Bobby Bradley's 40-time
1:46
Recently got into cooking as I moved into a place with my girlfriend. Got the Anova sous vide you rec, food processor, few books, etc. Any go-to meals that you family loves? Preferably something not remarkably hard.
Keith Law
1:46
The sous vide chicken thighs on serious eats are a huge hit here.

Do you think the Miller deal was a reasonable gamble for the Cardinals or an overpay?
Keith Law
1:47
Good gamble for them.

you have about 6 weeks to get in the best shape of your life before spring training starts. Kidding aside, how much are you praying Bartolo signs this winter so there is still one MLBer older than you?
Keith Law
1:47
He's fun. I definitely want him in MLB as long as he can hack it.

Follow-up to the labor union thing. I think you're absolutely right re: PA aligning publicly with other unions to show power of organized labor. I think movie actors ought to as well - and some have, like John Goodman stumping against Right to Work laws in Missouri this past summer. If unionized athletes and entertainers would take more of a vocal role, it would go a long way towards winning a PR war.
And hey, the MLBPA should want the piano tuners to argue against the MLB luxury tax.
Keith Law
1:49
The MLBPA - I think this is true of the NFL too - has long positioned itself as a union apart from others, and it's easy to see why since they are arguing over a different magnitude of pay than just about every other union. The principles at stake are the same, however, and they've relinquished the most obvious source of public support for their efforts as a result.

Kristian Robinson in Dbacks system - anyone being hyped more right now from someone that was not close to top 100 last year?
Keith Law
1:49
Wasn't he my sleeper for them last year? He's a guy for sure. I love Chisholm, who's almost certainly going to be on my top 100, but I know scouts who think Robinson will be better.

Is Black Panther still in the top 10 of English language films for you in 2018 (said it in your review)
Keith Law
1:50
It is 14th right now, but four films ahead of it are not in English, so yes.
RSF

Do you worry about the plastic bags used for sous vide?
Keith Law
1:51
No because there is no reason to.
James

Any concerns that Tatis Jr makes it to the majors and is limited by contact problems a la Moncada?
Keith Law
1:51
No. Different players, different swings.

Chargers were dropped against Reuben Foster, who was roundly demonized two months ago based on accusations.  I'm not sure if you commented on Foster, but I know you typically do not wait for the justice process to play out before castigating those accused of domestic violence.  Does Foster's case (or others where the accuser is lying) give you any pause?
Keith Law
1:52
I don't know who that is, but I know cases where the accuser is lying - and, by the way, charges being dropped don't mean the accuser lied - are quite rare. You are guilty of base rate neglect here.

Does David Dahl still have the upside he appeared to have as a prospect?  Possible All Star if he can just stay healthy?
Keith Law
1:52
Yes.
Bob

Aledyms Diaz a cheaper Marwin for Houston?
Keith Law
1:52
Cheaper but not as good.
Archie
1:52
Would raising the strike zone and going back to a "normal" ball start to get us back to where balls are being put into play, but not always ending up in the seats when they are?
Keith Law
1:52
I have some hope it would.
Cash

Who is the nicest mlb player you have ever met?
Keith Law
1:52
Tough call - I've liked most of the players I've interacted with over the years. Archie Bradley comes to mind though. He certainly was the most enthusiastic I've ever met.
AZ

Favorite restaurant in Scottsdale?
Keith Law
1:53
FnB.
Rich

Is bo bichette a 2b long term?
Keith Law
1:53
That is my guess.
Bob

Are you ready to place some NFL playoff parlays at Stanley's? I'm happy to buy you a beer and show you the ropes (on how to donate your money to the state of DE).
Keith Law
1:53
Are they taking bets there now too? good lord.
I don't gamble, BTW, and I get the sense you don't either.
Vinny
1:53
How do you feel about David Robertson to the Phillies?
Keith Law
1:53
Sure.
Adam
1:53
Could Acuna be the 2nd best player in MLB this year?
Keith Law
1:53
I'll say that's unlikely.
Grant
1:54
Do you think Joe Ross can be healthy enough to start?
Keith Law
1:54
I think he can be very good if healthy, but I know little more about players' health than the public does (and if I know anything more I usually can't share it).
Alex
1:54
Why do you think the Yankees are spending only 29% of their  overall revenue on their roster, the lowest in baseball? Hal clearly wants to drive in more profit, right?
