Does Carter Capps return from TJ with the same delivery?

If Machado gets injured and Alvarez plays 3rd, how hilarious will the Baltimore defense be?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:49
That's not even funny.

Still 4.

Dan, Jhonny going down has really put me a bind. My best SS options are either Jon Villar or Eduardo Escobar. They're both pretty sucky but who would you pick?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:51
Escobar has less scariness looking over his shoulder

Which hitter outside of last year's top ten is most likely to beat out Trout and Harper for top WAR?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:52
Correa, though it's tricky to beat out both.

Ever seen anyone quit an auction draft in the first round because they didn't get the players they wanted? I did it Saturday. I didn't get my nomination in before the limit, and instead of turning my bids off for 1 player the commish left it on for 3 players. Missed out on harper and Max because of human error. So I quit and ruined the draft.

Don't you think the A.J. Reed crowd might be looking past Tyler White, who has been crushing it since he became a professional? Peak performance Billy Butler a good comp for White?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:55
PEAK Billy Butler as a White comp? We're getting a little overexcited here.
12:56
If you think Tyler White's best comparison involves a 130 OPS+, you're rather unaware of the history of walk-heavy 1B old for their levels.

Better experience at a game: Catch a foul ball, get on kiss cam or witness a brawl?
AvatarDan Szymborski

Foul ball. I like stuff

Good prospects but they have no idea where they're going and you kinda lose interest.

If you are going to protest vote, vote Kasich. Or are you not a fan of more chaos?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:58
Kasich has been the best Trump-enabler. I'm not rewarding him for that.

As a natural rights libertarian, how would you respond to a utilitarian argument for some provision of welfare to the least well-off in society w/o deferring to the basic liberty answer (full disclosure, I'm a left-leaning Canadian econ and polisci student)
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:59
I'm pragmatic. I see libertarianism as a goal to work *towards* not something you just implement on Day One of a dictatorship.

Today is the day that med students find out whether they got a residency (and are allowed to continue their careers and training), or if they just wasted $200,000 and 8 years of their lives. Not really baseball relevant, but good luck to everyone!

Is Zips an OLS regression model, or more complicated than that?

If I was that lazy I woudln't even bother.
