Sorry I disappeared for a minute there. I was answering a mailbag question. Anybody want to guess off the top of their head (no cheating!) who Statcast says was the most valuable player in terms of ABS challenges during spring training? You'll have to wait until the mailbag on Saturday for the answer.

Davy. Def MIL till Miz is out
Davy Andrews
4:01
Appreciate it.
Gust

But Mis is literally out of the game rihgt now, it's Ashby
Davy Andrews

Mailbag strikes again.

I would've assumed actually Quero, I'm pretty sure there was an MLB article on it? But maybe I'm hallucinating
Brian
4:03
Its a defensive stat and Bo was at the WBC so I am going with Hedgie!

I heard Quero had three ABS victories today so I'll guess him
Davy Andrews
4:03
Yeah, I assume Quero will definitely be at the top of the regular season leaderboard tomorrow!

Ben Brown added a 2-seamer in the offseason to bring up his pitch total to 3. He always seems like he's right on the cusp of turning into something, but then he's just...this. Think he ever turns into more than an MLB arm with AAAA results?
Davy Andrews
4:04
I don't think I'm done holding out hope.
Brian
4:05
Bell with the hitter lead!

Brown throws so hard! And sometimes he'll mow through three or four guys in a row and just look unstoppable. And then he throws a BP cement-mixer slider that lands a quarter-mile away.

Jon, is Chicago in the Midwest? Someone in this chat (Dan) says it's not
AvatarJon Becker

As far as the Census Bureau and probably everyone besides Dan is concerned, absolutely

Milwaukee feels far more midwesty to me than Chicago does

AvatarDan Szymborski
4:07

Dan I immediately had an imagined sense memory of a carrot-juice-based martini and now I kind of hate you.

AvatarJon Becker
