Hi Dan! Do you play out of the park, and if you do what does your typical save/game look like?

Dan Szymborski

1:25

I do

1:26

I usually play rebuilding teams

or the O's

It's especially fun since OOTP uses my projections as a starting point

Tom

1:26

Total mentions in that chat: 12 of Trump, 4 of HRC, 2 of Sanders, 2 of Bush, 2 of GOP

To be fair, our brains were collectively broken by winter of 2015-16

Dan Szymborski

1:27

I'm sure it was the fault of you guys, because it's a really weird day when I bring up politics on my own

Have you?

1:27

Have you ever used your last name spelling as if it were the word "simulate" aka "szymulate".

Dan Szymborski

1:27

I have, sadly

I've also described something as szympatico

Buford

1:27

Who is the worst general manager to have won a World Series?

Dan Szymborski

1:28

worst as in absolute or worst relative to GMs of the time?

if the latter, Dayton Moore

but he's probably be 10th best or so in 1985

Victoria

hot dog is a nickname for a frankfurter

brad penny for your thoughts

1:30

How many of these have you had?

Dan Szymborski

1:32

six I think

If I'm eating a hot dog, I mostly just want kraut and a little mustard

Tom

1:32

Rose, thank you for posting my wishes on your timeline

Guest

so, technically speaking, does every player have a 1.000/1.000/.4000 ceiling and a .000/.000/.000 floor?

Dan Szymborski

1:33

Yeah, though that's purely theoretical

SC

1:33

Would you rather keep Royce Lewis in the 9th round or Josh Jung in the 16th?

Dan Szymborski

1:33

Lewis

cool

1

YOu don't have to have him healthy enough to play hard positions to get the position qualification

brad penny for your thoughts

1:34

are you a fan of the baltimore hot dog?

Dan Szymborski

1:35

I assume you mean the old Attman's dog?

1:36

No, I don't care for bologna or double up on my hot dog meats

TomBruno23

1:36

Matt Carpenter v Patrick Corbin right now oh babbbbbeeeeeeeeee

1:37

and Corbin with the backwards K on a pitch down the middle.

Dan Szymborski

Resistible force 1, movable object 0

You and I are about the same age, and I'm starting to think about retirement. Do you have a succession plan for Zips? Could someone else even do it, or is too much of the process in your head?

Dan Szymborski

1:37

I don't have a succession plan, honestly

1:38

I probably should have one for if I drop dead suddenly

it's doable, but there's a learning curve and I'd need to document how I do more things

1:39

like the database that goes into the projections has a zBABIP field for hitters, for example, but someone who has ZiPS wouldn't know where to get the zBABIP

Tom

Rose, thank you for posting my thanks on your timeline. not necessary and you can stop now. Regards
