Yup, every year! And initial OOTP abilities are set by ZiPS

Assuming a shortened season, everything I'm reading seems to indicate a narrower range of outcomes for SPs that hitters. Meaning the top-tier SPs are worth less b/c they're not getting 30 starts and 200+ IPs, and guys on a potential innings count (i.e. Luzardo) are now more valuable. Agree/disagree/neutral?

Dan Szymborski

1:14

I don't think it's for that reason, but the uncertainty of pitchers makes them more even, especially injuries

Though it will help the IP count guys

Can you explain why, these things the way they are, really why is that? Why are things like that?

Dan Szymborski

1:14

It's our quantum state!

How can Wander Franco hit 3 HR in 223 PA and get projected for 60 Game / 60 Raw?

Dan Szymborski

1:16

Nobody hits homers in the FSL

And he's 18.

And also, Eric has a chat! Dan's not in Eric's head which would be weird

How big an upgrade is Anno 1800 from 1440? Worth having to purchase a brand new PC for?

Dan Szymborski

1:17

It's an excellent game. And it's a *different* game too.

The system requirements are fairly high. Anno 1800 has a lot going on on the screen and there are a lot of calculations

LAXTONTO

1:17

So if the teams lose the season, what happens to service time?

Dan Szymborski

1:17

No idea, I imagine it freezes, which is why players will likely risk a lot to make sure there are some games

LAXTONTO

1:17

Am I a bad person becuase I have never played any of the Final Fantasy games?

Dan Szymborski

1:17

They might not be your cup of tea, which is fine

1:18

Man, many smart and wonderful people enjoy watching association football. I do not. I loved playing sports as a kid EXCEPT soccer, which I found every excuse to weasel out of when we did it in gym class

I try to watch the World Cup every time and I just literally doze off

How are your home gym workouts coming along? BSOYL?

I’m getting my fix with 5 StratOmatic teams and midway of a slow draft on NFC, I need stats! Stat!

Do we know if tomorrow's opt out date for veterans on minor league deals is still in effect?

Dan Szymborski

1:19

No idea, I would guess not

I listened to lebatard and Stugotz last week and Stugotz had chicken cutlet, melted cheddar, light mayo, lettuce, salt, and pepper.

I think you should provide us your top 10 sandwiches

Dan Szymborski

1:19

That's more of an Eno question! I go with what's in my fridge

I do enjoy various salami and I'm a big fan of speck. And I like really horribly fragrant cheeses like limburger

1:20

I dont' really care for the whole _____ salad genre, except for egg salad.

Chris

No draft would suck

Stugotz's full Top 10
10) PB&J on toast
9) Meatball parm sub
8) Cheesesteak
7) BLT
6) Turkey and Roast Beef Sub
5) Tuna on toast with ruffle chips
4) Turkey Club
3) The patty melt
2) Grilled cheese with tomato and bacon

Dan Szymborski

Cheesesteak would be at my top

It took me a long time to test out enough cheesesteaks to find adequate ones here in Chicago

1:21

I wasn't from Philly, but Baltimore area is close enough to Philly that you do get a lot of transplants that can do it right

Dalessandro's should move to my town!

WTF?

Dbo

1:21

Monty's in Chicago is a pretty good cheesesteak
