FIP

12:49

What would a player's FIP be who just threw crappy strikes? I.E. no walks, no strikeouts, and lets say a league average HR/FB

Dan Szymborski

12:50

A player with 200 IP, 0 strikeouts, 0 walks, and 25 HR would have a FIP of 4.86

Fan of graphs

12:50

Any thoughts on the hot starts from Nate Lowe, Yermin Mercedes, and Tyler Naquin? I'm last in my fantasy league right now and need advice

Dan Szymborski

12:50

Doing a piece on that!

When will you put out a podcast?

Dan Szymborski

12:50

I participate in FanGraphs Audio regularly!

12:51

As to making my own specific one, I'm not sure if there's demand for one. I've never gotten the impression that people were clamoring for one from me.

I see comments on different articles on the site but i dont see how or where to comment. Is that because i am not a member?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

No, comments should be open for everyone

Unless something's gone weird, which could happen

But you do need to register for an account to post

but it doesn't have to be a *paid* account

Could you use zips to predict how many incorrect calls angel Hernandez will make in any given start?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

Most of 'em.

Will ZIPS ever incorporate statcast?

Dan Szymborski

12:52

ZiPS has for years!

on the topic of computers, i recently upgraded from a 4770HQ and 860M to a 5800X and 3070 - its insane how much better PC components have gotten since 2013

Dan Szymborski

12:52

Good job on grabbing the 3070!

I was very fortunate to get both a 3080 and 5900X both at MSRP

Took a lot of having one of my laptops hanging around in Falcodrin's twitch stream

12:53

I sold my used 2080 Super for $600 to a reader. I could have possibly eked out more given the prices, but I felt getting more than what I paid for it in this context wasn't what I wanted to do

12:54

(I sell investments for more than I pay for it without any qualms, but this was a hobbyist thing, not something I owned as an investmnet)

Dan tell me something good about the A’s please. Please

Dan Szymborski

12:54

The team's coloras are badass

12:56

And I do have an A's keycap! Which is something, I guess

12:57

My keyboard is very obnoxious.

>Good job on grabbing the 3070!

Had to go prebuilt to get it, but 100% worth it - crazy how high secondary market prices have gotten

Not Sandy Alderson

12:57

If Chili Davis was to say that chili can have beans, would his 350 home runs and moniker be enough to sway you?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

Just because he's nicknamed Chili doesn't give him chili

expertise

12:58

Just becuase I'm Dan doesn't mean I get to tell people how to make dan dan noodles.

I got crazy lucky and got a 5900x and a 3090 (the 3090 was, believe it or not, new and below MSRP because of Sean T Custom PC) thanks for putting me on to Falcodrin or I'd be stuck with my i5 and Geforce 745 for years.

Dan Szymborski

12:59

The semiconductor shortage combined with the latest crypto boom have made PC stuff really frigging annoying

zurzles

12:59

i consider you an authority on szymborski stew

Dan Szymborski

12:59

THATS NOT A THING
