Is Ohtani the MVP so far?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

I'd give him my vote as of right now

Just ahead of Vlad

Though I'm in Cincinnati BBWAA chapter, so it's far more likely that I vote on NL awards than filling in for an AL one

Do you think Keston Hiura will rediscover his form? I think we will -- I feel it in my bones.

Dan Szymborski

12:59

I think there's a chance

But I won't say more - Eric and I actually talked about this for the upcoming FanGraphs Audio

Hi Dan, attempting to get more high school students into data analytics. Any advice you can give?

Dan Szymborski

1:00

Connect with their interests

Like some of the kids no doubt play esports

1:01

Talk to them about how data is mined for DPS data for different weapons or picks in MOBAs

Pub style, is also Chicago...know your pizzas

Dan Szymborski

1:01

Oh wait, I thought pub style was the thing pizza cut in squares, like less crappy little caesar's

I do not

You forgot New Haven Style pizza though to be fair I've never heard of St Louis style and it's pretty similar to pub style.

Dan Szymborski

1:01

I haven't had it

St. Louis uses Provel, which I hate

I think wasting lamb in chili is a crime

In the past I've manually tweaked projections to what I consider higher percentiles for draft boards. In my shallow league I need to hit on stars and breakouts. Is Zips going to go public with percentile projections at any point?

Todd

Has anyone at FanGraphs told you to do real baseball chats instead of just fat jokes

I do fat jokes?

Dan

1:03

If trying to decide what a breakout season would look like for a young player how far off would I be if I just took their 90% percentile projections?

Dan Szymborski

1:04

Sure, but take into consideration that there's only a 10% chance of it if the projection is calibrated!

But mean projections are bad places to find breakouts unless the odds of breaking out are extreme

What you thought was pub style is Detroit style!

Dan Szymborski

1:04

But Detroit style is thicker, no!

1:05

err no?

I'm a little worried I'm a pizza ingenu.

I just want nice floppy NY-styles

Whats been the biggest change from your mid 30’s to your mid 40’s? I need advice for ten years from now.

Dan Szymborski

I've got two herniated discs and pain sometimes shoots all the way down my left leg
