I've got a couple mowers in the garage that aren't working that someone could repair

I think one needs the carb cleaned, don't know about the other one

The Wizard of Ozzie

12:19

ZiPS 3 year projections still has Ozzie of Albies at 4+ WAR over the next 3 seasons, does Zips take into consideration the value of htting from both sides of the plate? Do you belive at some point he bails on hitting from both sides on focuses soley on hitting from the right or left side?

Dan Szymborski

12:19

The year-to-years aren't updated in-season

12:20

And there's no real ZiPS application

Hbp

12:20

Has Zips ROS not been updated with Giolitos recent string of success, or is it still placing substantial weight on previous seasons? This looks like a structural change that’s not being taken into consideration by any of the models (yet?)

Dan Szymborski

12:20

I'm more optimistic than ZiPS

the in-season model is simpler so that it can be run every day

What is with you people?

Dan if you were an afterschool special who would play “you”?

Dan Szymborski

12:21

With the loss of Philip Seymour Hoffman, there's nobody who can capture both my luck and gravitas.

I submit that the world has gone a little too bacon crazy. It does not need to be added to everything.

Dan Szymborski

12:21

Disagree

Mike

12:21

Hey Dan-- do I stay patient on the Yordan Alvarez stash, or swap him out for Kyle Tucker? Not sure who's coming up first.

Dan Szymborski

12:21

Be patient

Kris Bryant

12:21

I was so bored in St. Louis this weekend I was asleep at the plate. 2 for 13 with 7 strikeouts. BORRRRINGGGGG

Trixie

12:21

Wouldn't it make sense for the Padres to select a Bishop (Hunter) in the MLB Draft?

Dan Szymborski

12:21

He'd outrank them then

12:22

They alreayd tempted fate by taking 2 of 3 from the Cardinals

Khaki Segura

12:22

Nick Markakis is third amongst active players in PA and in the top 200 all-time. I don't know what to do with this unsettling information, so I give it to you.

Dan Szymborski

Markakey Bryan

Alby

12:23

I was getting ready to made a ham sandwich -- mustard on the bread ready -- when I found I was out of ham. So I cooked a hot dog and wrapped it in a piece of bread with mustard (I added relish, too; I'm not a barbarian). Sandwich?

Dan Szymborski

12:23

If you wrapped it it's a wrap. You have to have the perpendicular pressures applied to bread

Obvious

12:23

How could you

Dan Szymborski

12:23

I'm a bad, bad mand

man

I misspelled man.

Magic Kingdome

12:24

How bad are the Royals that Dozier, Mondesi, Merrifield, and Gordon are wildly exceeding their projections and they are still the second worst team in baseball?

Dan Szymborski

12:24

They've grandmastered lousiness.

Mike

12:24

Do you think we'll ever get temperature splits? We have splits by location, pitcher/batter hand, inning, leverage, etc, but we don't have anything that says "hey, this guy stinks when the gametime temp is 50 or below but he's pretty good when it's 80 or above" and it's not like they don't record the game time temp for everything anyways, so...we should have it I think.

Dan Szymborski

12:24

Dunno if we have the data. I know BR does

Gub Gub

12:24

Did you see the new heavyweight champion of the world? He's an inspiration to fans of a certain stature.

Dan Szymborski

12:24

LIKE ME

well, if I was way stronger
