Two questions - is Skenes likely to go to the Washington Nationals and are there any board games on the ratification of the 19th Amendment that you can recommend?
Keith Law
1:46
That seems like a plug for Votes for Women!

Thoughts on Daniel Lynch going forward?
Keith Law
1:47
He hasn't looked like the same guy this year. Velocity down, fastball was always too true but it's even more so now and it looks like his breaking pitches have backed up too.

Hi Keith, have you dug into what's going on with Spencer Strider his last few starts?
Keith Law
1:48
Nope, sorry.

Who do the pirates take #1 overall?
Keith Law
1:48
I had them taking Crews in my last mock and I'll have another one up next week.

Are the Cubs doing things right? Entering the 3rd year of a sell off is excruciating from a fans perspective
Keith Law
1:48
In general, yes.

How is the college process going?  Any suggestions for a parent?  Not looking forward to this.
Keith Law
1:50
It's certainly overwhelming. There's too much information out there and I know I am not well-equipped to process it all. We're lucky that my daughter has a counselor at her school who is an expert and is helping guide us through the process - I can see now why parents pay for that kind of service.

I love watching Bobby Miller pitch and I re-read your LAD prospect writeup in February and found it to be very accurate.  It’s interesting to me that his performance has improved since being promoted, against some good competition too.  Do you think this is because of better pitch sequencing, an adjustment to the slider, and the early shoulder injury affecting him in AAA?  4 starts is not the biggest sample size but do you think he’ll continue to pitch at this level for the rest of the season?
Keith Law
1:50
The safe bet is to say he'll regress somewhat the rest of the season because he's been so good. I also think the environment in AAA is so different now for several reasons that the stat lines there are less reliable than ever.

Thoughts on Carson Whisenhunt, starter or reliever?
Keith Law

Starter.

Would you be interested in replacing Padma?
Keith Law
1:51
Did she step down?

Have you checked your fridge lately?  Is your milk, ketchup, and mustard, and eggs woke?  Seriously, my head explodes knowing that there are about 50% of people who think this is a major concern.

I regret to announce that (checks notes) Organic Valley has fallen.

Care to share your opinion on the recent layoffs at The Athletic?
Keith Law

Really?

Wyatt Langford Question: if he's really that good a CF, why wasn't he playing there full time all season?  Why is he playing a corner so Florida can give the majority of its CF innings to a redshirt freshman hitting .230?
Keith Law
1:52
He's not that good a CF and don't believe anyone claiming the contrary. The hope is some pro coach(es) can help him become a CF, given his speed, but he's not a good CF right now.

The Twins continue to bench or pinch hit Alex Kirilloff against LH ... He's never had poor splits and has probably been the best bat on the roster all year. Kyle Garlick doesnt deserve ABs over him due to splits. Any idea what they are doing ???
Keith Law
1:52
It's disappointing - he's old enough now to just let him play every day.
Carl

Have we seen enough from Nick Yorke this year to say he's back on track?
Keith Law
1:52
Absolutely.
Drew

Has Chase Hampton jumped Warren in prospect status? He seems to have some real helium.
Keith Law
1:52
I think he's probably their best SP prospect now.
Noah

Does Moises Ballesteros have a chance to catch in the majors? His future outlook?
Keith Law
1:53
He can hit, but that body is going to make it very, very tough for him to stay anywhere on the field.

Soccer has for years been dealing with sovereign wealth fund ownership, and now golf (the sport) is practically owner by sovereign wealth.  To this point, the major American sports have avoided this.  With team prices continuing to increase, do you think it is inevitable?  Hope not.
Keith Law
1:53
I do.
Chris

Just reading Chase Hampton has been moved to AA, thoughts on him?
Keith Law

Saw him in May and wrote him up here: https://klaw.me/42co3ih

Will Encarnation Strand be in your mid season top 50?
Keith Law

No.

Elly DLC came in firing on all cyclinders, but was cooled off by Royals pitching???  What are your thoughts on his start?
Keith Law
1:54
Contact is going to be an issue for him for a while - he got to the majors really fast, and I think there's going to be a lot of adjustments going forward to pitch types & locations. He's aggressive because he's so talented but MLB pitchers can take advantage of that.
