Interesting.
3:04
It's not an environment I scouted at all with Pit, I'm not super familiar with it, but the way some guys go from huge power to nothing at all just leaves me skeptical as a general matter.
Like, go look at Albert Rios's career path

Who's your favorite "flawed prospect" that you want to believe in?
Brendan Gawlowski
3:05
Might be Ethan at this point

is Cole Young selling out or can he make this work?
Brendan Gawlowski
3:06
I have no idea if he's selling out but 31% SO, 5% BB is not going to work for him.
Sal's Mom
3:08
Salas, yes?
Brendan Gawlowski
3:08
Holliday, sorry
I mean, I like Salas too, he's a great catcher, I hope it works, etc.
Hey Brad…
3:09
Any chance this early call up and lack of immediate success actually does cause Griffin harm?
Brendan Gawlowski
3:09
I don't think going 1-13 is going to break him, no.
Sean miller
3:10
chances basallo sees some triple a?
Brendan Gawlowski
3:11
Not zero but it's seven games in April, let's give it a bit of time
Kate
3:11
Only three games, but kinda surprised Brendan Summerhill is whiffing this much at a level he aced last year.  Could this be a situation where the team is having him work on a swing change or something?
Brendan Gawlowski
3:12
Three games. let's check back in a couple weeks
AT
3:12
When does Eldridge come up?  anytime soon, or is he still working on stuff?
Brendan Gawlowski
3:13
I think AAA at bats are still helpful for him.
Cool Lester Smooth
3:13
How typical have Justin Crawford’s batted ball outcomes been, so far?
Brendan Gawlowski
3:13
Not very in the sense that he's not going to BABIP .440
3:14
It'll be high, he is good at putting the ball in play, there's a little hit skill, he's going to leg things out.

With the injuries to the Cubs pitchers, do you think Jaxon Wiggins or anyone else might get called up soon?
Brendan Gawlowski
3:16
I suspect Vince Velasquez comes up first but if you keep losing a starter per week it's not going to be long...
Sirras
3:16
Obligatory Jonah Tong question
Brendan Gawlowski
3:16
Mixed bag out of the gate
Sal's Mom
3:17
Who is the best athlete in the minors by your estimation?
Brendan Gawlowski
3:17
Cijntje is pretty freaky
O
3:17
Are Bubba's walk issues worse than you anticipated?
Brendan Gawlowski
3:17
Yes
Ozzie
3:18
Do yo think Emerson has a legitimate chance to win the Golden Spikes award?
Brendan Gawlowski
3:18
Is this a Grady question? I don't think he's gonna get there

Rookie debut you've been most impressed with this season? There have been a lot. Has to be McGonigle, looks like a 10-year pro out there with the plate discipline and competitive at-bats
Brendan Gawlowski
3:20
There have been a lot of good ones. Weatherholt/McGonigle jump out. Peyton Pallette looks good

Benge - with Soto on the DL it's a moot point but should he maybe be spending time in AAA?
Brendan Gawlowski
3:22
Of the top guys who were promoted to start the year, his felt the most aggressive.
Sal's Mom
3:22
Is Spencer Jones best case something like Joey Gallo?
Brendan Gawlowski
3:22
That's what you're hoping for
Robert Andrew Witt Junior
3:23
Do you grade pitchers on the non-pitching things they do, like holding runners, fielding their position, pickoffs, etc? Obviously these aren't important as the quality of their pitches, but they can make a difference
Brendan Gawlowski
3:24
Yes; time to the plate is a big one.
Colton
3:25
What's the cut line in your estimation for a defensive wizard to start losing at bats quickly? This is a Denzel Clarke question
