So if abilities are set by ZiPS, I would think you have a leg up on the competition when playing the game right? Who are some ZiPS prospect darlings I should target early?

Dan Szymborski

GLEYBER

The time freeze works both ways though if there's no season. Would Hosmer get 6 more years if there's no season this year? Man that would only add to the terribleness of bad contracts!

Dan Szymborski

1:22

oh god

I didn't consider that

I'm actually...unsure

I think unlike service time, the contracts expire the normal year since they don't go by service time

BUt I'm just pulling that out of my butt

How do you feel about potato chips on your sandwich, I think it adds a good crunch and salt

Dan Szymborski

1:23

Eh, I like potato chips as their own component

LAXTONTO

1:23

hmmm.... Top Sandwich list?

I'm in the process of making homemade corned beef. It will be ready to cook tomorrow. I plan on lightly smoking if for a couple hours before I boil it. I can't wait to make a sandwich with it.

cool

I have made both corned beef and pastrami before!

Dbo

Do you subscribe the the theory that the houston astros started this pandemic to get people to stop talking about them?

Dan Szymborski

1:23

Seems reasonable.

Morbo

1:27

You did this! You trolls!

Dbo

1:27

It all depends on the consistency, a tuna sandwich is made much better with Lays

Dan Szymborski

1:27

Now I don't like canned tuna

Tuna has to be fresh and lightly seared. I don't like canned albacore

Do you still play Hearthstone? Some huge changes are happening with introduction of new hero, changes to priest, f2p economy.

Dan Szymborski

1:27

I still do and I'm a big fan of all the changes.

1:28

Except for Spellbreaker. For those who don't know the card offhand but also know Hearthstone, it's a four mana 4/3 that mutes. I think that it would have been better to just make the card more mana expensive. I think having *a* silence available serves as a check on the greediest of decks

Morbo

Also I uploaded proof that I changed my team name per the poll results to Craig's chat last week. He refused to post the scree shot but did confirm that I changed my team name.

Wander Franco player comparable in the future? Who do you think he will be? Floor and ceiling.

Dan Szymborski

1:29

Players like Franco tend to succeed; he's amazingly good at a very young age

The ceiling is unlimited.

I think his floor is Carlos Gomez.

Dbo

1:29

What are you doing in Chicago?

Dan Szymborski

1:29

I'm not in Chicago!

1:30

But we have a very slow chat possibly because of the different time

Your chili recipe is confusing: Meat + spices + masa harina = tamales. Do you eat your chili out of a corn husk? Pro tip: tamales are great with a side of delicious beans.

Dan Szymborski

1:30

The ratios are very different

A tiny amount of masa goes into chili just to thicken it slightly so it sticks together better

LAXTONTO

1:30

So what should I be working on now? Im tired of listening to myself talk to the computer

Dan Szymborski

1:30

Vaccine!

What kind of cheese does Dan like on his cheesesteak?

Dan Szymborski

1:31

Whiz or provolone

Morbo

1:31

Dbo that would be a very Astros thing to do
