how do you feel about wright,hill,skaggs rest of way and

Eno Sarris

12:21

Really nervous. Hill at least will be good when in. Might put Wright last, but what happened to those double-digit swinging strike rates Skaggs was putting up in the minors.

Bird Person

12:21

Peavy isn't exactly a shining light at the end of the tunnel either

Eno Sarris

12:21

No, not really, but fifth starters are cobbled together, not usually bought.

Homie you starting Jose Urena today against the Mets? Yes, my fantasy season has become a desperate situation.

Eno Sarris

12:22

If they can't hit Urena... sigh.

Eric

12:22

Scott Schebler has been heating up of late. Is he worth owning in OPS leagues?

Eno Sarris

12:23

He can be a Grichuk, low OBP high SLG guy. Exit velo king with poor discipline, contact skills.

Kris

12:23

So I'm in second this year going for a championship and I just dealt Moncada for Jose Bautista. A keep 6 format, so Moncada would've been on the line to keep anyways. Did I mess up?

Eno Sarris

12:23

I don't think so. It's probably like a 5-10% proposition that he plays his way into a top 75 situation in baseball in the next four weeks. As great as he might be later.

Fire Kevin Cash

12:24

Is Nick Franklin showing himself to be a contributing player who can stay in the bigs a full year? Switch-hitting, 6/7 position utility running 161 wRC+ second half.

Eno Sarris

12:25

Finally curbed that K% by cutting the reach%. He usually had success with a new level if he was given time, and if he doesn't need to be a shortstop... Yeah I think he'll have a job next year.

Erik

12:25

The Royals, Yankees, Mariners, and Marlins all have about a 5% chance at making the playoffs. Which would you be least surprised to see make a run and slip in at the last second?

Eno Sarris

12:26

Mariners actually. Miranda is a capable five and everyone in the rotation is (sorta) healthy and could go off (maybe).

Jimbo Swanson

12:26

Too many keepers. Flip for draft picks to non imposing teams or throw back and re draft next year? I'm leaning towards draft picks....

Eno Sarris

12:27

Flip for picks but maybe keep one of your more favoritest ones that you might want back.

Dock Ellis

12:27

Eno, I just moved to Denver and I'm having problems spending hours gawking at all the new available beer that I can buy. What should my approach be at the beer store so I don't blow my entire budget/spend my entire day trying to pick which beers to buy?

Eno Sarris

12:27

Remember that you have to drink them in order and freshness is important. So 1/3 IPA, 1/3 sour, 1/3 stout.

Erik

12:27

Do you expect definitive answers to what is the biggest cause of arm injuries to come out in the next few years? I see basically every pitch, as well as velocity and total usage, cited as the primary cause. Is this a solvable problem?

Eno Sarris

12:28

No.

Bob

12:28

Think Alex Reyes stays in the St. Louis rotation and worth a pickup off the wire?

Eno Sarris

12:29

No idea, but just the possibility is worth picking up for his Friday start against the Reds. #fire

Eric

12:29

Any chance Lewis Brinson comes up in September?

Eno Sarris

12:30

Their OF is crowded and they'd probably rather give the guys up in the OF now a long look than mess with a 22-year-old that's been up and down.

Joe

12:30

Finnegan looks great right? Second highest swinging strike to Scherzer among qualified starters in last 14 days...

Eno Sarris

12:31

Huh. Finally throwing that changeup more. 20% over last two starts. And the pitch has 20% whiffs over 359 thrown. Velo even back up to average for a lefty. I look away for a while and he makes a comeback huh.

A cat

12:32

What r u expecting from Sandoval next year?

Eno Sarris

12:32

League average play between stints on the DL. Perhaps for a new team.

Fister I hardly know her

12:32

What if I told you that while society might see a clear line of demarcation between "human food" and 'cat food", I have a more nuanced view of that continuum.

Please Please Please

12:32

How can we influence this Greinke back to LAD thing? I need that, Eno. NEED IT

My professor says that if Jesus were a baseball player, he'd be a LOOGY. Tuition dollars at work.

Had my first Ballast Point Sculpin this past weekend based on your recommendation...Pineapple was delicious. Grapefruit up for this weekend...can't wait

12:33

Do you drink the same beers year round, or do you prefer to match your drink to the season?

Eno Sarris

12:34

I like wet hop season -- Lagunitas Born Yesterday, Founders, Hoppin Frog all have excellent wet hop beers. Other than that... eh. Maybe a few more stouts in the cold.

cicholas nage

12:34

am i crazy, i thought you weren't big on lagunitas?

Eno Sarris

12:34

I get a little tired of some of their IPA line, which can be hard to distinguish from each other. But Aunt Sally, Born Yesterday, Sucks, and their flagship IPA are all p good.

cicholas nage

12:35

it'd be awkward if kiermaier's middle name was like, kyle

Eno Sarris

12:35

As a family member you'd have to jump out your chair and say something when that name was floated.

Tyson Ross' shoulder is barking in rehab. Did I waste a DL spot all season? Or is there any hope that he's a useful September player?
