Ozzie Albies is in a bit of a funk the last few weeks.  You think his strong start left expectations too high?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:57
A bit.  People get too excitec sometimes.  He's an awesome player, but he's not a 7 win dude

Does the "time off" or "plow through" approach work better as a slump buster for a batter?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:57
I think people are different enough that you have to have different approaches

I'm going to the Corner Stable across the street

I was just by there at the end of April
2:58
though I didn't eat there, I wanted to grab some pit beef from Andy Nelson's since I was at Home Depot

Did any single projection system think Severino would become This Good when he was a prospect?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:58
Not this good as a mean projection
Becuase the best players to come out are the ones that will EXCEED their projections.
Though ZiPS was a fan of Severino and I like to think I criticized people for trying to mofve him out of the rotation way too quickly and panicking way way way too quickly
2:59
But that's the thing about memory.  I might remember me being right but actually told people to sell on Severino.
I can't check my Twitter history here, I'm so far behind!

Dan, you should keep your decimals correct. newIP = IP + ((IP - (floor(IP)*10)/3). You're welcome.

We don't need rocket science levels of accuracy!
Nobody dies if we lose a decimal somewhere

Hello Dan. Game 7 of the playoffs. Bottom 9. Tie game. Winning run on 3rd. Two outs. Who would you rather have at the plate (as the home team): Max Scherzer or Chris Davis
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:01
I think Scherzer now lol
I think I'd prefer Kevin Costner dressed up as Crash Davis right now

Dan, is Freddie Freeman now the best hitter in the NL?
AvatarDan Szymborski

I t hink going forward, Harper will be a little better

An actual baseball question.   IMHO Carmargo is a stop gap measure for the Braves at 3rd base. Is it Austin Riley (after knee heals up) or is it a trade that fills the position? Riley seems a good fit longterm for ATL and why pay up when they are at least a year ahead of where they though they would be. 2019-2022 looks really good for them.

I think it's a wait and see.

How do you feel about the current Hearthstone meta? I find myself almost exclusively playing arena and dungeon runs/monster hunter and completely avoiding standard.
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:02
Standard is much improved since the nerfs.

Every class now has a competitive ladder deck.

How badly do cats shed?
AvatarDan Szymborski

Badly
Except for Reagan, who I *never* saw fur around from.  I'd brush her and nothing would come off.  I think she was a sentient robot cat

"And what does it say about us as a society if we're cool with Heimlich being a sanitation worker instead?  That we see certain jobs as a lower caste that he gets to be." This is an angle that wasn't mentioned much last week.
AvatarDan Szymborski

Mostly, I want to stay out of this stuff!  Especially on Twitter, in which there's a definite group pounce mentality no matter the view.

Why are the Pirates doing this with Nick Kingham? You could argue he's their #3 starter for crying out loud!
