Big wind storms in OH yesterday! Lost power for 6 hours. All I had cellphone and sadness.

Dan, you now have a lifetime contract with FanGraphs. I don't think I could take you leaving after all the departures over the last 18 months.

Dan Szymborski

12:06

I maintain I'm way too obnoxious for a team to want me as a co-worker full-time.

Aaron Hicks is to the Yankees as beans are to chili: ESSENTIAL

Dan Szymborski

12:07

So you think Hicks is meaningless? I think you're underrating him severely

Happy Monday and belated 20th Birthday Greetings to Galileo! If he blew out the candles on the Arby's birthday sandwich we would really be impressed.

Dan Szymborski

12:09

That he did not. He just sat there looking at it until I did something about the fire, with a couple of mournful meows about his lack of access to the roast beef.

I'm about to smash a wooden chair over a co-worker's back. I'm going to need you to play some old-timey saloon brawl music on the piano or the whole thing will fizzle out before I can sneak away.

Dan Szymborski

12:09

THe problem with old timey 19th century saloon piany, is that you need the piano to be really out of tune. My real piano is in tune and my digital piano doesn't get out of tune

12:10

(And given the digital piano cost as much as mid-tier upright, it better not!)

Why did Goldschmidt's projections for 2019, go from 3.7 WAR in November (Arizona elegy) to 4.4 in January (Cards projections)? Devil Magic?

Dan Szymborski

12:10

Prelims, I believe that was before 2019 park effects and the newer model were in play

12:11

With changes in Arizona, that would be a larger change than usua

If you could change the baseball world (with or without backing from Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds), what are the first steps you would take?

Dan Szymborski

1% of revenue sharing goes to me.

Who will have a better year, Adalberto Mondesi or Victor Robles?

Dan Szymborski

12:11

I think Mondesi

but i like Robles, dont' get me wrong

But he may not be a day one starter and may be worked in with Taylor ABs

When will the sortable ZiPS projections be posted on here?

Dan Szymborski

12:12

Pretty near as soon as I can do final updates. Really need internet on my desktop

Dan, I'll be running out to grab lunch promptly at 11. I'd appreciate if you postpone the start of the chat. 11:10 should be sufficient.

Dan Szymborski

12:13

You should naturally assume I'll forget or be distracted and be 5 minutes late

Don Von Handburger

Does Brock Holt make your ____ jolt?

Dan Szymborski

12:13

___ fingers when I accidentally touch the 220V outlet that the dryer is plugged into___

Brock Holt! cannot change how electricity work.
