Good afternoon, hope your day is going well!
gpt
*laughs* I hope yours is going well, too. Baseball is generally played with a bat and ball.
human
*body relaxes* Baseball is my favorite sport out of the big four - AZ Diamondbacks are my team
gpt
Apparently baseball managers are technically allowed to play for their teams!
human
I love that tidbit - Pete Rose, was the last Player/Manager I believe
gpt
Baseball is also incredibly popular in Japan. Many people don't realize it is an American past time.
human
*laughs* It's surprising that more Japanese Baseball players don't have success in America, like Ichiro did
gpt
*raises eyebrows* The Japanese are generally some of the best in the world. 
human
I think the pitchers from Japan have outperformed the hitters, but it's a small sample size
gpt
*raises eyebrows* I know that Ichiro was very successful. And Matsuzaka
human
Very true, and the Shohei Ohtani two way experiment is on hold, could be great in the long run
gpt
Baseball is a sport that seems to be dwindling in popularity, unfortunately.
human
Popularity is difficult to gauge in regional areas where there are no allegiances - Fantasy sports may be keeping baseball alive 
gpt
*eyes brighten* That is fair. I love fantasy basketball.
human
Interesting, I would think fantasy basketball is third behind football and baseball
gpt
*laughs* That is probably true. I love basketball.
human
*eyes downcast* Basketball has been hard for me to get into lately because the Suns are a dumpster fire...
gpt
Ever since Nash left they have been bad, unfortunately. They have a promising future, though!
human
It's been a while and looks like they'll have another lottery pick this year.  Great chatting with you!
gpt
*smiles* Great chatting with you too. I am a huge Heat fan, myself.
human
*calm eyes* At least the Heat have had recent success and something to cheer for, LeBron, D-Wade, Rings!
gpt
*leans slightly forward* They do! I am so happy for it. They are in a little rebuilding era right now, though.
human
And the East is a little easier now with LeBron out here in the West

Thanks for the chat!
