Continuing to maximize profit while minimizing payroll expenditure and convincing the city to fund a new stadium.

Chris

10:02

I wish we could have Benetti and Petriello more often. They work really well together.

Fangraph's lurker

Dan can only do broadcast for the reds for obvious reasons

Dan Szymborski

10:03

that reason better not be chili

Matt

10:03

Are you implying that leaving a negative beard environment on the Yankees was the source of Gallegos success?

asking for a friend

10:03

Where are the rest of the Fangraphers? They got you all alone dealing with all these weirdos, Dan?

Dan Szymborski

10:03

Uhh...it's Beard+. It's automatically contextualized for the clean-shavenness policies of the organization

Ben Clemens

10:04

In fairness Dan is probably weirder than me, though maybe it's close.

Dan Szymborski

10:04

Who's a bigger weirdo than me? Why do you think ESPN never dared to put me on a panel!

Fangraph's lurker

10:04

the reason is it's bean stew with cinnamon served over pasta

Dan Szymborski

10:04

Olson had a 75 helmet smash there.

Ben Clemens

10:04

70 for me

Dan Szymborski

10:04

THe helmet has to actually shatter to get an 80

Ben Clemens

10:05

Little less post-impact spin axis than I like to see in a prototypical smash.

Dan Szymborski

10:05

I don't mean just crack. There have to be shards.

Nic

10:05

Ben, you do know that baseball is in fact a business, correct? Not a public service for your entertainment?

Baseball Reference

10:05

Dan Szymbabwe, you're the best. Don't care what anybody says.

Ben Clemens

10:05

I do indeed. I'm just saying, those are probably their priorities. I'm not here to make a judgment about that (though I do in fact have opinions!)

Dan Szymborski

10:06

Someone at the network once told me that if they gave me a show, it would be simultaneously be the most entertaining show and the biggest disaster in the company's history.

10:06

Dan - we should make a wager. If Zips projects anything in the post season wrong you have to go to Skyline and live stream now good it is

Dan Szymborski

10:06

Hey, I didn't agree to these stakes!

10:07

Am I getting a truck full of bacon if I'm right?

Blue

10:07

Enter the Jesus Lizard!

Ralph Rowdie

10:07

Jason Benetti is a wonderful broadcaster.

Lunar verLander

10:07

Didn't ESPN once employ Stephen A Smith? And they think YOU'D be their biggest disaster?

Dan Szymborski

10:07

I have no filter.

Eel Ffilc

10:08

What if a helmet comes back and hits you in the face? (Brett Gardner in the dugout this year)

Ben Clemens

10:08

If you guys heard the Benetti broadcast with Bill Walton, you'd never question him again.

Audrey Stark

10:08

I had a whole thing on self-inflicted baseball player injuries earlier this year, though it was mostly players punching walls.

Matt

10:08

(Dan, you should totally see what the other end of that ZiPS wager is since ZiPS just predicts probabilities and is impossible to prove incorrect)

Ben Clemens

10:08

Quite possibly the best game of baseball I've ever heard called.

Dan Szymborski

10:08

Oh, it is, you test the model with a lot of playoff series

Blue

10:08

✝️🦎

QQQ

10:08

You may have no filter, but on the other hand you're not an inarticulate boob.

Dan Szymborski

10:08

I can be both.

Mike Sixel

10:09

Just made chili out of leftover smoked pork butt. It did have beans..... It was quite good

Dan Szymborski

10:09

You should have made chili.

Lunar verLander

10:09

so...you made a stew?

Dan Szymborski

10:10

I like how I'm slowly browbeating the FanGraphs community into not putting beans in chili.

LFC Mike

10:10

I got banned for my Skyline Chili post night and now this run????
