Garcia did not get results like this like this in Philly, LA and tex. What was the adjustment?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:46
Throwing harder than ever before at age 34?

Have bad trade offers that teams have deemed insulting impacted said their willingness to negotiate future trades with that team?
Kevin Goldstein
10:46
Not really. You take every call....
Nicklaus Gaut
10:47
But how many are from Jerry DiPoto?
Lzfreak
10:47
Do actual trade negotiations ever end with one side hanging up dramatically?
Kevin Goldstein
10:47
Nah. Mean no = "I don't think that's something we would consider." Nice no = "I don't think we'd do that, but I'll take it to the group."
Nicklaus Gaut
10:48
Are offers ever so bad that you can't even manage the mean no?
Ultimate Jake Cave Fan

Do you guys think super-UTL guys like Kike Hernandez are undervalued by the industry?
Kevin Goldstein
10:48
I think they're undervalued by fans....

Have you ever got a trade offer that just makes you groan at how dumb it seemed
Kevin Goldstein
10:49
Oh yeah.
Nicklaus Gaut
10:49
I'm a sucker for a good super-UTL

Do catchers get checked for spider tack?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:50
hmmmmmm
Shodai

Since I assume you wouldn't out the team that made the offer- what was the "ask" in the worst deal you were ever pitched?
Kevin Goldstein
10:51
A future star at Triple-A for a damn good player entering his walk year.
Eric A Longenhagen
10:51
I put a 4 on Carlson's arm as a prospect fwiw

Houston > Washington > St. Louis in the Luis Garcia trade value power rankings?
Nicklaus Gaut
10:51
This is correct. But I'm not counting out Washington's Luis Garcia because he's still just 21 even though he seems like he should be 25.
Eric A Longenhagen
10:53
Sweat really flowing out of Garcia's freshly-shaven head. shoulda been Yadi's ball but w/e they got it done
Kevin Goldstein
10:53
I was absolutely positive that they were going to screw that play up.

“No one hits high velocity better than Will Smith” - can’t be true
Nicklaus Gaut
10:54
"No one fights giant, metal spiders better than Will Smith." - definately is

What are the chances the guy in the seats with the white beret and circle glasses is in the music, film or entertainment industry?
Nicklaus Gaut
10:54
You had me at beret.
Kevin Goldstein
10:54
To be fair, Will Smith crushes fastballs....

10:55
Do you view Carlson's arm as better now or are the OA numbers deceiving?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:56
It's possible for it to be both. I do think players with worse arms are more likely to be run on and therefore have more opportunities to throw someone out.
Kevin Goldstein
10:55
Double Switch here. Pollock out, Taylor in.
DBRuns
10:56
When can we ditch OPS in place of wOBA on mlb broadcasts?
Nicklaus Gaut
10:56
Tango burner?
But also, yes please.
Jeremy

Dodgers hoping for 6 outs from Treinen?
Kevin Goldstein
10:58
If he earns it this inning, I think so.
Jeremy
10:58
Now I want a Will Smith/Will Smith joke contest.
Eric A Longenhagen
10:58
Treinen's slider is the nastiest-looking pitch in baseball
Nicklaus Gaut
10:58
Or a Will Smith/Luis Garcia Survivor Series match.
Marlin Child

My understanding is that OAA doesn’t include arm ratings, right?
