Cargo goes off part of August all of last September after seeing a sleep therapist and changing his grip. Do you think that bodes well for 2018 even outside of Coors?
Eno Sarris
1:13
Here's an interesting 'huh' -- both he and Bruce are basically projected to be worth a win. He'll go for less than Bruce because last year is more important than the years before and also because we pay too close attention to last year, but I'm coming around on the idea of signing CarGo to a pillow contract.

IPA freshness, how long after bottling does it lose it's freshness? Any tips for bottles that don't have a bottled date on them?
Eno Sarris
1:15
Three months is fine, you want closer, especially for NEIPA, but three months is okay. I try not to buy ones without dates, but if I do, I look for two things: dust/velocity (are there a lot of bottles behind it, has it been there for a while, is it on the shelf vs in the cooler) and release dates (some beers are limited releases and couldn't have come out a long time ago).

The feeling over here in Red Sox territory is that the Red Sox suck and are awful - which baffles me.
Eno Sarris
1:15
They won 93 and needed power and power is the easiest thing to buy right now.

Hey Eno, it's my 23rd birthday today.  Any recs for a birthday beer, upstate NY (vicinity of Albany/Schnectady/Troy) to celebrate?
Eno Sarris
1:19
Gotta go get a whiskey barrel aged porter from Brown's! Happy birthday!!

Why are players using their agent's shower?
Eno Sarris
1:20
More and more often, agents are now required to be full service -- they're doing analytics and player development more now. I didn't know that meant showering at their place, but it's a brand new world.

If I can't write for The Athletic, how can I become an Athletic supporter?
Eno Sarris
1:21
Like... a jock strap? Sorry sorry sorry. sorry. Uh, not sure what you mean. You can subscribe! I think they'll be rolling out more baseball ideas this year as they get going.

Sandiches don't always require a sauce, adam. It depends on what's in the sandwich. You telling me you need to put a sauce on egg salad or tuna salad? Get in the game, bro.
Eno Sarris
1:21
hot sauce.

I can't help but fall in love with the Calhoun and Olson projections.
Eno Sarris
1:22
Popups are an interesting asterisk, but I'm not sure I'm all that worried, particularly if I can get them for cheap.

Work conference in Orlando (not Disney) any beer recommendations?   I don't hear much about Orlando beers, worse case is I seek out some jai alai
Eno Sarris
1:23
Just had some good stuff from Crooked Can while I was down there! Try to find Funky Buddha too

Bottom of the chat it shows a blurb about you. It has a mistake.

"@enosarris if you can handle the sandwiches and inanity."
Eno Sarris
1:24
inanity: lack of sense or meaning; silliness.
tacopocket

why is everyone panicking about how to handle otani?  Why wouldn't they just give him dual eligibility with pitcher being one of those positions.   when you play him as a pitcher - his hitting stats don't count...just like it's managed now.   If the issue is other pitchers not having hitter eligibility - give them DH eligibility.....who's going to use them when they don't pitch?   the idea of having 2 otanis in the draft pool is absurd.
Eno Sarris
1:25
The problem is that the player pools and scoring are handled completely separately and the larger, older platforms would require a lot of work under the hood for a guy that may not be all that playable as a hitter. The smaller platforms have an easier time making him one guy that can be played at pitcher or hitter, and for the most part, they're doing that.

Does Hanley get traded? Who would take him and what could he do?
Eno Sarris
1:26
Doubt he has any trade value.
Chico

Manny Margot improve over 2017? Are you bullish or bearish for next year and beyond?
Eno Sarris
1:27
He improved his launch angle in the second half more than almost anyone in baseball. Second I think. I think he'll go 20/20 next year.

Think Ronald Acuna breaks camp with the Braves?
Eno Sarris
1:27
No but he'll be magically ready in July

oh man it's close and that's funny

any discussion about putting a little more cash behind the Sleeper/Bust podcast? It's my bible all season but (not to harp—I truly love it and appreciate all the work you guys do) the production value could be improved. Would probably make sponsorship more likely, too, I suspect. MUCH love. Just wondering.
Eno Sarris
1:28
We brought on a producer, have you listened recently? Still some problems?

When do we see Honeywell? Is the screwball a cause for injury concern long term? Is his upside studly or more two-ish?
Eno Sarris
1:29
I think Braden would say it is an injury risk -- he said Dr Andrews said he'd never seen a shoulder like his -- but maybe the Cotton, Faria, and Honeywell don't pronate as much as Braden did. It'll be interesting to watch all three.

Did you see the Kevin Gausman is a 2018 sleeper post on another website today? Regardless, do you agree with the sentiment? The whiff rates on the splitter and slider were sexy in the second half...finally the year?
Eno Sarris
1:30
We've had a couple of those pieces, and he's starting to get so much sleeper love he might get pushed past a reasonable price. I did always think he needed a breaker and finally he might have one.

Earlier this week I slammed my knee into a bedpost.  This morning in the gym I dropped a 45 lbs weight on my foot.  Now, I'm coming down with a cold.  Is this what being a Mets Player feels like?

One time in Shreveport a few of us benchwarmers stayed out all night drinking at a sushi place next to the team hotel. Since none of us expected to play we went large. Cut to next day, game 2 of double header and we're getting dusted. All of us on the field for the last 3 innings trying to hold it down. Pop up in no mans land shallow LF and it drops between two of us sake smelling slouches. None of us vomited...on the field, and it became the most impressive performance of our college careers.
