Holy crap, i was going to make fun of you for ineptitude, but you're not lying

It IS hard to search for will clark on fangraphs

1:08

You can go right to jack clark

1:09

Right to Jerald Clark

but not to Will Clark

Ozzie Ozzie Albies Free

1:09

Just hit space after entering Wll clark and it pops up easily.

Dan Szymborski

1:09

Yeah, but that's not an obvious solution

Corey Seager is a top ___ SS in 2019?

maybe will clark did not actually exist?

Ginny

The search for Will Clark just informed me of player Dad Clarkson, who played 1891-6

Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe

1:11

As "chili" is short for "chili con carne," can we agree that vegetarian chili is "chili sans carne?" I have no problem with both being shortened to "chili," for what it is worth, the same way the "Sox" can be the White Sox or the Red Sox.

Dan Szymborski

1:11

Vegetarian chili is called animal feed.

tough to believe Will Clark only had 2 great seasons looking at him....

Dan Szymborski

1:11

He started to have a lot of minor injuries that kinda draged him down a bit

Rockie Dangerfield

1:11

O/U 1.5 on how many of DJ LeMahieu, Carlos Gonzalez, and Gerardo Parra are brought back by the Rockies this winter?

Dan Szymborski

1:11

CarGo most likely

LeMahieu sounded like a player that doesn't think he'll be back in Colorado

and even the Rockies can't be dumb enough to bring Parra again

How come you don’t do the lightning round anymore?

Dan Szymborski

1:12

Do people prefer I do a Lightning Round rather than just answer things as they come?

Off topic, but on his podcast Dipto said that the Mariner's basically add fWAR & bWAR and half for player assessment. Surely this is sackable? I mean use resources available but shouldn't an MLB teams analytics be slightly more developed?

Dan Szymborski

1:12

On a basic level, it's fine.

People don't quite understand what teams do differently. It's not that they have different WAR measures

1:13

It's the way they use the data across departments, the way they integrate scouting and study things

Devil Ray Jay Johnson

1:13

Why is the Fangraphs Will Clark page just a picture of chili?

Dan Szymborski

1:13

He's made of no beans

Marcus Banks

1:13

There is a famous Chili Man in Charlotte who also makes a vegan chili. It is a favorite of Cam Newton's.

Dan Szymborski

1:13

So Cam Newton likes animal feed!

You may be 40, but are you a man?

Dan Szymborski

1:13

I'm under the impression that I am.

1:14

The body parts appear consistent, and my voice did change, but I have not had any DNA examination of this

Guest

1:14

IF you put cheese on a burger it becomes a cheeseburger!!

Dan Szymborski

1:14

Burger is a more generic form factor

1:14

Trump's $1 million for Warren's DNA test reminds me of Mr. Burns refusing to donate after seeing a pig fly.

Dan Szymborski

1:14

Meh.

1:15

The average white European-descent person has about the same % of Native-American DNA in genome studies

I don't think "I'm 1/64th to 1024th something!" was all that convincing a reveal. Not sure why she did it in the first place.

Lightning Round Lover

1:15

I'd prefer you answer things as they come as opposed to lightning round if and only if all of the questions that would normally be answered in the lightning round are still answered.
