Embrace

At least as I remember

No risk of weird trademark lawsuits

chili sandwich = sloppy joe more or less?

Dan Szymborski

12:34

If you're putting ketchup in your chili, I'm going to have to ban your IP!

Trying to convince people that the Rangers need to do more than sign Harper to become a championship team. What is a good resource to look at projected wins/losses for 2019?

Dan Szymborski

12:34

The Depth Charts have Steamer ready!

Doug

12:34

Harper is a better fit for the Padres than Machado. Change my mind.

Dan Szymborski

12:35

They ahve ten billion outfielders. Not as deep at 3B

535

5.5

Alex

first manager fired this season is _________?

Dan Szymborski

If the Nats start slow, I can see Martinez get a quick hook

GSon

Does Fangraphs intend to up their coverage of the Caribbean World Series, wherever it's played?.

Dan Szymborski

12:36

Dunno, I don't think it's come up

A ghost dies the moment Adam Levine removes his shirt unprovoked during a superbowl halftime show.

So far in ZiPS, which (non-mistake) projections has made you go "hmmmmmm" the most?

Dan Szymborski

12:38

ZiPS not being worried even a smidgen about Bellinger maybe?

Lazzaro Da Fietta

12:38

It's time for a Dodger/Giant trade. Joc Pederson for Will Smith. Who says no, Zaidi or Andrew?

Dan Szymborski

12:38

Dodgers say no I think

Outta my way, Gyorkass

12:38

I joined this chat a half hour in. Please tell me that doesn't mean I need to subject myself to a half hour worth of the Super Bowl halftime show.

Dan Szymborski

12:38

You have to see the first part, but you escape seeing him shirtless

Alex

12:38

Would you ever consider doing a Jon Heyman-style bitmoji of yourself as your avi?

Dan Szymborski

12:39

Maybe, I dunno. I usually just me.

I like to get people used to my gigantic head before they meet me so that they dont' run away and call a parade organizer to tell them one of the balloons got away

Joe

12:39

I think the Ale House is closed now, too.

Dan Szymborski

12:40

Yeah, I heard it closed and then someone told me they changed their mind. I'll check next time I'm there

Is the backlog on the HoF ballot finally cleared?

Dan Szymborski

12:40

We're getting there. It's not really *solved* in the sense that part of it was solved by deserving guys getting zero consideration and the rest by deserving players falling short after ten years

Yeah, the backlog will be gone, but it's a bit like solving your check engine light by resetting the codes every morning when you start the car

Outta my way, Gyorkass

12:41

Do you see the Brewers making any additional (significant) moves before ST and/or the regular season?

Dan Szymborski

Connecting…
