Eddie Rosario and Dexter Fowler seem the same to me this year, one you rather have this year? why?
Eno Sarris
1:00
I just trust Dexter Fowler to keep doing it more.

Somethings to look for in a under-valued pitcher?
Eno Sarris
1:01
Good velocity, good movement, even mix.

This is only season Stanton has stayed healthy
Eno Sarris
1:01
he's had two seasons with 600+ PA, and I'm unsure how much to penalize him for being hit by a ball.

Stanton wasn't straight up claimed because of the opt-out. Cameron is right about that--it totally changes the value of the contract begins it pins all the risk on the team.
Eno Sarris
1:04
I understand that will become part of the discussion in a trade... but in claiming? Here's a thing about the risk: is he going to suck? Or is he going to have a debilitating injury that forces him out. Because if he sucks, sure, then the risk is on the team. I don't get that, because Stanton has been great when in. Is he going to have a debilitating injury? maybe, but then you have insurance. I guess a nagging chronic injury is the third, disastrous outcome for a team, but if I was running a team I would have claimed the contract.

Thank you Eno, the idea that his contract is underwater is silly. I get it, the opt out could hurt, but you could build that out of the deal. The Verlander situation is the same thing to a smaller scale.
Sterling Mallory Chris Archer
1:04
Stanton prob wasn't claimed because no owner has that big of a contract baked into their payroll.  It would take a while to refigure out the future of the franchise right? It'd be like going on vacation, seeing a Bentley and just buying it on the spot.
Eno Sarris
1:04
This is maybe why he'll get traded in the offseason. Easier to clear way for that contract then then now.
Big Tuna

What's the best way to make up ground in ratios this late in the season?
Eno Sarris
1:05
Pick the one your'e closest in and make a radical change to your lineup.
Oddball Herrera
1:05
Pirates at this point basically have to try Glasnow again in the majors soon, right?  At some point you need to let your player stop embarrassing AAA hitters and see if he sinks/swims in the majors once and for all.  May as well do it during a lost season rather than risk losing games that may mean something next year
Eno Sarris
1:05
Yes, for sure

MLB Managers
1:07
Why do people think we make a major impact in W/L.  When it's clear the impact is very small compaired to other sports.
Eno Sarris
1:07
I would estimate like 2-3 wins at most.

Re: Orioles - heard Showalter has guys throw sidearm before cutting them
Eno Sarris
1:08
oh and try a knuckler while you're out there
Sonny

Re: grading managers, is it possible to define how much longer a bad manager holds their job based on how symmetrical their face is or how many boxes on the traditional handsomeness chart the check?
v2micca
1:08
I've been reading more analysts talk about the advantage of a pitcher keeping his lower half more closed to prevent the batter from getting a good look at the pitch.  But, wouldn't this also limit the power they can generate from the core?  Is the additional deception worth the trade off?
Eno Sarris
1:09
There's also an injury asterisk. You can do damage to your hip labrum. Just plant your foot and mimic throwing across it and you'll feel it.
Porcho Villa
1:09
Can you expand on what you meant by your Honeywell answer? Are you saying that keeping him down until later in September lets them hold on to him longer? Aren't we well past the point in the season where that would matter?
Eno Sarris
1:09
No, just that calling him up now means losing some other asset that they have to drop off the 40 to make room for Honeywell.
Wes

If you are headed to Austin, check out Blue Owl Brewing for some good sours. Close to Rainey.
Eno Sarris
1:10
Love their sours! oh and there's a place with mediocre pizza but great hazy ipas.. forget the name.
Sonny
1:10
Cool to bail on Cotton in '17? Keep on the radar for 18 drafts?
Eno Sarris
1:10
Yeah. I'm not sure what he needs to do -- he's still interesting with above-average whiff rates on three pitches -- but he needs to figure something out on balls in play.

mind. blown. (I have put everything -- including the sweet potatoes -- back on bread the next day)

Austin Pruitt, yea or nay?
Eno Sarris

eh

Imagine that Minor League baseball significantly raised the salaries of all High A, AA, and AAA players to the point where guys with a replacement level ceiling would willingly stay in the game until their late 30's not because they were still chasing the MLB dream, but simply because it payed well.     Do you see more positive or negative from this scenario?
Eno Sarris
1:14
Positive, though there may be some unintended consequences. Positives: your local minor league game gets better. Negatives: that may put pressure on local minor league team to win, and put some pressure on winning over development. But the prime directive is this: these people deserved to get a living wage. The rest is prologue.
Roark
1:14
Is Roark worth owning for qs and w now that rainouts changed his schedule slightly and no harper? He was originally lined up to face a couple of weak teams like SD and Phillies (2). Would you rather stream in a 10 teamer?
Eno Sarris
1:14
Streamer.
