Im really not sure how the Pirates manage to move anyone to create room for a rotation upgrade. Any idea on who they ship out, what their return will be, and who they try to bring in? I'd like to see Cashner personally.

Eno Sarris

12:15

I don't think they buy. I think they promote from within.

12:15

Could Dipoto get more than a bag of balls for Lind? How about Lee? Something's gotta give with Vogelbach around now, right?

Eno Sarris

12:16

Yeah that's going to happen soon. I bet he keeps Lee to platoon with Vogelbach and shops Lind. It won't be a great return, but it might be something.

Chris

12:16

What are your expectations for Domingo Santana after he returns from his injury? Still stash worthy in deeper/dynasty leagues?

Eno Sarris

12:16

Yeah if you keep more than 15 in a 12+ league, I'd consider him. He's a great stash for teams that are out of it. He's really improved his discipline, and hits the ball really hard, all he has to do is get healthy and get some loft. Could easily Marcell Ozuna.

12:17

I liked Jorge Soler and Marcell Ozuna for the same reasons I like Domingo Santana, so it's not like this is a lock. But he's interesting and cheap.

The Man With The Plan

12:17

Andrew Benintendi?

Eno Sarris

12:17

Yes.

Old Roman Dudes

12:17

Can confirm Pliny at Monument! Also know about 2 other stores in the East Bay that carry the old dude, delivery times and day. I hit those stores 4 hours after their delivery last week and they were already sold out. I didn't make that same mistake this week. I'll be philosophising come Friday night!

Eno Sarris

12:18

Someone stopped me at the farmer's market once because my child had a Tiny Pliny shirt from Russian River. "Well actually it's pronounced plinny," she said. "Okay," I said.

12:18

Death by Coconut is my new favorite beer and its not close, I love the chocolate, its like chocolate water lol. Can you give me some more suggestions to try that are similar since I have to wait until release for more. Thanks

Eno Sarris

12:19

You and Ceetar! How about Kona Koko Brown? You might see that around.

2-D

12:19

ENO, thank Jobu for your twitter, gameday classic isn't dead! Yet...

Eno Sarris

12:19

slowly going away

Justin

12:19

What should the Dodgers be trying to do at the deadline, other than "hope key players perform better" and "fire the doctor who cleared Kershaw to return early"?

Eno Sarris

12:20

Perhaps engage the Rays and see what they want for a pitcher?

Maxamuz

12:20

If I told you someone you work with looks like McLovin, who would you say it is?

Eno Sarris

12:21

probably rhymes with Maul Corer.

Section 118

12:21

Eno! How did Ryon Healy look since his callup?

Eno Sarris

12:22

I really like that he's hitting doubles to oppo center and pulled his homer to pull center. Hits the ball hard. Want to see him take some pitches, but have even seen that at some point.

Josh

12:22

Theo and Jed talked about only bringing in an external piece if it is a clear upgrade (so as not to ruffle feathers)... is Mike Montgomery a clear upgrade?

Eno Sarris

12:22

yes, but he's not taking the closer's role, so it probably doesn't ruffle many feathers other than T Wood's.

Louisville Slugger

12:22

Hello friendo! Should I worry about Drew Pomeranz?

Eno Sarris

12:24

New park certainly won't help his home run rate. He's a little predictable. 4s away, 2s in, cutter in, curve away. Fastball hittable. Let's see another start in Fenway.

Shawn

12:24

Is Tyler Naquin for real? Maybe not THIS Tyler Naquin, but a better version than what he was as a prospect?

Eno Sarris

12:24

August's piece was very compelling. I see a change in approach. Regression coming, but maybe this power is more real than I first thought.

Gest

12:24

Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in!!! I was done with Eovaldi, now he's rumored to be interesting to the Pirates - if that were to happen could you talk me out of spot starting him??

Eno Sarris

12:25

I'd like to see what this new approach would do in the NL, yes.

The Cincinnati Kid

12:25

Better to let AJ Reed work through these struggles at MLB or send down to AAA until he really figures it out?

Eno Sarris

12:25

Bet he goes down when Gurriel is ready, and Valbuena plays some first.

dbacksfan

12:25

I'm kind of new to baseball. But I'd really like to learn more about some specific pitchers and their tendencies. When I'm watching a pitcher for the first time, what should I look for?

Eno Sarris

12:27

Look for what they throw in two-strike counts, that's their best pitch. Look for what they throw in two-ball, no strike counts. That's a pitch that they command well, and especially interesting if it's not a fastball.

Shawn

12:27

Saw your haul of NEBCO beers - Coriolis better than G-Bot IMO. Canned for 1st time last week - a true Nelson bomb

Eno Sarris

12:28

Overall, I was impressed with my first dabble with New England Beer Co! Sea Hag was fresh and bright and G-Bot was Huge.

Yoan Moncada

12:28

What do you make of reports that the Red Sox are planning on keeping me at 2B through the remainder of the 2016 minor league season? Smart move so that I can focus on reducing my strikeouts and hitting LHP? Strange move because it seems to delay the timetable for my call-up to Boston? or Trade-deadline posturing to keep my value as high as possible in an attempt to acquire Chris Sale/Jose Fernandez? I don't know what to think. Help me, Eno!

Eno Sarris

12:29

Keep a guy at the place where he has the most value until right before you need/want him up. Think of Mookie. He didn't play a ton of OF until they needed him up.

David Wiers

12:30

Who was your favorite person to see in Chicago, and why was it me?

Eno Sarris

12:31

Man it was a fun trip. And it was great to see you! My favorite conversations are with the STATS/BIS pitch tracking nerds.

Heading to Pittsburgh for a Pirates game in a couple weeks. Any breweries you recommend in the area? Thanks Eno
