I'm sure ZiPS punishes the Padres rotation depth more than the FG method

Definitely not the ghost Dostoyevsky

1:05

What's your favorite Russian novel?

Dan Szymborski

1:05

War and Peace

My horde main in WoW is named Dolokhov

Punk

1:05

Has anyone ever told you that you look like Louis CK

Dan Szymborski

1:05

I've been told that

Adam

1:06

What's the worst TV show you've seen every episode of?

Dan Szymborski

1:06

The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret

1:07

I love David Cross work, but this show never really connected with me

and it just seemed too inconsistent

Dan

I have never seen the words Skyline Chili in print anywhere but fangraphs. I've never heard it spoken anywhere. How does it feel to be 100% of their marketing to this New Englander?

Dan Szymborski

1:07

I don't think all marketing is good marketing!

Key Flaw

1:07

Heck, let's expand every division. In what SIX cities would you put expansions (one for each division)?

Dan Szymborski

1:07

JFC

1:09

I'd have to put the second NY team in the AL East, since Charlotte makes more sense if Marlins and Braves are in teh division

I guess Las Vegas in NLW and Portland in ALW?

1:10

I'm not even sure on good central options

1:11

San Antonio or Austin and Nashville?

Sammy So-so

1:11

You know the Rockies are moving Kris Bryant to second.

Dan Szymborski

1:11

That's probably too creative for me

Morbo

1:11

The God of War reboot while good is overrated. Fighting a freaking Draugr shouldn't be difficult for a literal God of War I should be able to murder 50 of them a time with little effort. Also the Valkyrie Queen fight is cheap as hell on the hardest difficulty. Thank you for attending my Ted Talk

Is the AAA team in Charlotte too much of an obstacle to getting an MLB team? I certainly hope not. It's the largest city without an MLB team nearby.

Dan Szymborski

1:12

I doubt it.

1:14

Nobody cared about the Denver Zephyrs or Phoenix Firebirds the second those cities got expansion teams

1:15

Hell, the Zephrys were basically evicted from Mile High by the Rockies

And MLB cares about the minor leagues even less than they did 30 years ago

MilwaukeeBeerJays

1:15

Re: expansions. Bring back expos pls.

Dan Szymborski

1:15

Montreal would be another fun possibility

Heff

1:15

What non ballpark food would become better / more appealing if it were served at the ballpark?

Dan Szymborski

1:15

Grilled cheese on a stick?

Cave Dameron

1:15

If you had to have a major leaguer as a teammate, who would you choose?

Dan Szymborski

1:15

Trevor May?

Hugh Duffy

1:16

Dan the optimist here, thinking only half the chat will have an oblique injury before the end.

brad penny for your thoughts

1:16

the person who emailed you about your appearance...was it meant as an awkward compliment or was it from murray chass?

Dan Szymborski

1:16

Sadly, Murray hasn't written about me since that one blog post

1:17

where he coined me the Digital Dandy accidentally

He hasn't updated his blog in a few years and I've heard his health isn't so good, so no reason to rag on him right now

1:18

Though I'm still of the opinion he should have had his BBWAA card taken away because of his Mike Piazza acne report

He used his BBWAA access to report on a player's naked body. That is an inappropriate use of BBWAA credentials.

We are there to get quotes and the like, not to observe naked flesh.
