What’s the deal with Shane Bieber ? He seems like a different pitcher. Walks are up and barrel % is very high

Dan Szymborski

12:55

ZiPS actually thinks he's "earned" his walks so far. His first strike percentage has dropped way off

12:58

Sorry, door

I think in the end, the answer will be that long-term, 2019's the more realistic level for Bieber

12:59

The walk rate increase has been msotly against lefties

He's kinda trusting his changeup a lot less this year

and I wonder if there's some interaction here

Is there a player who has fallen off a cliff at any point and you never had much of an idea why?

Dan Szymborski

hopefully not Lindor!

(unless the age rumor turns out true, but I only know what I can prove)

What player from the past (or players) do you think would most benefit from the analytics and such of now?

Dan Szymborski

1:02

I kinda wonder about Ted Williams

he certainly thought a lot about it as a science

but you can also argue that he also possibly instinctively grasped all the things we see with data?

Point Break, on the other hand, is the perfect action film

I WANT TO KILL THAT MAN FOR NOT KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HEIST FILM AND AN ACTION BROMANCE!

Chili oil is easy you mash up a bunch of spicy chilis in your mouth, pour oil down your gullet, swish it around, then spit it into a jar. 👍
