I have begun the process of petitioning the USA to change the observed name of "Thursday" to "Enoday". Will update on my progress.

Yesterday Dave said Devers has the chance to be the best hitter on baseball and made a Freeman type comparison. Average there, power eventually comes. Similar feel for you?
Eno Sarris
12:16
Here's the absolutely nutso thing about Devers: he hasn't even begun to pull the ball yet, and he's murdering it. Seriously, he pulled more than twice as often in the minors, came up, saw everyone was pitching him away, shrugged, and hit bombs. Dude has extreme feel for hitting and is already pushing the upper bounds of my outsized love for him in the preseason. I've seen a few managers put Devers out there, maybe they think they're selling high, but oh man this is not a .250 hitter like ZiPs says. I'll say the .282/.330/.462 from steamer is too light on the power. So we're talking special.

What do you think about the benefit of rotating in a bunch of replaceable starters with funky/deceptive motions? Has any research been done on guys with standard vs. unique deliveries?
Eno Sarris
12:18
We know that knuckleballers have a hangover effect, and Barry Bonds said on the TV the other day that other 'specialists' did the same thing. I'm thinking we define specialists as top or bottom 10% in arm slot, and any pitcher that throws a non fastball/non cutter over 40% of the time, and see if we can find a hangover effect there.

Do you think it's worth it for me to fly out to first pitch forums? .... What do you set the over/under at for guys offering to buy you a beer?
Eno Sarris
12:18
Yah the AFL is the best way to see tomorrow's stars, a weekend of talking about baseball is fun as heck, and nobody gets to offer me a beer because I usually curate the hell out of at least one of the nights with a half flown-in half found beer selection.

Which pitcher has the best stuff?
Eno Sarris
12:19
Sometimes I think it's someone like Carrasco or Salazar. Definitions say their pitches are Nasteh at least. Kershaw has great stuff, but elite command. Greinke more like him. Scherzer elite stuff, probably he has the best stuff.

Has it even been proven why the juiced ball doesnt affect power hitters as much? Am I supposed to believe that Freddy Galvais hits more warning track shots than Kris Bryant?
Eno Sarris
12:21
I think it makes a little sense if you look at spray charts. There's a connect/soft connect disparity in almost every spray chart, a long fly ball and then the line drive/short fly ball blobs, usually a little separate. So if you Stanton, the long fly ball blob is already naturally further out and there's less to gain from it?

Hey Eno, how do you have so many ingredients for sandwiches?  It seems like a lot of that stuff should be expiring considering your variety day-to-day and your traveling.  I'm jealous and want to start mixing up my sandwich game

I usually do the buying for the household and maintain that s.
Matt

I am and have been bullish on Greg Bird's ability, but having followed him for a few years, I've admittedly become a bit jaded in my confidence in his health. Sure, he had some health issues early in his career, but his two major MLB injuries were a torn rotator cuff, and a mis-(un?)-diagnosed injury from a foul ball that probably could have been resolved in a more timely manner. Should I temper my jadedness?
Eno Sarris
12:23
I guess so, he said with a sigh. Could just be timing, though. Teixeira had these exact same problems, just at different times in his career.

Why is Brent Honeywell not pitching for the Rays?
Eno Sarris
12:24
I don't see him on the 40-man so you'd have to drop someone even to spot him.

You say the Sour Sisters are easy finds in the northeast, but alls I see from Goose Island is their boring stuff. Is NJ not northeast enough?
Eno Sarris
12:25
Sours generally are not easy to find, so I guess I should have qualified that statement. They aren't super easy, but if you tried another bottle shop, you might find em. Do you see any sours where you look?

Is it just me is does Eloy Jimenez kinda like Jorge Soler 2014 as a prospect? Prodigious power but otherwise average to below average tools (except for Soler's 60-70 grade arm). Heck, they're even built similar! Eloy is 6-4/205 and Soler was 6-4/215!
Eno Sarris
12:26
Eloy is a little less wooden, I'd say. I've seen him go oppo more often and also make more athletic catches. I'd say Soler is Eloy's floor, but his ceiling is higher.

Eno! Good morning young man.  How many years until the As are no longer hot garbage?
Eno Sarris
12:27
Three? Two? I see something I like in Chapman, Olson, Pinder, Healy, Mateo, Fowler. Let's see what pitching they find.
Keith Hernandez
12:27
Should the Marlins consider flipping Stanton this offseason?  Maybe put something together with the Cardinals involving Alex Reyes?  This might be the highest his stock gets.
Eno Sarris
12:27
Yeah probably. I had a long discussion about this on twitter the other day. Let me put up a poll about this before I poison the waters with my opinion.

getting a box containing King Sue tomorrow. Have you tried it? Is it actually *that* good? I love pseudo, so expectations are high
Eno Sarris
12:29
never had it, but part of why pseudo Sue is so good is because is so mellow/crisp, so it could ruin it. I'm not SURE that King Julius is better than Julius, myself.

For the love of god, is someone writing an article now about what the Mets did with Cabrera and d'Arnaud last night?
Eno Sarris
12:30
That was really fun. It reminded me of the idea of switching Michael Morse and Hunter Pence depending on who was at the plate.

What kind of contract do you see Duda getting this offseason? He seems to be at that awkward point of exiting his prime and having questionable abilities on defense.
Eno Sarris
12:30
Him and Yonder will be fascinating studies, but I think we learned from past corner guys in recent market that it won't be a big deal.

Can Lamet succeed as a starter with only two pitches?
