Did you ever find that bourbon slushie you were looking for?

Dan Szymborski

And people at the park were not helpful

Am I right that zips does not include framing? Why did you choose not to include (or include, if that's the case) it?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

ZiPS does

because it includes value

and framing brings value

though I do it conservatively given the predictive value of framing numbers

So, how is the Boston news media interpreting their starting pitching so far? A."Not taking an opponent seriously." B."Memo spring training over not sent." C."Mariner juggernaut offense explains early season shellacking."?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

C, but I tend to read national stuff first

What did you see from Paddack that stood out to you?

Dan Szymborski

12:58

His confidence with his changeup

12:59

There was no dinking around with it, he wasn't afraid to put it in a location close enough to wheelhouse to dare Giants to TRY and hit it

If your chili gives you diarrhea, it might be time for a change.

Dan Szymborski

12:59

Like most of my family, I do have some occasional digestive issues

I certainly don't have the stomach/intestines for spicy food that I once had.

Oh, if hot chicken were a big thing nationally 20 years ago, the amount of that I would eat!

Nate
