Hello? Is this thing on? Yeah?

Welcome to the Inaugural Rob Neyer Baseball Nation Chat Session That Will Probably Have a Much More Memorable (Not to Mention Shorter) Title the Next Time Around, If There is a Next Time Around.

I'm learning how to use this format at the same time you are, so let's all be patient with each other. And if you really want to help out, post a question or eight and I'll get to as many as I can, beginning at 12:15 East.

Thanks, and welcome to the Biggest Adventure of Your Life ...

Friday's chat ended at 1:05 Eastern, but the transcript is below and Rob will be doing this again next week, at a time to be determined by the wind and the tides.
