“….John Smoltz inexplicably gets paid to tell us how much he hates the current game at great length every time he’s in the booth…
(Minor soapbox moment, but hey MLB, if you wonder why you struggle to attract new fans, maybe stop paying a bunch of cranky old players to whine about analytics and lament the current state of the game….”
Bless you Steve! This was the most honest and insightful comment in the chat!!
Miss the old school guys. Clearly just because you’re a Hall of Fame MLB player doesn’t mean you’re necessarily qualified to man the broadcast booth. Vin Scully, you are missed.
Steve answers 2 effing diet coke questions but he can’t be bothered to answer my unique baseball question.
I don’t think he’s EVER answered any of my questions over the years but all the other guys have. I’m starting to get a complex. I need to rethink my subscription.
He’s turning me into a bitter old man who doesn’t exist, just in time for the Holidays…..
1. It’s a chat about a game. It’s allowed to be fun/silly sometimes. You should check out FanGraphs chats where they talk about food, board games, music, cats, etc.
2. We’re waiting to read what your “unique” question was.
3. If every MLBTR writer besides Steve has answered your questions in the past, that’s probably more than most people have had answered.
4. This was a free chat open to everyone, not just subscribers, so the odds of having your question answered were smaller than for subscribers-only chats.
Trout may get traded. may. but there’s a zero percent chance its to the Dodgers. Anyone paying attention should know that.

The Giants should be in on trading for Mike Trout. They desperately need star power. May help land Ohtani too.
Ohtani has been teammates with Trout for years. How far has that gotten him? Not a single playoff game

Oh, and,
Happy Holidays Everyone!
What was your ‘unique’ baseball question?
No whining
I agree – nonsense questions are a waste of everyone’s time
And a question about baseball cap fashion!!??
This is why I pay money!!??
Go ahead people, kick me when I’m down.
Pile it on.
I deserve it…..
*KICK*
