I think so

12:40

But I question the Royals competence

When will ZiPS merge with "Szymage" AI to show Pixar rendered player projections?

Dan Szymborski

12:40

we're still aways off

12:41

I DID ask the AI for a photo of the FanGraphs staff.

12:42

I also asked it for an image of FanGraphs, which it really didn't understand

Nolan Jones

12:42

Do I get AB’s and can I hit?

Dan Szymborski

12:43

No, yes

Markakis

12:43

I just remember all that 3000 hit talk and was surprised to see when I checked just now that he ultimately didn't get to 2400. Then again he ended up being done at age 36

Kevin

You are understandably critical of how the Rockies approach many things. Is that based entirely on your own observations, or do you also get insights from others who work in MLB organizations?

Dan Szymborski

12:44

There's a mix of it

12:45

I do talk to lots of people, and while I try to be objective, it's hard to be truly 100% objective no matter how hard you try to squash those biases

Here are the ingredients of my stew: chuck roast; chile peppers; olive oil; chicken stock; cinamon; nutmeg; salt and pepper. Is it chili?

Dan Szymborski

12:45

As long as it's really pepper-forward!

Bellinger

12:45

HOW IS HE ONLY 27

Guest

12:45

second part: if I do in fact have chili, then before I enjoy a bowl add shredded cheddar, mexican crema, and avocadoes to the bowl, is it still chili?

Dan Szymborski

12:45

Weirdly accompanied chili!

Marmol Strategy

12:45

is that when you publicly chastise your players?

Chip

12:46

Is Franchy Cordero a Hall of Famer now?

Dan Szymborski

12:46

heh

I'm happy to see it though, he's always been someone people were curious about but he always seemed to be injured

Yeah Well Hiura Towel

12:46

In the actual Uno rules, you play to 500 points

Floyd

12:46

How would you rank these hitters for ROS:
Torkelson

Dan Szymborski

12:46

Torkelson

Mando

Chaim Bloom spent $216 million and all he got was last year's team again. Change my mind, sir.

Dan Szymborski

12:47

You're not wrong

Re: Monopoly

12:47

This sounds like Dungeon's and Dragons: Capitalism Edition. The only correct rule set

Patrix

My wife cuts half a banana off of the bunch every morning, and leaves the other half hanging there until the next day. Am I married to a psycho?

Dan Szymborski

12:47

Could be a sociopath

Appa Yip Yip

12:52

I think it is worth pointing out that Monopoly, like Risk, is a god awful game that should be consigned to the abyss and never spoken of again.

Tickspotters at Univeristy of Rhode Island (https://web.uri.edu/tickencounter/tickspotters/) might be able to give you advice — they respond quickly and are super helpful in my experience

Guest

Can the Rangers stay above .500 without Seager

Dan Szymborski

12:52

Probably not

A-Rod's Bunting Fever Dream

12:54

How bad does a player need to be for the MLBPA to not fight them being cut from a team? Is Marcell Ozuna at that level yet? Could Atlanta put out an 8-man lineup instead of continuing to trot him out there for an aggressive one handed swing lineout?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

They should always pursue things vigorously, as is their duty

I don't know what the grievance would be if Ozuna was released. He still gets paid

12:55

But no, you're not supposed to DEMOTE players for non-playing reasons

Kyle

12:55

Have you ever had a dream about ZiPS? If so, what was it?
