We seem to be having technical issues

Nobody can log in and ask questions.

And I tried it myself!

12:00

Unless there's a fix, we may need to 86 the chat this week. Unless people want to hang around as I share my idle musings about whatever stupid thing I'm thinking about currently.

12:01

(And no, people should not want to hang around for that)

12:02

If you're reading this, hit refresh and it shoudl work now!

Is this thing on

Dan Szymborski

12:03

OK, I have an empty queue because of the technical difficulties, so this is your opportunity to ask me WHATEVER about ANYTHING. Even if I don't know the answer!

John

12:03

Looks like it is fixed after refreshing the page!

Spencer Jones 111 wrc+ from zips? Thoughts ?

Dan Szymborski

12:04

I don't think it's CRAZY as a projection. There's upside, but there's real downside because he misses a frigging LOT

12:05

If you don't connect a ton, you have to REALLY connect when you do, like Murakami. And Jones CAN, but tehre's risk

Envy Angel

12:05

Hey, Dan. If I were foolish enough to want to create my own projections, and if I wanted to individualize for each stat, would I adjust each stat’s reliability factor, adjust the weights for each year of stats, or do both?

Dan Szymborski

12:05

There are a lot of ways to skin a cat. Honestly, playing around with Marcel first might give you ideas on things to test

12:06

Wait, ARE THERE a lot of ways to skin a cat? It seems like it would be straightforward

crossedup

On the prospect side of the house; any prospects who've made significant projection gains this so far this year?

Dan Szymborski

12:06

I can tell you in a minute, but it will be a couple weeks out of data since that was my first MEGA RUN

Does Lombard play a role for NYY this summer ?

Dan Szymborski

12:15

I think he'll appear, but I don't think it'll be long unless there's an opportunity to start.

12:16

Injuries help of course, as would Jones splatting

becuase then MAYBE you go with some combination of a Grisham Bellinger Lombard OF

I don't understand the talk about Tatis, Jr's. homer outage, he's only one home run back from Guerrero Jr.

Senior Caminero

12:17

What do the Jays do with Max Scherzer? The production has been awful, but I feel like the situation is complicated by the fact that he’s a slam-dunk HOFer who demands a bit of respect. Do they release him? Bullpen?

Dan Szymborski

12:17

I think you have to talk with him and discuss that something is going to have to happen, and the best way for it to happen that doesn't cause any embarrassment

But he HAS to be out of the rotation if you're serious about competing, I think

12:18

yes, only six starts, but he's been bad and REALLY contact-able in those starts

The Mets recently featured a Skyline Chili Egg Roll when the Reds rolled into town. Personally, I think a deep fried shell is too heavy of a medium for Skyline chili. I would suggest serving it as-is in a ziplock bag with a spork.

If you wear cargo shorts you can bring your whole family's meals back to your seats *in your pockets* without the delicate balancing act of open top hot dogs, chicken tenders, fries, etc. Plus, if you have leftovers, it's already in a resealable container.

Dan Szymborski

Anything that causes you to eat it is too heavy a medium for skyline chili!

Please don't skin cats

Dan Szymborski

12:20

I won't, cats fight back!

Tim Tebow's Thunder Thighs

The Matt Damon guy from Ben's chats has been missing lately. Don't you worry, Dan, I'm not going anywhere, even when Tim Tebow's thunder thighs inevitably turn to mush.
