But for 2021, it'll automatically weigh 2020 less and not use prorated stats

How long until it's politically correct for Weird Al Yankovic to release a new song titled "My Corona" (a parody of "My Sharona)?

Dan Szymborski

12:40

He already said he wasn't going to

And he's already done one parody with it

This is base opportunism on the part of MLB. These measures bear no reasonable connection to the crisis or the financial state of the teams. It does, however, carry out efforts to smash spending on amateur talent MLB has been advancing for years. twitter.com/kileymcd/statu…

Dan Szymborski

One thing MLB and the MLBPA can always agree on is taking money away from amateur signees.

Matt Klentak

the parody is "nine coronas"

What Matters Most: Identification of Contextual Factors of Faculty Organization .....Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Dan Szymborski

12:42

Assign each of your faculty members as a Dorito flavor

fuzzy clustering if you want

The draft is always a crapshoot, and the cheapest way for teams to add talent. I don't see the benefit of delaying it, or canceling it altogether.

Matt Klentak

12:42

I think the guys who are still rookie eligible but have used "more than half" of their rookie eligibility will get screwed out of thier "rookie season" if they just add 2019's service time. Maybe they will put a clause that you cant exceed your rookie eligibility in this added service time

Dan Szymborski

12:42

It seems to be.

LAXTONTO

12:42

but I only like one dorritos flavor.. so that means I hate everyone else?

Dan Szymborski

12:43

Possibly. You should be more Doritobjective.

Jeff

A draft plan that feeds the NCAA talent as they prep to renegotiation media rights or a cable deal within 3 years? Color me shocked

sportznut

Sure, but some guys will try to rehab before surgery when TJ appears to be the only solution.

Dan Szymborski

12:43

Eh, in these cases, I believe TJ surgery was storngly recommended.

Not sure if you've seen this, btw, but this classical music mashup is gold: . Also, what if you hate all Dorito flavors period?

Dan Szymborski

Even though the 3 year average #'s don't bare out the fact that Chavez Ravine is more unfavorable to RH hitters than Fenway, what is your opinion from a greater than 3 year data standpoint? More favorable for RHB CR or Fenway?

Dan Szymborski

12:44

I think it's not enough of a difference to worry about

Matt Klentak

12:45

Can you put up a poll to see how many people in this chat are working from home or in their offices?

LAXTONTO

12:47

Is it sad to say I am considering using a background image of purgatory for my next zoom meeting?

Have you ever taken the NPI (Naracistic Personality Inv)? I have a interesting hypothesis on how quant professionals peg certain areas driven by their cognitive need to solve problems.

Dan Szymborski

12:49

I have not taken it.

I don't know if you are aware, but Ben Clemens is going around not just advocating for bean stew but calling it chili/

I'm an electrician. We got shut down last week. I'm home, but not working (obviously).

Dan Szymborski

12:53

I guess you can't really work remotely.

"Uh, yeah, OK, turn off the circuit breaker. Next, we'll rewire your kitchen over skype!"

Quick question

12:53

Hey Dan, which scorecard do you like to use for MLB games (if you're into that kind of thing)?

Dan Szymborski

12:53

I'm not a scorecard guy.
