According to Pitch Info, Aroldis Chapman has basically only ever thrown four-seam fastballs
Oden

How riveted are you by Kilauea right now?   How focused on this should we non-vulcanologists be?
Jeff Sullivan
11:03
This is very very cool, with the unfortunate downside of likely property damage
But in a sense, that's what you get for building on or near a volcano
11:04
This general area of the volcano erupted in the 50s. It was always going to happen again
Tyler
11:04
What kind of short term value does Tim Locastro (LAD OF) have.
Jeff Sullivan
11:04
Minimal
Southern Bleacher Bum
11:04
Worried about Addison Russell. Will the OPS ever get to a productive level?
Jeff Sullivan
11:04
With his defense, a wRC+ around 85 *is* a productive level
11:05
He's making more contact without making more good contact. He's probably always going to frustrate
Billy Beane
11:05
Hey Jeff, let's assume BRett Anderson and Trevor Cahill are both moderately healthy. The A's kinda look wildcardish, right? A great offense, and a decent rotation?
Jeff Sullivan
11:05
I've liked them for a while as a WC dark horse, but then they lost both Cotton and Puk to Tommy John surgery
11:06
Anderson and Cahill might turn out to be capable replacements but I have pretty obvious concerns about the both of them
I hate Keon Broxton
11:06
Is Franchy Cordero good, or is he just Keon Broxton 2.0?
Jeff Sullivan
11:07
Franchy Cordero is 23. When Keon Broxton was 23, he was slugging .359 in Double-A for the Diamondbacks
Derek
11:07
What kind of StatCast data is available to teams that isn't available to the general public?
Jeff Sullivan
11:07
Everything
The teams get everything
Turgid
11:08
Is lil' Marco Gonzales a good pitcher now?
Jeff Sullivan
11:08
I think he's a fine pitcher. Good is still too strong
All right, I need to get rolling
So thank you everybody for hanging out, and I'm sorry for what I didn't or couldn't address. We'll do it again next week at the same time, and until then, be well and have great days
