You ever go back and regress the various, major progressions (ZIPS, BP, ESPN, etc) to see which one consistently more accurate?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:57
I do lots of roundups, some ZiPS wins, some ZiPS doesn't. I keep them to myself because I have an insurmountable conflict of interest.

We had a lot of pent-up questions, Dan....we missed you!

Are you stuck on an island and didn't tell anyone?

I hope not, my car is useless if I'm on a desert island.
Can I be on a dessert island?

If you could eat any animal, without affecting the survival of the species, what would it be?

Cow. Why mess with success? I know I like steak.

Should robots be allowed to play in MLB? How about cyborgs?

I'd say no, but I don't want to be accused of organicism if someone finds this in 50 years.

What if you were on a desserted island, would the car be a problem?

No, but at least I'd have whipped cream.

With the talk of pace of play being brought up, why doesn't Manfred make the umpires enforce the batter keeping 1 foot in the box at all times rule?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:58
Manfred seriously considers any sentence he sees.
2:59
Banning shifts? Considering it.
26-man roster? Considering it.
Make extra innings one of those gauntlets with the pain stick things from Klingon episodes of Star Trek The Next Generation? Considering it.

Making a plane out of meat and invading Narnia? Considering it.

Sure, why not?

Thanks for coming everyone! I normally like to stretch the chat to 75 or 90 minutes, but I'm really feeling quite poorly.
Interesting colors are coming out of my nose.
On that gross note, thanks for coming! As a reminder, you can find work at ESPN.com, chats and projections at FanGraphs, and at DSzymborski on Twitter.
