Pushed Aaron Nola all the way to 18, which made me happy. Hendricks up to 32. Called strike kings. Yordano fell out of the mixed leagues, I had no love for Happ.

Rusty

1:12

You ranked Fulmer at 68. How much is he moving up after last night? He seems to have found his changeup! People are excited, Eno!

Eno Sarris

1:13

I could push him into the bottom of the 50s.

Jay

1:13

Justin Turner hit on my gf at the bar the other night and she drunkenly called him an "ugly ginger" and rejected his trying to buy her a drink. She had no idea who he was obviously and was only moderately impressed when I told her. As a Mets fan I nearly fell over with joy

Eno Sarris

1:13

I shouldn't have shared this.

Marcus

1:13

You seem to still be high on Smyly. Are you confident he returns to form? No injury concerns here?

Eno Sarris

1:14

Movement, velocity, good. Just lots of fly balls, sometimes will be homers.

Brad

1:14

What should we make of JA Happ? The results have been good but the peripherals don't look comforting.

Eno Sarris

1:14

The rising fastball helps, but i don't believe.

Jake from state farm

1:15

Say you are named g.m of the a's. There is no concern of alienating the fan base of you rebuild. Do you rebuild? And what first 3 moves you make.

Eno Sarris

1:16

I'd trade Reddick and Hill, sure. But a full rebuild? They have Megden and Manaea and some okay bats coming. They'll be better next year, and any team over .500 has a chance in today's league.

Santino

1:16

Why can't Addison Russell and Schoop hit lefties? Am I wrong to assume that they will improve on this small sample?

Eno Sarris

1:16

just see less of them. Russell in particular is a 'learner' -- always got better when he saw a level a second time.

So I have no concern for him. Schoop? Maybe, he's a bit more flawed.

Deadpool

1:17

Name your 5 favorite pitching prospects in the minors right now. Does the lesser amount of minor league pitch data make it more difficult?

Eno Sarris

1:17

I would love to have MLB's minor league PFx data, I would.

Scott

1:18

I just saw, purchased, and tried a port barrel-aged IPA. It was predictably disgusting. Can you think of a worse sounding beer?

Eno Sarris

1:18

The Voodoo Doughnut beers from Rogue are always nasty.

Make WAR not Love

1:19

In Chicago this weekend - Cubs games + Revolution and Half Acre tours lined up. Anything else I need to do?

Eno Sarris

1:19

The Map Room, Sheffield's, and Hop Leaf are the bars you could try. I really like Piece Pizza's beers, their pizza is good, and there are good tacos at Big Star around the corner.

Scott

1:20

You know who was fun? Andres Galarraga. Prime Hall of Very Good type who gets forgotten.

Eno Sarris

1:20

Once hit a triple on a pitch out! Loved the Big Cat. Came back from cancer!

Eric

1:20

I want to package an arm to buy a bat. Of Gausman, Kennedy, Chen, who do you think I should hold? Thanks

Eno Sarris

1:21

Trade Kennedy, keep Chen. Chen gets you less and their rest of season projections aren't that different for me.

Ryan

1:21

Would you trade J Tehran for D Pomeranz

Eno Sarris

1:21

Absolutely on a per inning basis. If you concerned about injury, makes it a lot closer.

1:22

Erik

1:22

If an organization had all their low minors pitchers learn knuckleballs, how many would reach the majors? And how much would it stunt their development? Would it effective to do this with everyone outside of say the organization's top 30 prospects?

Eno Sarris

1:23

Might be too obvious to do this, but I do think 'what about a knuckler' should be a question every pitcher is asked before they are released, and at least a year before.

OddBall Herrera

1:23

Is Joc Pederson, with his apparent platoon role and the fact that he's not running, inching closer to Jay Bruce as a ceiling rather than the power/speed threat we were hoping for?

Eno Sarris

1:24

Huh. Not too far off. The thing that's tough is that this is still a good outcome for a prospect. Just not what people hoped for.

Houzer

1:24

Dee Gordon: do you anticipate he is immediately a Top 5 2nd baseman when he returns in late July? Or do you think there will be a 1-2 week re-adjustment period for him

Eno Sarris

1:24

I *think* he can play in extended spring training or get simulated at-bats at least. I wouldn't expect too much drop off.

Hector

1:25

Joe Ross is an ace. elaborate.

Eno Sarris

1:25

Doesn't have the third pitch or the strikeouts. I like him as a good two.

Alexei

1:25

I always hear a lot of praise for Stone beers, especially their IPAs, but every time I give them a try, I come away less than impressed. Am I not trying the right offerings?

Eno Sarris

1:25

My only beers I really love from them are the Enjoy By series.

B.O.B.

1:25

Do you trust Jimmy Nelson in Philly tomorrow?

Eno Sarris

1:25

Yes.

Bork

1:26

I'm completely crushing it in my 1 team league. When will Rotographs be hiring me?
