Rockies
Denver would be up there in cities to live in
Plus, ease of access to the additional " help" required to make the job tolerable

Thanks for doing these chats, one of my favorite parts of opening day now

The Yankees have more projected WAR, but more of the staff picked the Jays to win the division. What's up with that? Injury concerns about the Yanks? Projections underrating the Jays bullpen or rotation?
AvatarJay Jaffe
1:09
They've already had so much go wrong with their rotation, and while our current assumptions are that Rodón and Severino won't miss all that much time, complications and additional injuries could be enough to swing the balance.

I personally let my rooting interests affect these things.

@Davy Lets stick with "Good Afternoon Everyone!"

How are the Padres so stacked but also Rougned Odor makes the roster?
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:08
The last player or two on rosters is frequently quite awful, even on good teams!

Which rookie do you think could be a dark horse candidate for a breakout season or ROTY campaign?
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:09
Is Pfaadt dark horse enough or is that too easy?
Davy Andrews

First chili question of the season just came in!
AvatarDan Szymborski

If so, I'll take Jameson instead

@alex you mentioned baseballr for R users to pull some data,  any package out there for python users??
Alex Eisert
1:13
I'm partial to R myself but have heard good things about pybaseball!

@Vijay East Coast bias! For some of us it’s still a very good morning. :)
Alex Eisert
1:11
If it was an East Coast bias he would've said hi to Davy and I too since we're here in New York cry

Does Albies hitting cleanup seem strange to you?
Davy Andrews
1:12
Take a look at his ISO numbers. Works for me!

Dan S - Are you so excited for Opening Day that you'd eat a bowl of Skyline Chili if the traditional food of Opening Day were Skyline Chili?
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:11
Ah, but I am not culturally conservative, so I would not personally follow traditions! Usually my personal tradition is to cure and smoke my own pastrami, but I got behind on work becuase of being violently ill for most of February, so no pastrami for me this Opening Day.
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:11
I do have my traditional Opening Day Dark and Stormys
AvatarJay Jaffe
1:12
Damn, I don't have any Opening Day traditions to fall back upon, other than Watch LOTS of Baseball
Not That Dan
1:12
I don't know how I'm expected to watch the Giants, follow the chat, read some season preview articles, and get any work done today
Davy Andrews
1:12
Who told you you had to get work done?
5 Run Homer

First stolen base of the season already!

Cole high on all four for the walk.  LOVE IT!

I'm blacked out!

Though I'll try not to have 16 of them like I did at our Cleveland ASG panel. People kept bringing me them! That was the most recent time I was sick from drinking and had to nope out of breakfast with the FG team the next day
Oaktown Blues
1:13
Esteury Ruiz hit a 109.4 MPH home run the other day! Maybe the EV concerns are overblown? Or am I extrapolating too much from a single BBE?
Davy Andrews
1:14
That does make me just a bit more excited.
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:13
Don't read too much into individual hits!
Davy Andrews
1:15
But also, I'd advise you to listen to Dan more than you listen to me.

I'm so excited, I'm peeing my pants.  Happy Opening Day to all!
