I *should* note that ZiPS had him with a 3.67 FIP coming into the season, so it was never off the hype train for realz

12:19

The mix not so much, but the uptick of velocity will help. But in the end, performance is still the biggest deal.

And his performance has been damn spiffy

Keeper league - With two weeks to go, up by .5 in roto with fairly conventional 5x5 cats - have nearly perfect number of points at pitching but batting is suffering. Would you deal Sonny Gray/Seth Lugo/Canha for Nelson Cruz/Matt Olson/2021 draft pick. This is dynasy league with 25 person keepers.

Dan Szymborski

12:20

I think I'd do that in your situation.

dont you know

12:20

even with cano's recent slump, what are your thoughts on his very good year so far?

Dan Szymborski

12:20

It's good to see the rebound from 2019. I'm still not sure I want to see him playing defense at 2nd through 2023

Should I be worried about Luis Urias at all? Grisham and Davies are tearing it up in San Diego and I don't feel great.

Dan Szymborski

12:21

I'm not worried. It's not like he's been bad or anything when healthy

Any chance we can get pCRA integrated into Fangraphs? More predictive YoY than SIERA

Dan Szymborski

12:21

Gotta talk to Apples!

Hey Dan! Any thoughts/idea what the plan for Wander will be in 2021? Held down until the super 2 deadline and then promoted?

Dan Szymborski

12:22

I literally have no idea at this point. The whole 2020 weirdness has thrown off my gut feelings, aided by tea leaves and talking with people, on stuff like this

Appa Yip Yip

12:22

The team I cheer for is chock full of young, fun, talented players so why am I jealous of other teams' young, fun, talented players?

Dan Szymborski

12:22

Grass is always greener!

mike

12:22

do you think the yankees can still legitimately win the ws?

Dan Szymborski

12:22

Sure. Any team can in this playoff format.

My mom won’t let me out of my room to join the Dan Szymborski chat. Call child services.

Dan Szymborski

12:23

I think they take kids away from being explosed to my dumbassery

I am a cat, latos

How many hours of CK3 have you played so far?

Dan Szymborski

12:23

20.7 hours

12:24

The lack of being able to pick any date is going to hurt its replayability for me in the long run.

I liked to start around interesting historical things.

12:25

But the game says "remember how you could start on 100,000 different dates in CK2? OK, now you can start on 2."

And I don't mean "get four more dates as part of paid DLCs." THe lack of this functionality really hurts the game for me.

12:26

So I can't see this game matching the 800 hours that CK2 got.

Is there anyway to make the 3 year zip projections updated daily and how has Austin Nola’s season effected his?

Dan Szymborski

12:26

Not really at this time.

Blue Morpho

12:26

Would you rather lose 19-0 or 29-9?

Dan Szymborski

12:26

29-9. At least someone on the team did something.

12:27

A forfeit score is only 9-0!

Also, your cat names sound like the characters participating in a weird one-off Sandman story.

What is a typical weekday Dan breakfast? I bet it involves some sort of elaborately prepared eggs.

Dan Szymborski

12:27

I don't typically eat breakfast.

Eating early in the day tends to disagree with me.

I don't usually eat anything until noon at the earliest and probably half the time, not until 3 or 4 in the afternoon.

Hi Dan; The Fangraphs statistics are awesome!!! One complaint - the names used across various screens can be different. Example - Urshela is Giovanny on some screens, Gio on others. Consistency would be helpful for those of us who pull the files and use the names for the search! Please pass on to the appropriate person. Thanks!!!

Dan Szymborski

12:28

Yeah, there are some issues with consistency we've been trying to stamp out.
