe Musgrove: How’d you get your writing start? I’m wondering for post-mlb work?

12:05
Dan Szymborski: Whether or not that’s the real Joe Musgrove, I got my writing start arguing with WebTV/AOL Users on usenet, which was kind of the Twitter of the mid-90s.

12:05

12:05
Matt: Hi Dan. I missed you.
