I can’t believe somebody asked, and Steve answered, a question pertaining to Aledmys Diaz. There had to have been a more consequential question out there for Steve to choose from to answer. And for the poor soul who proffered the question in the first place, all I can do is SMDH. You have truly baffled & perplexed me this afternoon and left me in awe of the human condition.
Unrelated topic, but idk where to say this after hearing the Texas Rangers’ broadcast praising Jose Altuve. I keep hearing this nonsense that “Joe Morgan,” “Jose Altuve,” or pull a name out of a hat, may be the best offensive 2nd baseman of all time. He is a great immaculate grid answer. These guys forget that Rogers Hornsby even existed. Some writer on here was saying similar stuff. It’s even more interesting, given how these tend to be some of the “batting average above all else” guys, and yet a guy with a .358 batting average and multiple .400 seasons is ignored entirely. There should be a Rogers Honsby awareness day. I did a book report on this guy in 6th grade – others should as well. Hornsby’s CAREER OPS was 1.010, and he had a 175 career OPS+. Guys consider Semien so good for getting an .800 OPS in a good offensive environment… consider a career of over 1.000 in a lower offensive environment! More walks than strikeouts too, though those were much more common before
Sonny doesn’t get the years or $ mentioned in the chat. Dudes averaging about 5 inn/start. And that’s for the last few years.
Who pays $20M for “about 5 innings a start”?
Oh, the Mets.
I just submitted a question. Let’s see if it gets answered.
Well?
Crickets.
Mine didn’t either. That’s how it goes sometimes.
I submitted one as well, mine never seem to get answered. I feel as though only people who pay get their questions answered.
Just read Steve Adams chat, fans don’t know White Sox still exist anymore!!
Who are these White Sox you speak of?

Steve answers the “low hanging fruit” questions.
This made me LOL!
