Eric, who else did you see at the scrimmage?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:53
It was a mix.
from Erik Kratz to Xavier Edwards

What kind of devilry is a knuckle slider
Eric A Longenhagen
10:57
i'll show you...

How much of a blow is the Suzuki injury?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:59
I think it's significant. Gomes has a much better arm and Houston was taking advantage of Suzuki in that way, but Suzuki is superior in every other facet. And Gomes was mishandling pitches late in the year, kinda harrowing.

is the crowd misjudging these fly outs, or do they sound loud because of the microphone levels?
Sharp
11:01
We are misjudging them. Cold wind blowing in from the outfield is killing them all
Plus we are desparate
Meg Rowley
11:01
Sorry, buddy -- hope we're a good distraction
Sharp

My wife is an Astros fan, so she's happy at least

Devastated Marsh doesn't wear his shortish shorts in games.

Are catchers more likely to be bilingual than players at other positions?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:06
Yes, I was actually talking about this with Kiley a few days ago. It's part of what helps qualify them to be managers later on.

Who is winning NL East next year?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:08
I think Atlanta. I think that young pitching settles into long term roles with some of Touki, Wright, Ynoa, Weigel, Folty really thriving and giving them a deep staff
Meg Rowley
11:10
Yeah, I'll take Atlanta, too, especially with the Nationals likely having a Rendon-sized hole to fill

Thoughts on Manfred? Any positives?
Meg Rowley
11:10
Often seems to tie his tie straight. Just really good knots.

Have the Phillies squandered their rebuild by not building up their pitching? Feels like I wouldn’t pick them over anyone in that division except the fish and maybe the mets
Eric A Longenhagen
11:12
I think they've lacked creativity with how they deploy pitching. They also had injuries that weren't there fault. Bullpen looks different late in the year with Seranthony and Morgan.
11:13
Yuli has been better than I thought when he first left Cuba.
Meg Rowley
11:14
feel like we're in a golden age for having to revisit our understanding of what body types can be and are athletic

Hi Eric, with the AFL season now over, any standouts or thoughts to share from this season?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:16
I've made changes to this throughout the AFL:https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2019-arizona-fall-league...
The guy I'd point to are all guys who came into AFL unranked (they're at the bottom, have no org rank)
11:17
Oliva had a great fall
Nate
11:17
Did you get to see Yuli at all when he was younger? Or when he was first working out for teams after he defected?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:17
nope
Sharp

Guerra giving up some hard contact...Robles keeps bailing out the staff.
Eric A Longenhagen
11:22
He's been really great out there tonight.
Fire Ken Tremendous
11:22
Remember in Game One when we thought Robles didn't know how to play OF?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:22
It was so bizarre.
Meg Rowley
11:26
I wonder how many people are truly "just checking out" the baseball game
Lunar verLander

Well, some college football games just ended...so I guess it's possible?
