Hey Dan - if you move to Canada you get to tell people your age in terms of the U.S. exchange rate. When my Aunt turned 60, she was like 'but it's only 45 U.S.'. British Columbia is very nice....welcome home.

WAIT DOES TIME WORK LIKE THAT AM I 4500 IN JAPAN

err the opposite

AM I A BABY IN JAPAN?

45th celebration

Skyline Chili cook off!

Better than a cook on

Do you think the M's will right the ship? The offense outside of JK has been so so bad! A brutal mix of disappointment and regression.

Dan Szymborski

12:53

I think they'll be OK

ZiPS is awesome and I wonder what it thinks.... As an Orioles fan, I STILL cannot get over the Glenn Davis trade. We know how it turned out (it would have been a steal for the Astros if it was just Pete Harnisch for Davis...but it was much much more), and we know it was bad at the time (Randy Milligan was already a better player), BUT.... what does ZiPS have to say? Would ZiPS have predicted such a horrendous trade outcome? (Also, on the other end, would ZiPS have predicted the Erik Bedard outcome?)

I might do this as a time warp at some point

I don't have it simply set up then I can just type them in

Trey

how do you think future HOF voters will handle borderline guys where 2020 would have been a potential peak season?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

Not sure. I don't think it'll be enough to do a big difference

Nate

So Gunnar is still going to be a thing...right? Feel like I keep waiting for the explosion give his OBP...but the struggle seems real

Dan Szymborski

12:59

Concerned, but not worried

No righty has ever hit one into the cove, even in batting practice. Buster Posey's home run vs. Walker Buehler in the 2021 NLDS may have actually gone in but it hit one of the brick water cannons.

Do you have any plans for more ZIPS Time Warp articles? A Vida Blue one might be interesting.

Dan Szymborski

12:59

Yeah, I definitely want to ramp up more of those this summer

Also, how long before this chat is just a ChatGPT trained version of you?

Dan Szymborski

1:00

That would be interesting. Train a model on my chats

and make all the responses AI

we're not there yet

but in the meantime, here's Caravaggio's painting of sad Mets.

What is a hobby that a player could have that would make you alter their projections in a negative way? Thank you Dan, very cool!

Dan Szymborski

1:04

Breaking into my house and formatting my hard drives

We know the teams you are most accused of hating. Which teams are you most accused of favoring?

Dan Szymborski

1:04

I'm well-known for being chaotic neutral so I don't live anything

Also on the nickname front, Vogelbach will always be "Engelberg" to me ;-)

"Dammit are you going to make me open zips?"

If I wasn't a baseball nerd I might think that someone asked you to go check on that noise outside of the tent in the middle of the night.

Where did you vacation? Was it fun?

Dan Szymborski

1:05

Not super exciting, I go more interesting places in winters

This was just a good trip to Baltimore and I didn't want to work on the road there

In the Fangraphs movie, when they give ZiPS a voice, which celebrity would you pick?

Dan Szymborski

1:06

Maurice LaMarche doing Orson Welles

AI Dan: Cinncinati chili isn't chili. Here are some hearthstone cards. I should probably get permission to use Zips.....

Chris

When will AI produce a mascot compilation for twitter to enjoy?

Dan Szymborski

1:06

I've actually done some of this
