Triston McKenzie’s projection looks solid-how worried are you about his ability to repeatedly hurl a baseball?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

Certainly at least mildly so

Every time I see him, I just want to make him a sandwich

Mark

How do the logistics of guest speaking on the radio work? Do they send you a cold email? Do you get paid a flat fee for 30 minutes of conversation? Or is it voluntary and just something fun to do? Part of working at Fangraphs if someone wants to host a writer?

Dan Szymborski

12:52

I can't go into all of it

12:53

But generally speaking, people will ask me in an email or a Twitter DM if I'd like to come on

FanGraphs doesn't have official deals with anyone in that regard

But I've been doing radio hits for 20 years and among baseball nerd circles, there's some familiarity with me

and I'm an easy guest to have on

12:54

And I've done some weird things. I had a regular Friday appearance on Canada Laughs on SiriusXM for awhile before it transmuted into Canada Talks

Interesting that you mention Cincinnati style chili. This is essentially the "meat sauce" on top of a Rochester "garbage plate." Have you ever had one, and how much did you love it?

Dan Szymborski

12:55

I don't do garbage plates.

cool

I don't like food touching

Would signing both Imanaga and Montgomery be a better use of money than signing Yamamoto alone? I'm wondering if that's what Craig Breslow is thinking, anyway.

Dan Szymborski

12:55

Personally, I would prefer the former at the same salary

Jon

12:56

Why would you not want it to be in chronological order?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

I didn't express any feeling on the subject! I just don't think it's intended to be within the season

Chris

12:56

Congrats on 27lbs that’s not easy

Dan Szymborski

12:56

It helps to start as a fatass.

My stretch goal is to get back to my pre college weight of 175

Sad Fan

12:57

Is all hope lost for the Mariners?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

No, but they're going to run out of time to figure out that offense quickly

Unabashed fantasy question

12:57

Is alternate day fasting what it sounds like?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

Yes

I like this one because you have reduced calories, but there's less red tape involved.

You don't have to count anything

12:58

I can just eat normally one day, which is easy to do. And eating nothing the other day is pretty easy to administer too.

Jim

12:58

How about alternate day FATTING?

Dan Szymborski

12:58

I think fatting is more efficient if you do it every day

MEGALODON

12:58

Strider went on Foolish's channel to discuss albums of the year and took a shot at Rodrigo

Dan Szymborski

12:59

I have to admit to not knowing her music

the last five or six years, I think I've finally aged out of new music

Like I still buy a ton, but a lot of it is 90s/00s bands new releases

Chris

Can AI art make a piece contemplating the ethics of AI art?

Dan Szymborski

1:00

Maybe?

But in the meantime, here's Mt. Bartolo

Jon

Dan, if I'm coming off as pricky in my comments to you it's just because I don't know how to act in front of celebrities

Dan Szymborski

1:00

Calling me a celebrity is HUGE stretch

Jon

1:01

What site do you use for AI art?
