I'm with Owen Watson's old piece from like a decade ago

circle changes are largely the modern screwball grip

David Wiers

Things have gotten less weird around here due to me being too busy. I'll try harder to bring the weird.

I am the Apple

Dan Szymborski on a 10/10M deal to the Colorado Rockies. Who says no?

Dan Szymborski

1:09

Wait, do I have to go to an office every day and put on pants?

$10 million is a good chunk of change though

But Rockies aren't offering me that! lol

Could you point to a player who reached their 99.9th percentile ZIPs projection or has that not happened yet?

Dan Szymborski

1:09

I don't actually keep 0.999 percentile projections

I will second Guest's browser complaints. FG on Edge (which I use because it plays nicest with outlook) routinely crashes the browser.

Dan Szymborski

1:10

hmm

Guest

Chrome on laptop, safari on mobile. I’ll try changing it up on the laptop. Thanks!

Dan Szymborski

1:10

At least just to pinpoint the problem

Mudders

What are your thoughts on fruit based salsa like pineapple or mango?

Dan Szymborski

1:10

I like it unless it gets too fruit forward and the fruit becomes the primary

re: magic hotdog... is it safe to assume that the magic powers of the dog keep the player's talent level scaled as it was during their previous time? Cause 13 WAR 2024 Babe Ruth would be incredible, regular 13 WAR 1920 Babe Ruth would be sad

Dan Szymborski

1:11

Yeah, I don't want to bring back Babe Ruth back to the Yankees

but end up just created a Hall of Fame zombie apocalypse

KC Pain

1:11

Do you prefer the faster velo knuckball or the classic so slow you can see the batter twitching three times and still being early on it?

Dan Szymborski

1:12

I like the classic one where the hitter has to wonder if it's going to stop and turn around and go back to the pitcher

the person who asks the lunch question

1:12

what's for lunch?

Dan Szymborski

1:12

I had a late breakfast of some fried spam and a couple eggs over easy

1:13

on that note, it's time for me to head out for another week

thanks for coming everyone!

and I'll see you next time

unless I die or something, which I will at some point, though preferably not in the next week
