Heather talks to Dan Szymborski,  Fangraphs writer and the creator of the ZIPS projection system. Dan is a nerd. 
Dan is also an Orioles fan! Something many Orioles fans are not aware of, because lately ZIPS  ranks the Orioles down at the bottom every year. (Though, they are the second most overrated team over the last 17 years, so really you could argue it has a pro-Orioles bias!)
We talk the days of very early baseball internet communities, how MLB's target demographics are billionaires and 1950s/1960s  (white) nuclear families, the future of baseball media,  and, you know, all the how he fell in love with baseball/why he loves baseball/favorite moments/what he's excited about stuff.
