Think Mullins can be an every day guy?

Dan Szymborski

1:00

On the fence there really

re: collecting MLB stats--statcast has an API you can hook into and there are R and Python packages that make it relatively easy to do so

Josh

1:01

When will baseball savant have 2021 leaderboards up?

Dan Szymborski

1:01

Just bug Willman and Petriello, they'll know!

Guest

1:01

this is me, clamoring

Dan Szymborski

1:02

OK, people asking for this to be a thing

Have you enjoyed the segments on FanGraphs Audio that I do?

Oddball Herrera

1:02

How many fans do you need?? Haha is there concern that the computer will melt a hole to China?

Dan Szymborski

1:02

The more fans you run, the SLOWER you can run them!

Symborski stew sounds like a Russian gulag term for slop they feed to the prisoners.

Dan Szymborski

1:02

It would be Szymborski Sztew anyway

Guest

1:02

I do indeed look forward to your FG Audio segments, Dan

Billy Beane

1:03

Yes. You do interesting stuff and you're funny enough and also you could talk about not-baseball because you have a good twitter and appropriately unfocused baseball chat.

Dan Szymborski

1:03

I appreciate it! It's something to think about

Derek

1:03

Add me to chorus of clamorers! (yes your segments on FG Audio are great)

Why do MLB stadiums have "dog days" but no "cat days" seems like a missed opportunity.

Dan Szymborski

1:03

Cats are too troublesome

and I say that as a cat owner

1:04

If you had 10,000 cats in the park

You'd end up with a thousand loose cats, all in the bowels of the stadium and it would take months to get them all out

MilwaukeeBeerJays

1:05

You asking this chat if they like you in audio form is like asking a bolshevik if he would like some szmborski sztew whilst in a gulag...obviously YES!

Dan Szymborski

1:06

Hey, I let you guys make fun of me all the time!

beepboop

1:06

Dan, you ever play any of the Hearts of Iron series?

Dan Szymborski

1:06

I have!

Oddball Herrera

1:06

Admittedly I have been out of the souped up computer market for a while. Mine is still cooled by minions waving palm fronds

Billy Beane

1:06

Also it seems like you're frequently on the radio, though as someone who doesn't live near you it's possible you're only good on podcasts and terrible on the radio. It's like minor league exit velo. There's just no way of knowing.

Dan Szymborski

1:06

I do Canada Talks on Fridays at 6:15 PM ET, which is most my regular radio time

PC Builder

Work from home is great, because when I don't have any work to do, I can just screw around instead of pretending to work, but today I have a full 8 hours of work to do and it feels like back when I had a real job.

BringBackDeSpanielHair

1:07

The bad prisoners would get beans in their Szymborski Sztew

Hanson MMMBop Earwig

1:07

For the love of all that is pure and good Dan....Please make the Allstate / Pet Shop Boys commercial STOP... I beg of you....help us.

Dan Szymborski

1:07

If I had TV powers, do you think Two and a Half Men would have lasted anywhere near that long?

BringBackDeSpanielHair

1:07

Is it okay if we nickname you SzymBob?

Dan Szymborski

1:07

Only Murray gets to cal me that

Adam

1:08

Predictions on Dunedin? How much will it +/- the offense? And how long will the Jays call it home?

Dan Szymborski

1:08

I don't have the foggiest idea! lol

LFC Mike

1:08

Audio segment #1 Chili: Beans or no Beans..it would be an epic broadcast..

Dan Szymborski

1:08

You guys HAVE to be tired of chili arguments by this point

Appa Yip Yip

1:08

If Tanner Roark goes out on Sunday (against Trout, Ohtani, and Tendon no less) and gets lit the heck up again, how much more rope can the Jays afford to give him in a season where every win will count?

Dan Szymborski

1:09

Not much. I like the Jays this year. They don't have phenomenal depth in the rotation though, so they really need Roark to work out
