How often do you get to Chicago? Enjoy the Giordano pizza...but the Malnati deep dish butter crust is fantastic.

Dan Szymborski

12:56

Once in a while.

For those who are unaware, we just got a Giordano's in Ohio

So I was excited to try Giordano's when I didn't have to drive five hours

So helpfully, everyone on Twitter game me Chicago places I should go to instead

When the key fact of note is that Giordano's is 15 minutes away

Since the tomato is fruit and not vegetable, wouldn't that make Ketchup a smoothie?

Dan Szymborski

12:58

Ketchup isn't edible

Jeff Mcneil said he doesn't do any preparation on pitchers and doesn't take in to account any analytics. I cant help but dream how good he would be if he only would.

Different people manage things differently

Sometime in the late 80s/early 90s I was at a Blue Jays game that was delayed due to moths (or some kind of icky flying bug) -- they turned on the AC full blast for about 20 minutes to blow them out of the stadium and then closed the roof

I noticed over the past few seasons the mets under performed there preseason wins projections. Can it be a contributing factor that the projections assume the team uses analytics to optimize their talent and the mets do not so they consistently under perform?

Dan Szymborski

12:58

Have htey really?

Let me see

1:01

Mets have underperformed, but it's .507 vs. .498 over last five years

.491 vs. .486 over last ten

That's not enough to conclude something meaningful in the apttern

Perhaps ex Brave pitcher Steve Apiary could help in the Reds game

Does Ausmas get a pass this year because the Angels really aren't trying to win until next year, once their youngsters begin making an impact?

Dan Szymborski

I'm not sure you give a manager a pass for this.

It's not like managers are born with a bucket of awesome decision-making and they have to portion it out safely

I remember watching in horror as my mom turned the wrong way down a one way street. And her totalling her mazda 3 by running into a neighbor's fall cleanup pile.

It's not like I said "No, it's cool, you're just saving your good driving just in case I buy you a sports car."

The Mariners are still second in all of baseball in wRC+. Surprised at all?

Dan Szymborski

1:04

Yeah, I just don't expect that to persist

On that note, time for my to hit the ol' dusty trail!

Thanks for coming everyone, hope to see y'all next week!
