I talk about it in the ZiPS Q&A let me find it

Though it's outdated in a lot of respects.

12:30

If you have something specific, feel free to hit me up on twitter. "The math" is a *very* loaded questions since ZiPS is ginormous.

At its core, think of it as an exercise in non-parametric modeling

Most underrated piece of classical music?

Dan Szymborski

12:30

Hummel A minor piano concerto?

It's as good as the Schumann or Grieg

12:31

And there's a lot of Gottschalk that are fun as hell

12:32

Medtner's piano concertos fit here too

If the White Sox trade Alex Colome can they get a top 100 player and another lower level player ?

Dan Szymborski

12:32

That's a bit rich I think

Along the same lines as the Vazquez discussion, which position player really should be traded this year, but likely will not?

Dan Szymborski

12:32

Belt

Ryan

12:32

Tatis Jr. already has 2.7 fwar in 200 plate appearances. How good is this kid gonna be. Is he already a superstar?

Dan Szymborski

12:32

Very. Yes.

DJ LeMahieu

12:32

This won't last BUT. Considering the injuries, maybe the Yankees were due some random thing that was positive this season.

Billy Beane

12:32

Dan, I think divisions are pretty dumb. I think that MLB should just have league seeds 1-5 and 4 and 5 have to play the Wild Card game.

How come Justin Mason is scheduled to have a chat at the same time as you are? How come he never does?

Dan Szymborski

12:33

The T stands for Tuesday

M is for Monday

12:35

He hasn't chatted for awhile though

Not sure, the fantasy side is separate, you'd have to ask them

Seconding the Punch Slug Bug proposal.

New Guy

Holy shit....emojis!

Dan Szymborski

12:36

I always allow them!

Plus, you can hit the peanut gallery icon for more mild troublemaking

what team do you think these next 4 weeks will determine the future of their franchise the most? Nationals?

Dan Szymborski

12:36

Nats. That's what I said!

Morbo

There are dumbasses in Kentucky that also pronounce Versailles "ver-SALES."

Dan Szymborski

12:36

We can expand the clause for all dumbasses.

Al Gone Quinn

12:36

Speaking of weird pronunciations, the people who live in Des Moines, Washington, pronounce it "Deh Moinz"

Dan Szymborski

12:37

DAMMIT

I DID NOT NEED TO KNOW THAT

DAN RAGE

ARRGGGH

Gabe

12:37

Why do the Rays play Choi over N Lowe? Isn’t N Lowe better now?

Dan Szymborski

12:37

I think the thing is that they want to be SURE he's better because they don't want him up as a spart timer
