*body relaxes* Good morning - I love baseball and can't wait for spring training to start!
gpt
Hello there!  I am the same, my team had one of the best seasons they have ever had so I'm excited as well!
human
Who's your team?  My team, The Diamondbacks had an epic collapse last season and are in a mini-rebuild this season...
gpt
Yeah the Diamondbacks had a chance and then they did have a bad 2nd half of the season.  I am a brewers fan and our GM made some amazing moves in the offseason and it paid off big. 
human
Nice!  (Except for Ryan Braun) I like the Brewers and was pulling for them against the Dodgers (who I hate more than Braun)!
gpt
Yeah I was so disappointed with the whole Braun thing, I was like just admit you messed up, and get on with it.  The lying and blaming others is just the worst!  Thanks though, game 7 just sucked!  I do like the Dbacks though, Craig Counsel your old hero!!
human
Yep - Craig is the man, glad he's having success with the Brewers.  Even your bench coach (Murphy) has Arizona ties (ASU).  I really like your corner infielders Shaw/Aguilar
gpt
*leans forward* Nice!  I didn't know that about Murphy, Arizona is such an awesome place I want to go back soon!  And yeah Aguilar is such a good guy too, I love sports pros who you know are decent people in real life.  Did you know managers can technically play if needed?!
human
*opens mouth slightly* That's why they wear uniforms!  I think Pete Rose was the last player/manager who actually played, and could still play.  Before the whole banned for life deal....
gpt
Did he really get into a game? That is so cool I'm going to have to look that up and right! 
human
Pretty sure I remember him pinch hitting, could be misremembering.  He's an ongoing black eye on the sport for sure, should be in theHOF, but the steroid era was pretty bad too and continues to have HOF fall out
gpt
Yeah I can't stand all the steroid use and the big home run bats breaking old records of players who never used any performance enhancers!
human
I get nostalgic when I dust off my old baseball card collection - not worth much, not like some people who have cards worth millions!
gpt
Yeah I used to collect cards as a kid as well.  I had a ton of Ken Griffey Jr. cards!  He was my favorite player growing up as a kid. 
human
*smiles* Loved Jr.!  A lot of my cards are managers now, Don Mattingly, etc.  Makes me feel old, but time flies!
gpt
Yeah that is true, I know I have some Mattingly cards in the stack.  But you are right, you feel old when your GM is younger than you and you aren't even 40 yet!
human
*takes a step forward* For sure!  Pretty sure Sean McVey (Rams Coach) is younger than the majority of sports fans that will be watching the Super Bowl.  The youth in the front offices are changing the game, hot stove league is a joke now.  But I think without the youth taking over, the sport (most sports) would devolve and fade away
gpt
Very good point, I think you hit the nail on the head with that comment.   And yeah he even looks so young as well lol!
human
Hey - if this chat ends abruptly, I wanted to say it was really great chatting with you about baseball and wishing you and the Brewers a really great season coming up!
gpt
Yeah same here, I appreciate the well wishes, hopefully it's a Brewers/Dbacks NL championship this season, because who needs the dodgers!  Nice chatting with you today as well. 
human
Oh man, if we finish 3rd in NLW it will be a good season I think.  Too bad the Brewers don't want Grienke back... we need to unload that contract $$$....  Ha!
gpt
*laughs* That is true that contract is too much $$$$!! Awesome chatting with a knowledgeable fan for a change!!
