AvatarDan Szymborski

The Jays won't be in Canada exactly a year from now as it will still be spring training.

I am not in the best shape of my life. But I am in better shape than Pablo Sandoval, I'm not kidding!

I've been working on some fanfic that involves Harry Potter trying to excel at the Muggle sport "baseball," while also respecting the rich traditions of both muggles and wizards. I'm trying to incorporate sabermetric terminology in this piece of writing, but I want them more wizard friendly. BABIP = BATIP, WHIP = WITCH, and RA9 = RA666...Do you have other ideas that would really help ground this tale of magic for a muggle audience?

I'm not sure.

Obviously. WAR = Wizards Above Replacement.

Did Kolten Wong just move up the rankings now that he prob won't be splitting time?
AvatarDan Szymborski

I the end, I don't think he was really going to be in a time share when push came to shove.

Aroldis Chapman: Shows poor judgement and GF seemingly overstates/fabricates violence, and he gets a 30 game suspension. Jose Reyes should likely be stoned in CF for his crimes, right?
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:09
Pretty much.
1:10
Unless he broke someone's collarbone in which case: 8 games.

RE: bork - The Angels have not much else in the outfield? Last I checked Calhoun has been worth +7.5 WAR in 14/15
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:10
I'm saying theoretically that Trout and not much else is always something.

Will there be any tweaks to your mid-season ZiPS update? I seem to recall you saying that not as much work goes into those. Also, they look very similar to the initial 2016 ZiPS in many cases. Is that by design?
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:10
They're quite different in a lot of cases.
But there will be similarities for obvious reasons.

Airports.

Dorm 101. Get your own router and hook it up directly to a line in. Name router "For a good time come to room (insert room of neighbour here)". You get both good WIFI and a hilariously pissed off neighbour!

Age related decline is a bitch but does Miggy post a surprise 7 wins season at any point during the rest of his career?
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:11
He's good enough to.

Any way the Orioles could use Peralta's injury to dump JJ Hardy's contract onto the Cards?
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:11
I don't think the O's realize that it would be a good idea.
1:12
OK, we're past 1, so let's go into the Lightning Round.
The rules of the Lightning Round are simple: I must answer every off-topic question, so long as it's off-topic, with the usual exceptions (extremely personal or work related). THis continues until I either catch up or get bored.
AND GO

How disappointing will this years main event at Wrestlemania be? I mean, they are keeping Reigns off the TV so he's not boo'd each week.
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:13
I think lackluster.

new HS expansion to be announce Friday
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:14
I know, I was invited to the Wednesday event (couldn't make it) and there will likely be an info embargo that goes on past Friday, so what I share will depend on that.

What genre of video games do you feel isn't being fully optimized?
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:14
I think we're really starving for good non-action RPGs.

will there ever be a player with a last name of "Ill-tempered Seabass"?
AvatarDan Szymborski

Too unusual a surname

35 years old with 1.2M sitting in a 3.5% yield div portfolio. Should I feel okay leaving the corporate world to do something I really like now?
