SO that his mouth becomes a de facto glove, theN I think MLB *should* accept it

Matt

12:46

Yo, Dan, I'm gonna run and grab lunch. Pause the chat for 10-15 minutes. You can make it up on the back end. Thanks

Dan Szymborski

12:46

YOU KNOW WHEN THE CHAT IS

LFC Mike

12:46

When does Cleveland recognize they need to be a seller? The current outfield is horrible and by the time Clevinger and Kluber are back and healthy it could be too many games to make up.

Dan Szymborski

12:46

I don't think they need to be a seller yet

12:47

I'm disappointed in how they operated this winter, but the season isn't a lost cause

It's still 31% in FG to win the division and FG/ZiPS have been close on the AL Central this year

upstarts

12:47

Dan- At what point do the ROS and beyond projections for guys like Reyes, Dozier, and Yandy Diaz really start to move? Would love a bit of insight into how your system works in regards to new data working its way in. Thanks!

Dan Szymborski

12:47

The ROS moves pretty quickly! Beyond isn't updated in-season due to technological limitations, for which I'm working on a workaround.

12:48

I'm working on a simpler version of ZiPS, but not as simple as in-season, that FanGraphs can run automatically

12:48

Andrelton Simmons has not struck out in his last 60 PA - is he the next Willans Astudillo?

Dan Szymborski

12:48

Simmons is his own thing. Astudillo IS a special snowflake and don't steal the magic.

Mark

12:48

How impressive is the Yankees record considering the injuries?

Dan Szymborski

12:48

Quite. The Yankees impressively overengineered their roster and when...stuff...hit the fan, they were better prepared than most teams.

12:49

GREETINGS, CLEVALND

Appa Yip Yip

12:49

Something appears to be wrong with the FanGraphs WAR calculations Vlad is in the negatives plz fix thx

Dan Szymborski

12:49

Think of it as a rubber band. Gotta pull it back a little before you launch!

John

12:50

Favorite deck to play in the current meta? Any cards that you want to see nerfed?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

I don't think the meta stinks, it's just not my favorite type of meta. Waggle Pick should probably be five mana

12:52

I think Shadowstep can be abused better than Whirlwind and Death's Bite was essentially the same but with Whirlwind instead.

The Ghost of Wade Boggs

12:52

Did you talk to your mother yesterday? How is she doing?

Dan Szymborski

12:52

12:53

At what point do the Angels release Cozart?

Dan Szymborski

12:53

I don't think they need to.

Though he shoudl be losing some playing time

Jeff mcnugs

12:53

What the **** is going on with Brandon nimmo ??

Dan Szymborski

12:53

I think he'll be OK. I do think he's likely to have a down year and not a quick bounceback

12:54

WHen I was looking at him the other day I thought "hey, his BABIP must be crazy low" and was distressed that it wasn't

Marc

12:54

At what point in the season does Urshela's performance warrant an article? I'm assuming he hasn't got one yet because of the still-relatively small sample size, but at some point a guy literally doubling his career wrc+ is noteworthy

Dan Szymborski

12:54

Articles depend on what suits a writer's fancy!

greg

12:54

Cat update, please.

Dan Szymborski

12:54

Galileo is upstairs and I'm mad at because he opened the fridge and got into the last of my gorgonzola

12:55

Mercutio was meowing to get into the laundry room and I chased him off because he's not allowed in there

because he crawls into the ceiling and he's too dumb to get himself out, so I have to climb on top of the washing machine and sweep him out with a broom

Cassiopeia was upstairs sleeping in the living room. I have the hedgehog in my pocket so that she can't bother me with it while I'm trying to chat

James

12:55

George Springer for MVP? And with his age when he hits free agency next year, would he be a candidate to take an extension and not risk the market?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

I don't think the Astros have leverage at this point

He's obviously not getting a Harper/Machado contract, but I think he'll still do fine

If not as lavishly as players like him would get treated in the past
