Hi Dan, anyway I can get the Zips projected standings through the years of 2008-2018. Just need the projected wins. Haven't had any luck searching for it.

Do you think the Dansby Swanson breakout is real?

Dan Szymborski

1:15

Likely yes

Who is the best player comp for each of your cats? Do any of them get to be Trout?

Dan Szymborski

1:15

No, it woudl be unreaslistic to call any of my cats as comparable to Trout

I'd call Galileo Adrian Beltre

1:16

I'm not sure how this even works

Why do I think you have thought before on tagging with the ball in one's mouth?

Dan Szymborski

1:16

If it's ridiculous, I've thought of it

Kiermaier's Hallitosis

1:16

If a Burrito was baked in a cake would it still be a burrito or a newfangled dessert?

Dan Szymborski

1:16

it woudl be a burrito, the structure as a whole would be a cake that has a burrito

Is there any way to look at the depth charts from the past? I’m really interested in how teams over/under perform expectations and how injuries/trade affect playing time.

Dan Szymborski

1:16

I don't think we're set up for that.

Chuncey Wiggins

So the hidden ball trick, would require the player concealing the baseball inside their mouth to spit it into his glove/hand and then apply the slobber-ball to the baserunner. Seems unhygenic. If the players union is wise, they'll protect players from this.

Any chance, there will be Fringe Five articles in 2019? I enjoyed them a lot in past years.

Dan Szymborski

1:17

I'll ask if someone was going to do them.

If you were a juggler, what is the last thing you would practice with before attempting chainsaws? AND DON'T SAY FAKE CHAINSAWS!

Dan Szymborski

electric turkey carving knives

Cpins

Which error bar is larger - human umps or humans that draw the top/bottom lines of the robs-ump box to account for differing player heights/stances?

Dan Szymborski

1:19

I would assume the former because of time

Tommy Kahnle

1:19

Hey, I'm good again!

Matt

1:20

Did you know that El Meson is Spanish for "The Meson"?

Dan Szymborski

1:20

I believe that its' a restaurant-specific term

and there's an accent

Greg

1:21

Josh Donaldson gonna get a Qualifying Offer after the season?

Dan Szymborski

1:21

He ought to if he's stilll playing like he is

Gub Gub

Would you like to be referred to as The Breaker of Churros?

Dan Szymborski

1:22

I'm too far east to be in prime churro territory

how about The Breaker of Markov Chains

LFC Mike

1:22

Mercutio better at laundry than the other cats?...How is he at folding a pleated sheet?..i hate those....

Dan Szymborski

1:22

Mercutio has no real skills.

He's a very friendly cat.

But he's kinda dumb and kinda incompetent at being a cat.

He's still not quite sure where dinner is typically served and he's 10.

1:23

The kitchen/dining room/living room is a circle and he still has't quite figured it out

Cassiopeia surprises him every time by circling around and sneaking up on him

When I closed the kitchen/dining room door so I could put in some wood screws

he started meowing to get into the kitchen
