Call Monument Liquors and ask. They only sell 1 bottle per customer though so better bring friends if you want more than one.

Need saves! Puig too much to give up to land an Osuna?
Eno Sarris
1:37
I think you can do that. I still have some hope for Puig, but this island is getting smaller, and Osuna is a strong young closer on a good team.

time for drinking macrobrew lager - weddings - dont expect the bride and groom to pony up for $6 a pop craft brew
Eno Sarris
1:37
doesn't cost that out of the keg, but sure, I don't complain about the beer at a wedding.

Which do you prefer: playoffs or pennant races?
Eno Sarris
1:38
I don't love September baseball because of the rules.

I talked with my friends last week (an Indians fan) about a possibility Cleveland could go after Wil Myers before the deadline since the Padres will be sellers. Does Cleveland have enough assets to make that possibility a reality?
Eno Sarris
1:39
Sure, but if you're Preller, and you're admitting to your boss that you can't be competitive in the next three years, don't you think that's a bad thing to admit?

I went to Crooked Stave in Denver last weekend. Everyone: if you're in the area, you have to go. The sours blew my mind
Eno Sarris
1:39
yes they are so great.

Need Holds help. FA's are Dull, Hochever, Shaw, Ottovino, Caminero, May or Osich. Who is best for 2nd half? Holla at your boy!!
Eno Sarris

Dull highest floor. Ottavino and Caminero higher ceilings.

I have this table bookmarked in my browser and sorted by K%-BB%. I take note of small changes each day and it helps me target by low options (I recently traded for Smyly). Anything wrong with this strategy and should I incorporate anything else? http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=y&type=c,4,5,11,7,8,13,-1,36,37,40,43,44,48,51,-1,6,45,62,-1,59,122,124,217&season=2016&month=0&season1=2016&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&sort=22,d

The only thing missing there is homers, which has become increasingly important as homers are going nuts.

Paul is unhelpful with Austin breweries. Have you been to any/have any recommendations?
Eno Sarris
1:42
Jester King is the must, but Live Oak is good. Austin Beerworks too.

re: Trillium - taproom in the new brewery in Canton now, 20oz/pp limit on pours on weekdays, but usually no limit on Sat.

Best Brewery visits in NYC area (5 boroughs)?
Eno Sarris
1:42
Threes, Singlecut, Transmitter.

How much are organizations prevented from making optimal moves for fear of bad press or pissing off the fans?
Eno Sarris
1:43
I was talking to Adam Ottavino about what the Rockies would do -- everyone pitches four innings, should they draft mostly pitchers -- and at the end we shrugged and agreed that people want to keep their jobs, and if you do something crazy, and it doesn't work, it's your fault.

How many copies of your book have been sold? Where can I get one?
Eno Sarris
1:44
Dunno! Don't want to know! www.beergraphs.com/book

we did a semi-destination wedding. Everyone CAN get there, it's not overly expensive, but it's a pain in the ass. Only the people who want to get there, get there.

Are you sure that by pitching with the wind, d'Arnaud didn't just mean that Bartolo was gassy during his Wrigley start?
Leif Erikson
1:45
Eno, I know you watch Russo because your job is baseball but take an hour break from MLB Network each day and make it the hour he is on. He is awful.
Kerry

I'm very convinced beer palette burnout is a thing! I only drink IPA's and rotate my five or so favorites regularly, and when I'm away from them for awhile they taste better when I come back. Thoughts?
Eno Sarris
1:45
yes, make sure to buy your old favorites and then return to your new favorites, it's really fun.

ENO - I know it's 25 min away from Miami but Funky Buddha is a great brewery to check out - for the person who spoke of Miami area breweries
Eno Sarris
1:45
Boca!

Are most of your player interviews done with players visiting AT&T or O.co? Or do you ever go on the road / how often?
Eno Sarris
1:46
Almost all in the bay area. I'll go to the Futures game and usually work 1-2 games a year in San Diego, sometimes work a game or two in LA/ANA, have worked the Cell while on the road in Chicago.

Does your book talk about beers inside the stadiums or just the surrounding areas?
Eno Sarris
1:46
Both.

You've mentioned in the past how your general strategy is to sell your prospects for current major league pieces - can you talk us through your rationale on that? I've built up an epic farm system in my league, and am currently in 2nd. Need that extra boost in incentive to move all my minor leaguers
Eno Sarris
1:47
Well don't move all of them! My wrinkle on that philosophy is to move all non top ten prospects because the bust rate soars after the top ten.

Albies currently has a 184 wRC+ in AA while he had an 89 wRC+ in AAA. Is AAA really that much more difficult?
