I bet it's cringeworthy though!

12:18

I hope that the bombshell is that the new name is the Washington Redskin Potatoes. Not that I want them to keep the name, but I'm in favor of whatever amuses me the most.

Would you be willing to preview who is coming up in the ZiPS Time Warp Series? What criteria do you think through in determining who to research for those?

Dan Szymborski

12:21

There's no specific criteria. It's just someone who I think is interesting and I try to move around teams and eras

Zips is low on Mazara,his statcast numbers look decent and The Bat X suggest a possible bigger year. With WS weaker schedule Det,KC,Pit a total of 28 times what % do you personally give him to break out?

Dan Szymborski

12:22

I had Mazara on my breakout articles for like four years straight stubbornly.

So I'm out of the whole Mazara Breakout game.

Over/under 0.5 trades before opening day? And will Carson Fulmer for Dee Gordon be the trade?

Dan Szymborski

12:26

'Over. I can see *a* trade.

Dan's mom

12:26

Danny, sort of a good news/ bad news situation- I came in second in the demolition derby with your car this weekend!

Dan Szymborski

12:26

I know that mom's only leaving the house to walk over to my house and annoy the hell out of me

LFC Mike

Guest

Are you planning to buy the new PS or Xbox next year? or both?

Dan Szymborski

12:26

Likely PS4

12:27

Sony seems to have, most generations, more games I want that don't get to the PC

Because I will *always* get the PC version of something first.

And games I really like that come to console first, I will frequently still end up buying the PC version.

12:28

Like I have Grand Theft Auto V for PS3 *and* PC

And I got Trails of Cold Steel III for PS4 last fall and then the PC version when it came out in early 2020.

12:29

Will be the same for Trails of Cold Steel IV as I've already beaten the PS4 version. Which is in Japanese. Which I do not speak.

I'll certainly get the PC port/translation when it comes out in ~6 months.

12:30

Favorite console RPG series of mine today, incidentally (the Trails series). I thought something at the end of Cold Steel III was sadder (personally) than a certain death in the middle of Final Fantasy VII

Marillion

Dilly! Dilly ! Lets get started with the last non baseball chat....with ample food critique for flavoring.

Guest

12:31

Would you consider Carson Kelly a top-5 C in OBP leagues?

Dan Szymborski

12:31

No. Kelly ought to be top-5 C *in OBP* or near there, but he'll be too far down in other categories.

Unless you're in a weird OBP ONLY league.

JayC

12:32

Does Vidal Brujan see any MLB action?

Dan Szymborski

12:32

Doubt it

Seasonal depres

12:32

What team are you the most comfortable with for predicting an eventual W-L record (in terms of variance/certainty) with the shortened season? Which are you the least comfortable with? Why?

Dan Szymborski

12:32

most comfortable: Dodgers. It's a deep team.
