Dan the Man, what team looks for promising for the next few years, Mets or White Sox?
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:53
White Sox more upside
9:54
But they could still blow it

What is going on with Diekman’s beard?
just completely bypassing his jawline and just going straight from the ear to the chin

How many servings are in a Ben & Jerry's pint. I usually make it three, but tonight, I feel like I can justify two.
AvatarDan Szymborski

A serving is whatever is in your heart.

As we said earlier, Beard+ is very important to a bullpen

These puns are so bad, they worse than inPHAMticide.

German Marquez was in the Dickerson trade...

I think taking Souza over Turner was more obviously horrific at the time of the trade.

Whom do the Cards most regret trading: Tommy Pham or Luke Voit?
I only see green
9:57
Dan the Man, will the A's mount an epic comeback? Quick! Got the bookie on hold.
Ben Clemens
9:57
Pham by far. It's not even clear the Cards lost the Voit trade.
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:57
No
Gallegos was quite solid!
Ben Clemens
9:58
They probably did, but it's at least arguable. Gallegos is real.
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:58
And I appreciate Gallegos bailing ZiPS out this year.

Manaea was not the messiaea tonight, he’s a naughty boy

Pham has been worth a spicy 5.9 WAR for the Rays
AvatarDan Szymborski

He was more Manaeassah of Judah?

I got several "Who, WTF ZiPS?" type responses when ZiPS had Gallegos at a 3.02 ERA coming into the season. 24th-ranking ERA among the ~1400 pitchers projected.

based on the commercials it seems like football is popular
Ben Clemens

Dan I was not yet working at FG when those projections came out and was doing some Cards projections.

Does ZIPS incorporate beard Beard projectivity?
Ben Clemens
10:00
and I kept being like, okay, have to manually strip out Gallegos, there's an error in the code.
AvatarDan Szymborski

Don't have enough beard data
10:01
Gallegos and Bieber were the two pitching projections that really kept me up at night so I've been ecstatic how that worked out.
Giolito's projection was the most wrong, but EVERYONE missed on Giolito so it doesn't bother me.

What is priority number 1 for the As in the off-season if they lose this game?
Audrey Stark
10:01
Pham, I'd say, because while they have an outfield logjam they signed premiere cinnamon roll Paul Goldschmidt.

Yeah, that would be a disaster.
