and go back and forth between those halves with ZERO explanation

My idea, while Dustin Diamond was alive, would be to make him Morris's fixer, with *no* zaniness, no winking at the camera. Just a really deranged, sociopathic individual

So like you'd have an episode where Zack has Screech murder a Senatorial candidate in the way of Zack's preferred choice in the primaries. Meanwhile, Slater's holding a hula hoop contest at the Max.

How many of those 29 games under preseason projections for SD have been accumulated since I took over starting 2015?

20

I was listening to a sports station in a random city (Denver?) while traveling for work years ago, and they were aggressively promoting their upcoming segment with you by saying stuff like there were going to be fireworks when they put this "stat head" in his place. Then you came on and were totally reasonable in explaining something like why OBP is better than batting average and instantly won them over.

Dan Szymborski

1:01

Hey, I'm actually good at this kind of stuff! I've *never* had an appearance end up being a hostile, unpleasant experience.

1:02

And I'll go on anything.

brad penny for your thoughts

Maybe magnitude of WPA shifts in games?

Dont' think I can predict that, though I've never tried

Dayton Moore Talking Head

1:02

Do you recast Screech, or just imply that Zack secretly killed him?

Dan Szymborski

1:02

That's a good question.

I think I'd have Screech's death be that unanswered question behind the scenes.

Dayton Moore Talking Head

1:03

Ah, based on the tonal inconsistencies of your Saved by the Bell remake, I see you watch the 1990s CBS show "Picket Fences"

Dan Szymborski

1:03

That WAS a fun show!

Laffy Jaffe Taffy

1:03

You’ll go on anything? Someone call the 700 club!

Dan Szymborski

1:03

I'd be game!

1:04

Is that still a thing?

Dayton Moore Talking Head

In season 4, does Zack lose the election, but him and the gang still inexplicably hang around the governor's mansion?

Dan Szymborski

1:04

I like to think that there WOULD BE no election.

Nick

1:04

Buehler, India, Tatis, Lynn, Ohtani, Garcia--are these the end-of-season award winners?

Dan Szymborski

1:05

I think it's rather up in the air

I'm an NL ROY voter this year

and I'm still unusure who I'd vote if the season ended today

1:06

India's been terrific

but so has Trevor Rogers

1:07

And I'd vote for Luis Garcia in the AL right now, I think

unless that' the garcia you referred to

Wheeler's a real candidate

Christian Colon for Men

1:08

Does Sal Perez get enough votes to hang out on the HOF ballot for multiple years?

Dan Szymborski

1:08

No, I think he gets scattered votes but not 5%

Roger

1:08

Is Tatis going to end up being another if not for injuries Eric Davis type?

Dan Szymborski

1:08

Too early to stay

say

I'm still hopeful that they resolve the shoulder issues

Cito

1:09

Predict Robbie Ray's next contract?

ZiPS says 4/90 right now

brad penny for your thoughts

1:12

did you have an equivalent of "The Max" when you were in high school? and there was a wacky server who also dabbled in magic?

Dan Szymborski

1:12

I did not
