But I can't complain TOO much because I literally got $300 less for my 2018 Crosstrek than I paid for it in 2018.

Which pitcher(s) would you target if you were running the Angels?

Dan Szymborski

Can you politely ask Mr. neural net to create a story about the time Zips tried to project where Story would land in the 2021/22 offseason?

Dan Szymborski

12:48

You can ask!

Angels ought to be in on Scherzer *and* Eduardo Rodriguez/Carlos Rodon

Where does ZiPS forecast I left my sunglasses?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

Appa Yip Yip

12:54

Could Nightwing beat up Batman?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

Without the gadgets I'll say yes

I take transit most days, debating selling my vw golf. Used value has gone way up since I bought it a year ago but i don't know when I'll be able to get a relatively cheap car again

“This year, Father Time comes for Nelson Cruz”, I whispered to myself for the 8th year in a row.

TooDamnTall

12:54

Have you ever lied and pretended zips predicted some area it doesn't, like elections or cattle futures etc

Dan Szymborski

12:54

I believe I've made a joke about it

12:55

Thought not actually *lied*

Luis Ca-steal-yo Girl

12:55

Does Stroman's xERA-to-ERA difference worry you going forward and with any potential age cliff he might see in his next contract?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

I'm not. ZiPS is frequently agreeing with the Statcast derived data, but is not in this case

How many pancakes does ZiPS project me to eat?

Could Nightengale beat up Bartman?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

Bartman's younger, so without specific knowledge of their relative fighting abilities, I'd say no

12:58

However, if the fight takes place in a media environment, Bobby might be around and then Bob can tag out and they would have the advantage

Key Flaw

12:58

I asked her for Adidas and she bought me ZiPS

One time Jeff Sagarin told me he juiced Rutgers in his ratings when Ray Rice was there because they attended the same high school. That comment has not aged well.

TooDamnTall

12:58

I know in the past you've said that Shane Bieber's breakout was zips shiniest success. Is there a turd projection from the past that keeps you up at night?

Dan Szymborski

12:58

LASTINGS MILLEDGE DEAR GOD

Jeb

12:58

If zips were a terminator, which one would it be?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

Gary Terminator, head of the terminator services department

Feline Steve

12:59

Adley Rutschman or Dinelson Lamet? I can hold over one.

Dan Szymborski

12:59

Gotta go with Adley

as much as I love Lamet

Juan soto

12:59

Should I sign a 5 year deal to bank a fortune and then hit free agency again when I’m even better or hold out for the mega deal in a couple years?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

Don't sign a five year deal unless the numbers are CRAZY SAUCE

Pumpsie Green

Who wins the NL East if no one signs anyone, or if they all improve from here by exactly the same amount? Phillies?

Dan Szymborski

1:01

Phillies, I'm pretty sure

If Freeman signs fairly quickly, then Braves

Pumpsie Green

The Rockies seem deeply loyal to THEIR guys. MLB is very predatory, especially this time of year. Do the Rockies generate good will among some players by zigging? Or is every player all about the zag?

Dan Szymborski

1:01

Their loyalty seems to be quite variable.

1:02

It's weird, the Rockies usually show a lot of loyalty to their front office employees. But they're so incompetent at knowing who should make decisions that the loyalty is a bad thing in terms of the Rockies competing
