Comment From KRS Juan
Do you think it’d be possible to get HR/PA for custom dashboards (for batters) instead of HR/FB?

Comment From Cal Guy
Better keeper, Walker or Gausman?

9:03
Paul Swydan: Well, Walker hasn’t failed yet, so I guess him. But really they’re both still good keepers.

9:03
Jeff Zimmerman: Agree on Walker.

You’re a rascal, Sullivan

Dan Szymborski: And we are live

11:58
Dan Szymborski: Well, technically close to live, you see what I type after it’s already been typed

11:59
Dan Szymborski: So essentially, I’m speaking to you from the past.

11:59
Dan Szymborski: Just the very close past.

Comment From Tom
If Mo stopped by your house on his farewell tour, what would you give him as a present?

11:59

Comment From JEB
Did you know Ernie Shore’s house is in Winston Salem? This has been your fun NC trivia fact for the day.

12:00
Dave Cameron: Well, the old stadium used to be called Ernie Shore Field, so while I didn’t know that his house was here, that’s not a huge surprise.

12:00
Comment From Daniel
What would your headline be the morning after the Royals sneak up and take the 2nd wildcard spot?

12:00
Dave Cameron: “It’s 2043, and the Royals finally did it.” Hint: they aren’t making the playoffs this year.

12:01
Comment From JEB
Puppy update?

12:01
Dave Cameron: Biting has gotten a lot better, now fully house broken, and she’s up to 30 pounds. Still adorable, still a lot of work.

FanGraphs After Dark Chat – 9/10/13

Paul Swydan: Hi everybody!

Jeff and I will be here at 9 pm ET to answer all of your base-and-balling queries, and even some of other natures as well.

The queue is open, and the polls are coming up. See you soon!

9:00
Paul Swydan: Hi peoples.

9:01
Jeff Zimmerman: Yo.

Comment From Jacob S
A friend threatened to revoke my “nerd card” after I admitted that I don’t really care about Star Trek. I read Fangraphs, play D&D, play approximately 500,000 different video games, and typically spend an hour a week hanging out at a comic book store. Am I safe from this supposed revoking of my nerd card?

9:01
Paul Swydan: I think you’re good, Jacob S.

9:02
Jeff Zimmerman: You should have the Gold nerd card.

Jeff Sullivan FanGraphs Chat — 9/10/13

9:03
Jeff Sullivan: Hey there everybody, sorry for the delay. I’m currently day-to-day with lower back spasms or something and it’s taking me forever to move around the apartment.

9:04
Jeff Sullivan: It’s the oldest I’ve felt in a while, but at least the sitting position is relatively comfortable. So let’s chat baseball!

9:05
Comment From Dewey
Care to gauge T. Walker’s trade value after his cup of coffee?

9:05
Jeff Sullivan: Mariners question! It’s high, no doubt, and it helps that now he’s had some success at the big-league level, but it’s a shame two of those starts had to come against the Astros.

9:06
Jeff Sullivan: It could’ve gone a lot worse, though. So Walker’s a big trade piece, that they won’t trade.

Comment From BackSpasms
Hey Brah, mind if I stay awhile!?

Dan Szymborski: Is party time.

11:58
Dan Szymborski: One week, I’m going to do a very angry chat with no explanation, just to confuse people. But not today.

11:58
Comment From Chris
Dan, Dan, he’s our man. If he can’t do it, someone else probably could with a lot less snark….

11:59
Dan Szymborski: Me snarky? I’m a regular Huell Howser. I love everything and everybody.

11:59
Dan Szymborski: And everything farts sunshine rainbows and magical leprechauns with hats of love and mutual respect all the time.

11:59
Comment From Dan
As a heads-up I’ll be asking lots of q’s about fringy guys this week. Hope that’s cool.

Eno Sarris: top of the hour you will feel my power no that’s lame I’m really more tame

12:01
Eno Sarris: lyrics of the day

And the crowd chants “Get that paper!”
And the mob says “Kill that witch!”
This city get mad to the max better wave bye-de bye to the high scrapes kids
Get a tin foil hat for the rain, in
Hot water from the roof to the basement
