5 straight sliders to Canha by Castillo. Amazing.

So weird to see Diego Castillo on the hill instead of in the box.

Y'all Diego Castillo, an American League relief pitcher, has absolutely zero interest in batting in this interleague game.

Heteroskedasticity is one of those words whose spelling is demonstrative of its meaning. The further along you are in the word, the greater the standard deviation of spelling errors.

Dan Szymborski

10:19

heh, Jason knows what it means!

10:20

Essentially, it means that the variability of a variable is...uh...variable across a range of values

huh?

10:20

Can you please elaborate on the projecting tears comment?

Dan Szymborski

10:20

Someone asked if ZiPS projected the odds of them crying.

Matt

10:20

Not sure if LFC was being funny...but isn't that actually what Marcel is named after?

Dan Szymborski

10:20

Yes

10:20

Are there stats for tears+ or is that incorporated into grit+?

Dan Szymborski

Matt

10:21

Does tear+ adjust for tears of joy vs tears of sadness?

Dan Szymborski

10:21

Yes, tear+ is relative to apathy.

Lunar verLander

10:21

Liam Hendriks has to be in the conversation for most underpaid vs. WAR over a career.

Dan Szymborski

Ozzie Albies in a decade.

Jordan

Dan I would trade you for a good chili with beans

Dan Szymborski

10:22

Why are you so determined to trade me?

10:22

Will tears+ be used in arbitration or just Boras’s books to owners?

Dan Szymborski

10:22

oof

Belli Flop

Apathy is Joe Buck in a nutshell

Dan Szymborski

10:22

Yeah, Davis went

Al Gore

10:22

Chili should be all beans. Your meateating is destroying the planet.

Dan Szymborski

10:22

Beans are good, it's just not chili

ARe there any studies on overuse in the bullpen? Seems like it'd be a good project for machine learnign to see patterns in outings (pitch count, innings per outing, rest, etc).

Dan Szymborski

10:23

There have been studies on total innings

I haven't seen anything substantial on pitch count or outing length.

Though it's certainly possible there is something I haven't seen, I'm not sabermetrics god.

Matt

10:24

So is Kris Davis a second data point to begin to prove that the lim PA -> Inf of wRC+ * BOOL(Player Name Sounds Like Chris Davis) = 0?

Dan Szymborski

10:24

heh

Belli Flop

10:24

Manaea tonight, and yes I know I should not care about this for several reasons: 18.00 ERA and a 1.20 xFIP

Giuliani

”Right on right crime”

Dan Szymborski

10:25

It seems like the game has started going at a more typical pace the last couple innings
