Where can I get my " I Don't Give a %*!# Who Dan Szymborski Is " T-Shirt?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

Now THAT is a t-shirt!

I can sell something that bashes me way easier than something praiseworthy.

newbie

Morbo

12:57

I'd wear that shirt.

If I were to try and build a legit projection system in the off season would you have any recommendations or suggestions on pitfalls to avoid? I'd probably try to use something like python but I don't actually know any python

Stay away from giant nets on my property or you'll end up in the oubliette with the ZiPS creator

did you see Ben Clemens' (real) mom actually came by to one of his chats? She answered questions and everything!

Dan Szymborski

12:57

12:58

My mom's not that computer savvy

Guest

12:58

if you have kids someday, will you co-parent them with ZiPS?

Dan Szymborski

12:58

I would think the mother would object

Morbo

When this year is all said and done, Domingo German will still have 20 left on suspension. Did I get that right?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

No, unless I missed a more recent change, suspensions wouldn't carry over into 2021.

1:01

OK, I didn't make that up.

"After two weeks of negotiations, Major League Baseball and the players union reached a deal on Thursday night on how to deal with salaries, service time and other issues if the season is shortened from 162 games.
German’s status was addressed by New York Post baseball writer Joel Sherman, who tweeted, “The way that the MLB/MLBPA agreement reads on domestic violence suspensions, Domingo German will have to serve the remaining 63 games of his ban, but if there is no season or a shortened season, it does not carry over to 2021."

Indians' asking price for Clevinger went from "ridiculous" to what it was in a matter of days. What one word description would you use to describe what it ended up being?

Dan Szymborski

1:01

Fine

If you want more quantity than quality, that's the kind of package you look for

Guest

1:01

have you played around with the ZiPS model to try and predict other stuff? how did it turn out?

Dan Szymborski

1:01

It's not really directly applicable simply becuase it's based on baseball-specific things

1:02

I don't have an easy framework I can just zip zop zoopity bop over to something else

Would you trade Paddack and Albies for Wander Franco in a dynasty league?

Dan Szymborski

1:02

Probably not. And I like Franco

do you collect any baseball memoribilia? I really want autographed baseballs but don't know how to ensure they're real

Dan Szymborski

1:02

I am not a collector.

simply a fact

1:03

Dan Szymborski

1:03

Depends on the country

I do like an american breakfast though

Rick

Better outlook next year Clevinger or Bauer? Is Bauer going to experiment dropping his spin to zero?
