That's a pretty big drop from 92.1 mph last season but it's early
(We have to use the early disclaimer for at least the next month)

Is the Philly media and fanbase the worst possible place for a manager like Gabe Kapler?
Travis Sawchik
12:36
Hey, Lou, I like a lot of the Philly media folks ...but the fans booed Santa so analytics is going to have an uphill battle when it fails

What did you think of that Dee Gordon bomb last night? Dude had three dingers this spring and has been working with Griffey the kid.

Percent chance he hits 10 homers this year?
Travis Sawchik

12:38
Shoot that didn't capture Jeff's split screen with the Griffey finish ...
I have Gordon at under ... but I am encouraged by his early defense in CF. I think he can be a difference maker out there with some more experience

What was your favorite Opening Weekend home run?
Travis Sawchik
12:38
Stanton's 117 mph oppo shot
12:39
Can't wait to see what he does in a full season at new Yankee
he can break his bat and hit balls out to RCF there

Mitch Haniger looks awesome when healthy. Is he always going to be on the cusp of a DL stint or are his past injuries just bad luck?
Travis Sawchik
12:40
He looked great this weekend. Though, facing Tyler Olson's arm slot and left-handedness is pretty favorable for him

The most surprising player to hit 30 homers this year will be...
Travis Sawchik
12:40
Eric Hosmer

12:41
I'm curious about Brandon Drury
12:42
In part because of ballpark
Basically just find a list of swing-changers and go down the list
Jeff Mathis would be most surprising
Or Dee Gordon

I like Tyler Mahle but he has a rough first matchup. What does his outlook look like for the season?
Travis Sawchik
12:43
I like Mahle to become a quality mid-rotation piece ... but maybe not this April
Gotta like having command of four pitches
Cincy is so brutal to pitch in
Most concerning are his recent milb GB% which have been around 40

Should MLB send out an official memo that it is okay to bunt at anytime, no matter the inning or score?
Travis Sawchik
12:44
Or
when fielding four outfielders

I think Detroit's offense is going to surprise a lot of people (healthier Miggy and improving youngsters), but oh man that pitching...
Travis Sawchik
12:45
Miggy looks healthy. But it's going to be a long year in Detroit
A long five years

Played chicken at SS in deep pts lg: options are Marte, Duffy, Beckham, Swanson, Kike, Solarte, Ahmed, and once he is eligible - Ed Escobar. Who would you snag?
Travis Sawchik
12:45
I like Solarte
He should offer position versatility, too
Marcus Banks
12:46
Luis Severino is the best pitcher in NYC.
Travis Sawchik
12:46
Good talk show debate

Enough with the "Philly Booed Santa Claus". That was one game in 1968. Was so long ago Mickey Mantle was still playing. How about harshing on Cleveland fans for 10 cent beer night or the disco demolition game in Chicago?
Travis Sawchik
12:47
Fair. How about the Michael Irvin injury?
