Welcome to my first mailbag column here at the new AG-dot-com.
Good news: More than 130 questions were submitted, which made me feel pretty silly for worrying the response might not be as strong as it was at The Athletic.
Bad news: That makes it tough to answer more than a fraction of your questions, although I did write over 2,600 words (double a normal article) trying my best.
Other good news: Mailbags are going to be a regular feature, so you'll have plenty of future chances to get questions answered if you struck out in the first at-bat.
Let's open up the mailbag and see what's on your minds about a third-place team that's followed a 5-16 stretch with a 10-4 stretch to climb within a game of .500.
Note: Submitted questions have been edited for clarity and length.
