Have you ever been demonetised or copyright striked on any of your videos

Ben Skellern

What has happened so far this season that most surprised you?

GayGay Bleday

Who do you think someone’s going to finish the season (if it ends up going 60 games) with a +.500 obp?

Alex H

Bailey you mentioned in an interview you have been to germany, can you tell us about that? Why did you go and what did you?

Andrew

This is gonna sound like I want to push you to my side of it but I'll write it as non biased as I can Do you think that with modern shifts, and defensive positioning that 1st Base should still be treated as it has been historically (like the easiest position, and or the one where you put the big fat guy who hits the ball out of the ballpark all the time) , both in public perception, and things like positional adjustment?

If you had the ability to place a big ol' pit somewhere on the baseball diamond, where would you put it?

Joseph Swayze

How come everyone laughed at me before the season when I said that the dodgers would have a perfect 60-0 season when we see MLB's Jeff Passan never taking an L ? Thanks, Emilo

Harry Lewis

Firstly, congrats on getting Larry Walker into the Hall of Fame. I know you'll try to dismiss that, but I genuinely think without the impact that your video, and subsequent mini-campaign, had on the baseball internet discourse, he would've ended up a few votes shy. Building on that, are there any other players, either currently on the ballot or due in the next few years, that you can see being unfairly overlooked by the writers? Personally I'd go for Billy Wagner - he beats Trevor Hoffman in pretty much every category aside from saves, but no-one's trying to name an award after him and he's stuck on 30% in the voting. Thanks for all the great work you do!

Angel Marquez

do you think a bubble like the nba could have worked for the 2020 season and do you think it will get cancelled?

Jared Natsis

Which MLB players would you trust to watch your dog while you're out of town?

Michael Furey

Have you ever watched/gotten in cricket?

Taylor Hensley

Is there a stat that best captures how "exciting" a player is? Something like combining hitting (but not "boring" things like walks) and excellent defense?

Chris Drakkar

Notes on 1 and 3: 1: If there's any I miss and you would rather use, go for that one instead. 3: Intangibles in quotation marks. What I mean is something that has always been said that can't be measured... UNTIL NOW!

Chris Drakkar

Maybe he goes in the all-name team (the idea from one other question around here), after all, his initials are BAT.

Chris Drakkar

Hey B, love your work. Three questions: 1: What type of fictional (or adapted) baseball executive would you be most like in terms of goofy personalities? Rachel Phelps from Major League, George Steinbrenner from Seinfeld, or Billy Beane in Moneyball? 2: What's your favorite baseball situational?: My favorite (and the one I will use as an example) is top of the 7th with one out and the bases loaded and the home team is leading by 1 run. The reason is that in Tango's Book, it was a situational which yielded a 50.000% win percentage for both teams, so it's a brand new ball game from there. 3. With baseball becoming more and more measured each day, what intangible attribute would you like to join the stat party?

If you could go back in time to watch any game in MLB history, what would it be and why?

Mazzocchi (Taylor's Version)

When are you doing a video on Beckham Trout? His star power is simply too big for you to continue to ignore. If there was a "Worst Player in History" exhibit at the Hall of Fame like in Futurama, who would you put there?

Andy Johnston

Best big ticket free agent deal of all time (>$100M)

Colin Warren

What's your MLB All-Name Team? A starting line up of the best names to ever grace the field.

Delos Chen

Most devastating pitches of all time (e.g. Pedro's changeup, Mo's cutter, Nolan Ryan's fastball)

Andy Johnston

I would buy it in a heart beat

Matt Swanson

Should the Nats have tried to keep Rendon over Strasburg?

Joshua Lee

Care for the DH or dislike it?

Michael Ashour

As a Braves fan, do you look at their incredible run of division titles from '91-'05 and see it as a disappointment because they only won one World Series?
