My college recently had Cincinnati chili during the lunch hour, that night at dinner I told my friends I had a craving for chili and they innocently told me about the said chili and I informed them that that is in fact not chili. Thank you for enlightening the world.

Were those 3 balk calls nuts, or what? Bleier was set on all 3 pitches according to my eyeballs.

Dan Szymborski

1:04

I was really confused by the whole thing

That's as set as pitchers really get

Also I don't think it gets brought up enough that in FF4 they're just like Hey Cecil u r from the moon u r a moon baby

Dan, you planning on grabbing a 40 series card?

Dan Szymborski

1:05

Honestly, I don't have any need to

My 2080 Super was still meeting my needs when the RTX 3080 came out, but I got the 3080 for retail ($730 plus tax) and I could sell my 2080 Super for $600 at the time, so it made sense to do that

1:06

But I play at 1440p. The 3080 doesn't sweat any of that. And if I get a 40 series card, I'm going to have to replace my PSU aswell and that's a hassle

(I never *ever* use an adapter)

Can we really say with any precision what anybody's value in the field is today? The 3 major defensive metrics constantly disagree with each other, so the error bars on true defensive skill have to be huge

Dan Szymborski

1:07

With precision? No

But we have a better idea how Rougned Odor plays second than Rogers Hornsby

Are the Phillies choking, or is their poor play just random variance?

Dan Szymborski

1:07

I think it' sjust the normal ups and downs

1:08

I'm not a big believer in the whole choking thing at the MLB level

Let’s say the Cubs go get Rodon and Correa. Where do you think that puts them in the NL Central?

Dan Szymborski

1:08

I think it's makes them serious contenders

With 3 major defensive metrics (OAA, UZR, DRS), which version is ZiPS actually trying to project?

Dan Szymborski

1:08

Some mystery truth that ends up somewhere in the middle!

Queen or Rush?

Dan Szymborski

1:09

I tell myself I slightly prefer Rush, but I probably listen to more Queen than Rush

1:10

Though these days I'm mostly nerdy indie pop/indie folk stuff. I've become a music hipster by accident

At least with popular music

When will my friend Jim stop rooting for the Angels?

Dan Szymborski

1:10

GODDAMIT JIM STOP ENABLING THEM

On that note, it's time for me to head out for another week.

Thanks for coming everyone!
