Mr Dan! All hail o wise one!! Forget a multi year streak of course but will we ever see someone play an entire 162 games in a season again?

Dan Szymborski

12:58

Of course!

12:59

Like four or five guys did it in 2019

so it's not like it can't happen again

Several guys this year have played in all the games

How is park factor calculated for the Blue Jays considering they have had a spring training facility and now an, upgraded, AAA ballpark as their home? Does it get even weirder if they can eventually play at the Skydome?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

I'm not sure what we're doing for that

Why can't we get toothpaste in large, shampoo-like drums?

HOW DO YOU ROLL UP A DRUM

Dan - what is going on with the yankees offense? They were supposed to have one of the best offenses?

What about Yanks trading for Joc Pederson and Kris Bryant to fill in all the holes they have in their OF?

Dan Szymborski

1:00

Cubs aren't trading guys as long as the team is where they are

Underrated aspect of Vlad at 1st is the degree to which he will chat up literally everyone.

Re: Nats

Certainly there are tomatoes in chili, yes?

Dan Szymborski

1:01

no

Beef. Chili peppers. Seasoning. Spoon of masa harina. Water.

THAT IS ALL

WELL A BOWL TO EAT IT IN

I really love the useless parts of this chat. Viva la Beisbol

Fangraphs discord sounds like something I'd pay for.

clicking a writer's link while they're chatting takes you to the chat rather than their archive?

Dan Szymborski

1:02

I had no idea

Appa Yip Yip

1:02

This chat is useless! Will Sasso doesn't know anything about baseball!

dixie doo doo head

Dan Szymborski

1:03

they don't make much sense. but even if you like them, you get way too many of them so that you don't like them

Luis Castillo's Changeup

and a spoon to eat with

Dan Szymborski

1:03

OK, spoon too

I don't want you to think I'm making you guys eat the chili by scooping handfuls out of the pot with your hand

Rod

Ever get sick of ppl talking about “real jobs?” As if you have to miserable doing what you’re doing for it to be “real”

Dan Szymborski

1:03

Sometimes.

I don't let it bother me, because while what I do is work -- I spend a lot of time working believe it or not -- it's also a great job

1:04

And I know that I'm fortunate to have this job. While everyone likes to think when they're happy that they got there purely on skill, chance plays a lot into it.

I happened to be in the right place at the right time for the thing I want to do.

cool

If I'm born 1958 instead of 1978, the job doesn't exist. If I'm born in 1998 instead of 1978, I have a harder time standing out and have to compete with people with better programming bonafides

Appa Yip Yip

If I had a single, massive bean like the size of a bread bowl but it was one big bean and I carved it into a bowl and put chili into it would it still be chili.

Dan Szymborski

1:05

As long as you don't eat the bowl

Knew a guy that said a "real job" required wearing a tie to work. He's doing a stint for embezzlement.

Dan Szymborski

The only time I wore a tie (NEVER to ESPN even) was when I worked at Stebbins-Anderson in Towson when I was in high school

That was a fun job because I didn't do a lick of work whatsoever.
