It wouldn't surprise me if there's a rule banning meat from portraying a vegetable.

Dan Szymborski

12:49

Then we should ban fraud meats!

Loved the Eric Davis article, but felt ZIPs was a little hard on him.

Please tell us next week what your sandwich was.

BTW, if you have really insane questions, this is the time for them.

I'm usually at like 400-800 readers in chats. Right now? 80.

I’m all for banning fraud meats!

Green meat usually isn't a good sign.

I would love to see an MLB franchise owned by a group like the Green Bay Packers

Dan Szymborski

12:51

It's not quite the same, but the Indians were traded for awhile

Let's finish up with some of the fun neural network baseball things recently.

Bad News Bears plots, as generated by the neural net.

Have you been following Craig's crowdsourced predictions for an MLB season? I don't understand why the crowd is becoming more pessimistic?

Dan Szymborski

12:53

People getting antsy

Being a statistician person, explain your view of Pascal’s wager

Dan Szymborski

12:54

Pascal's problem is that he's missing a very significant outcome.

He's making an assumption that believing in god, if there is a god, *actually* makes it more likely to go to heaven.

12:55

What if there's a god who *wants* people to be skeptical and not beholden?

12:56

I personally don't like brown-nosers.

Jason

I understand people who think one positive test will bring it down. But, they would still start playing games and then make a decision if someone tested positive. People changing their votes from *some amount of games* to *0 games* makes no sense to me.

And you know, those cans of chipotle peppers in adobo are amazing

Space jam but as a baseball movie

if there were a baseball team like the packers then they would still be better run than the marlins

Jeef Berky

Damn you’re down like 90% viewership

How many editions of "Who's Who In Baseball" do you own? Which years? My favorite bathroom reader, I currently have the 2000 version in there.

Dan Szymborski

12:57

I don't actually own any!

Jeff

Standing or fighting: which is MORE key to stopping the bad guy?

Dan Szymborski

12:58

Depends on the bad guy's exact bad guyness

Completion
The novel coronavirus caused the 2020 baseball season to be postponed to late August as officials began to learn the extent of the disease. After a test of samples taken at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found traces of coronavirus, the league voted 3-2 to move the games, then postponed the series. It later completed a full decontamination of team hotel rooms.

There was also an incident in June 2014 involving a Chicago White Sox game that lasted 12 minutes and reeked of vomit and feces. Several teams altered their seating arrangements before the full teams began playing, while officials took precautions to limit infected players to the outfield.

"You don't see meat manufacturers trying to make meat that looks like broccoli" Because absolutely no one is asking for that :)
