Think they'll still have to move stanton

Chandler

2:37

Stop publishing questions from Da Bum he's clearly got one extra chromosome

Al Mal

2:37

Alonso has been awful for a while, what gives?

Dan Szymborski

2:37

Guys have bad months, even afte rthey break out. It's not something I'm terribly worreid about yet. He was never really going to be a 160 OPS+ guy consistently

The Dude

2:37

What reasons are out there to bring up Acuna to the pros right now? He's not on the 40 and could be a business argument to keep him down for control.

Dan Szymborski

2:38

Atlanta's attempts to spin the fanbase into the idea they're closer to competing than they are

El Fuego

2:39

Worst first MLB pitch experience in history - Thyago Vieira?

Carly Rae Jepsen.

ECinDC

Outside of Kershaw, who is most likely to make the HOF as a pitcher right now?

Babe Lincoln

2:40

Can we place ban use of the article "an" before historic by all non-Brits? Where we actually pronounce our h's," it's "a historic." People getting it wrong are failing at pretending to be fancy. Help me, Szym. You're our only hope.

Dan Szymborski

2:41

My h in historic is very weak

Oops, didn't answer last question

Verlander or Greinke

ECinDC

2:41

Does Zips have a HOF projector? If not, that would be a cool feature and I would like to read things based on it.

Dan Szymborski

2:41

Not in ZiPS, but I do have one.

ECinDC

2:41

What would it take for you to sell Zips to a team?

Dan Szymborski

2:41

More than it would be worth to the buyer.

Corky McCork

2:41

Good point, there is no clear evidence that Sosa was willing to cheat

Dan Szymborski

2:42

So, shall we assume every corked bat user after 1960 was a steroid user?

Nelson Cruz

2:42

Can I be like David Ortiz and keep going for another couple of years?

Dan Szymborski

2:42

Sure

My name is Judge...

2:42

does the prospect of 3/4 teams tied for the second wild card spot in the al excite you?

Dan Szymborski

2:42

Yeah, but better that we get like 7 or anything. Let the chaos reign.

Ol' Sea Capn

2:42

You still playing Overwatch? What's your opinion on some of the recent updates, changes and maps?

Dan Szymborski

2:42

Yup, though I've been very busy the last few weeks with the trade deadline and sister's wedding

2:43

Rhys Hoskins is running a .071 BABIP and 4.4% SwStr so far. Don't you love small sample sizes?

Dan Szymborski

2:43

They the beast

RotoLando

2:43

Did you ever watch The Vacant Lot? They did the "ripped up like a douche" sketch, and the five-dollar eclipse glasses sketches.

Dan Szymborski

2:43

I have not.

ECinDC

2:43

How much do you weigh innings pitched v. dominance per inning when voting in the CY?

Dan Szymborski

2:43

I don't plan on going in with set X vs. Y formulae

976

2:45

What stops Jordan Luplow from fooling ZiPS into thinking he's one of the best prospects in baseball when most scouts project 4th OF type? His wRC+ at all levels is impressive.

Dan Szymborski

2:45

He's gotten a pretty good boost this year.

Though it hasn't gone crayz

Mike

2:46

Has didi reached the point where you have him as a top 5 ss with his very good defense and mix of solid power and hit tool? if not where would you rank him?

Dan Szymborski

2:46

He's probably somewhere around 5th-8th or so. It's a brutal fight.

Sterling Mallory Chris Archer

2:46

Hey look, Dan's alive. We can now cancel the search party we planned on planning of.

Dan Szymborski

2:46

Guys, I've still bee on twitter

Daniel
