Any idea if Ashe Russell will come back with the Royals?
Keith Law
3:19
He had the yips. Few if any come back from that.

Saw your earlier response re Darvish going to the DL and was wondering if you thought more teams do this than is noticed and if it was something you would consider as a GM?
Keith Law
3:19
If it's allowed you'd be remiss if you didn't utilize it.
Jake

Luke Weaver, can he keep posting a 3.18 FIP.  Asking for a friend...
Keith Law
3:19
Bet the over.

Touki has made 8 or so great starts with better control. Figured something out or too soon?
Keith Law
3:19
I've heard good things. Athletic with a good delivery; no physical reason he couldn't find control.

Does Ian Anderson need a Jethro Tull referenced nickname?  Aqualung doesn't seem too flattering.  Maybe Locomotive Breath.
Keith Law
3:20
I worked that into one of my capsules on him. What if he posts an ERA of zero to the power of ten?
Will
3:20
Will the braves call up Louis Gohara in Sept.? Does he have a third pitch that can be average in the bigs?
Keith Law
3:20
He has to go on the 40-man so I think he'll be up next month.
Franc

Keon Broxton never seemed to be on your radar (from what I could tell); he's been up and down this year (literally), but what's your thought on him?
Keith Law
3:21
Up and down guy is about what I've had on him. Athletic without enough of an approach to be more than that.
Bryce Harper

Mets broadcasters gave you a shout out for your tools articles but wondered why Lagares wasn't mentioned for arm. Injuries/playing time? Same for Thor and the fastball category?
Keith Law
3:22
Lagares' arm doesn't make the cut. Thor was because he's been out with injury - didn't seem fair to consider him and just assume he'll be exactly what he was when he returns (he'll be fine in time, I'm sure). Very kind of the Mets' announcers to mention me.
Scott
3:22
Do you have any interest in the "fight" Saturday?
Keith Law
3:23
Hell no. And has anyone asked the Killers why they took money to promote that domestic abuser?
Bobbo
3:23
Do you still play/enjoy/top-tenify base Dominion and Intrigue?  the 83rd expansion, Nocturne, is slated to come out q4 this year - interested?
Keith Law
3:23
Don't play much any more. Great game, but I got expansion fatigue.

Thoughts on the Robert Lee story?
Keith Law
3:24
Read Will Leitch's piece today on Sports on Earth. I thought he did a superb job.
Henry
3:24
You may not be able to comment, but ESPN blew the whole Robert Lee thing out of proportion. The game would have been seen by about 30,000 people on TV. All of the memes or internet jokes people made about him would have been forgotten by the time Alabama and Florida State kicked off their game later in the evening.
Keith Law
3:25
I wasn't involved in any way, shape, or form in this, but I can say that if I were Lee in that situation, I would have been legitimately concerned about getting caught up in that storm. It's not fun to be the center of attention for the wrong reasons.
George
3:25
Given you don't have much experience playing baseball, how have you learned to scout and judge peoples mechanics?
Keith Law
3:25
I have no experience playing baseball. I've spent a lot of time with scouts and execs who were kind enough to teach me and/or answer my questions, and I've been seeing players for 12-13 years now too.

You have made a lot of Homestar Runner references (including this chat) but I have never seen it. Is it worth going back to watch now, or is it one of those "certain time and place" type things?
Keith Law
3:26
It's goofy but timeless. We introduced our daughter to it and she's in on the gags too.
3:27
OK, that's a long one but I'm going to end the chat here. Thanks so much for all your questions and for reading. It was great to meet many of you at GenCon as well. I'll be back next Thursday for another chat.
