Well I knew it was the bigger beers, thanks for the science!

Ryan Pollack

He reminds me of that tall skinny guy from the movie Road Trip. DJ Qualls

What's the spin rate on Hendrick's curve? Seems like Indians don't pick it up super well

Eno Sarris

8:52

Top 8, minimum 100.

Ryan Pollack

Or the nerdy science guy from Avatar, Joel David Moore

Why do they count strike outs vs pitchers as an actual strike out? Isn't it more of a "given"?

Eno Sarris

8:53

The best hitting pitcher of the last four years is Zack Greinke and he's 27% worse than league average. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=p&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=160&type=8&season=2016&month=0&season1=2013&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&sort=17,d

brewer's yeast is big contributor to intestinal problems....avoid bottle conditioned beers look for filtered ones if that's your deal

NL DH when?

Ryan Pollack

8:55

Let's say ... 10-15 years.

In terms of enjoyment, where does seeing a perfect changeup down and away rank for you guys?

Ryan Pollack

8:55

Pretty high. But I'm more of a curveball guy

Female MLB player when and why? (I've been watching Pitch)

Ryan Pollack

8:57

Rob Neyer and Joe Sheehan had some thoughts on this. (Rob on Twitter and Joe in his excellent newsletter). Bottom line is that no women in the college/semi-pro ranks throw hard enough to get noticed by MLB. At least none that I'm aware of

Eno Sarris

8:58

Have to think pitcher, because there have been some successful pitchers at 85-87. You'd still need to throw the knuckler 80+. Maybe 75+.

Mike D

Napoli pooped

Eno Sarris

8:58

nap nap weiner

Ryan Pollack

8:59

I've always wondered how players handle that situation. Now I know

*cue 'The More You know'*

8:59

can we get splits for pre and post poop?

Greg Golden

9:00

Yeah, unless you're Paul Baerman on my american legion team 15 years ago... Then you just poop in left field

Eno Sarris

9:00

Ryan Pollack

9:00

Y'all are automatically assuming it's a poop.

9:01

Perez gonna need to apologize to the ump, like Rizzo did

I really dislike hitters walking to first before the ump makes the call, or catchers running off the field. It's disrespectful.

9:02

Been any FG analysis of Tomlin's weird great-awful-effective again year?

Eno Sarris

9:03

Stopped throwing his fastballs, which are bad, at some point.

Flaming Knobgobbler

9:03

It's disrespectful to have a zone that wildly inconsistent too. Not like this is the World Series or anything.

9:04

I figured out who Ryan Pollack is. He's Brian McCann

Ryan Pollack

9:04

Fun Police (tm)

Eric

9:04

My girlfriend just asked me "That's his name? Jizz in hall?"

Eno Sarris

9:04

I personally call him What's Up Chisenbutt.

9:05

So nobody else gets the Lionel Richie thing with Lindor, huh

9:06

how long before MLB only allows umps with the most accurate zone calling be at home plate in the postseason?

Ryan Pollack

9:07

It's not an MLB mandate issue. Umps have a union too. Would have to be a negotiation. I don't see any incentive for umps to go down that road.

Eno Sarris

9:07

They have some sort of meritocracy that supposedly grooms the better ones but tonight uh

Joshua Northey

9:07

Is Lindor really "only going to get better"? I hate those little phrases as they really set people up to misunderstand typical aging arcs IMO.

Eno Sarris

9:07

He is pre-peak by any arc though.

Ryan Pollack

9:08

Watching Hendricks is fun, especially for an Orioles fan since we're used to pitchers with > 9% walk rates
