Highest OPS at the end of the year: Trevor Story, Tyler White, or Brock Holt?

Paul Swydan

9:34

I'm going to say White.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:34

Story, Coors factor will help a tone

ton

Yossarian

Is the Shark-nado in Colorado going to obliterate my stats like a trailer park?

Paul Swydan

9:35

I'll say no.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:36

It could be rough, but I had McHugh and Greinke in the same league. I expect to be bottom half for a while in that league

Jon

9:36

Cervelli, M montero, nick hundly and others on the waiver wire? should i stick it out with russell martin? just the april blues

Paul Swydan

9:36

Yeah, I'd ride with Russell for now.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:37

Go with Martin, and it is the first 10-days blues

Lindor Truffles

Can we get an updated announcer's ranking just so the world knows that the Nats have the absolute worst TV crew in the business?

Paul Swydan

9:37

Carson has started the process!

Jeff Zimmerman

9:37

Yea Carson

Mr. Wrestling IV

9:38

Rich Hill - Is he for real? 4 of his last 6 games have been 10+ Ks and <=1 BB

Paul Swydan

9:38

He's definitely more real than Joe Kelly.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:38

Not sure if real, but don't cut him right now

Paul Swydan

9:39

As I said earlier, I do like Hill a lot.

Curtis

9:39

Besides Kawasaki, who is your favorite "terrible" player? one you just can't help but root for even though he brings little to the table every night...

Jeff Zimmerman

9:39

Bruce Chen

Paul Swydan

9:39

Kawasaki is definitely not on my list of favorite terrible players. But Franklin Morales is.

Mr. Wrestling IV

9:40

IMPORTANT - Is Joe Kelly a bridge troll?

Paul Swydan

9:40

He's so bad that he's not even good enough to be a troll. He just is terrible.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:40

Paul?

Jon

9:40

Not that he needs one, but does Vin Scully always not have a color commentator? He did the game by himself today (seems lonely).

Paul Swydan

9:40

Uh, Vin always does the game by himself.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:41

Yep

Curtis

9:41

Is there a list of all the batter who have lost home runs by being "Robbed" at the wall? If so, any idea who leads it?

Paul Swydan

9:41

This is a great question. I'm pretty sure that there are lists kept for outfielders who have robbed home runs, but I have no idea if a corresponding batter list is kept. My guess is it would be a lot of hitters with 1 home run robbed.

But I'd still like to know!

Jeff Zimmerman

9:41

I may be able to find it out over the past 4-5 years, but nothing official

Jon

9:42

I have multiple shares of carlos gomez. Should i try and flip him? gomez? what could i get for him?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:43

I wouldn't. And like I said earlier, look for players taken around the same area of the draft. These should be similarly valued players

Paul Swydan

9:43

You're going to have to hold on to him for now.

The Dude of NY

9:43

Paul, did you get a ring?

Paul Swydan

9:44

I did, yes. I had to pay taxes on it though, which was annoying.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:44

The Dude of NY

9:44

What's the minimum velocity a pitcher needs to be successful? Is Weaver currently acting as a case study?

Paul Swydan

9:45

He might be, ya. I'd say it's something like 84-85, but let's give Weaver some time here.

With the exception being the knuckleballers, obviously.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:45

With a 3/4 delivery, probably 83 is the min. Some side armers and submariners can get away with less.
