Dave was real real down on Rosario yesterday. Everybody agrees that he needs to cut down on the Ks and take some walks, but do you see a lot of red flags like Dave does? Or just a 20 year old with under 100 PAs in the majors?
Eno Sarris
12:40
The other red flag is all the ground balls. but I'm willing to say he'll make more contact in the future and is excited to show what he can do right now.

I have never liked pumpkin beers, and now my taste buds appear to be rejecting even Oktoberfest beers. Rough seasonals for me I guess!
Eno Sarris
12:40
Just head towards winter's stouts.

bbref war has Gio Gonzalez as the most valuable pitcher in the league this year. That's not defensible, is it?
Eno Sarris
12:41
I was going to write about how Gio's strikeout rate has stayed the same while the league's has gotten better around him. He's almost exactly average when it comes to most peripherals...
Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe
12:42
What ballpark factors play most into baseball statistics? The elevation at Coors? The Monster at Fenway? The wind in Chicago? The roof at Tropicana?
Eno Sarris
12:42
Temperature and altitude. Just happens that most ballparks are at similar altitudes.
Jay
12:42
If they ever "un-juice" the ball and teams start playing 4 outfielders, won't pendulum swing back to being OK with contact on the ground?
Eno Sarris
12:42
Yeah I think so. 50% fly balls used to be super risky.
Moltar
12:43
Some other Dutch beer highlights from the craft beer fest I went to: Kees, Oersop, De Kromme Haring, Outlanders, and brouwerij 't IJ. Seriously, Amsterdam is great for craft beers!

Jorge Polanco has been worth 1.1 WAR the past two weeks.  He has been worth 0.9 WAR all season.   WTF ?!!?!?
Eno Sarris
12:43
WAR is a counting stat but you can also be negative, so if that's what you're asking it still makes sense.

Recently thinking of switching my go-to turkey, bacon, gouda, horseradish and arugula sandwich from standard wheat bread to toasted blueberry bread... yay or nay?
Eno Sarris
12:43
Do it once. We all need to try something different from time to time.
Vinicius
12:44
Can Bubba Starling provide Lorenzo's Cain value?
Eno Sarris
12:44
Had to check to see if he made a huge change to his game or something. More contact recently but no, I don't think so. Bet it's Burns mostly.
12:45
(and a big drop off to Burns as well)
Slapshot

Guy in my ottoneu league just traded a bunch of prospects for Sale and Trea Turner.  I'm in a fight with him for first.  I get back Lester, Correa, Altherr, and Contreras either this weekend or early next week from the DL.  Do I need to make another move or do my DL returns give me enough of a boost?
Eno Sarris
12:45
Hang tight.
Catt Marpenter
12:46
Do teams intentionally keep guys under the rookie limits so they can compete for ROTY next year?
Eno Sarris
12:46
*so that they can own their rights for longer.
Orange Whips

Beavertown Brewery in London is solid. They have a solid BBBQ spot there, too.
Lyles
12:47
Besides Mazara, do you have a couple post-hype sleepers for next year?
Eno Sarris
12:47
I like JP Crawford more than projections/people.
Bob
12:47
Does Mazara still project to be a first-division corner OF (given his age) or will he more like end up league average?
Eno Sarris
12:47
Yeah still like him for more than that.

12:47
Which teams in your opinion should get verlander? I'm guessing Houston and the Angels?
Eno Sarris
12:47
Houston came to mind immediately.
Nelson
12:48
Aside from his age, what do you see in Mazara to make you think hes gonna be a star?
Eno Sarris
12:49
Two strike approach. Improving patience. Great park for him to continue to develop his power. Could have a .200 ISO / 10% BB / 18% K season soon, which should produce a great average and 25 homers or so. With a good lineup, that's great fantasy numbers. Real life, I still see enough athleticism to also improve on iffy d numbers.
Bubbles

Dallas Keuchel was purposefully bad yesterday to try and get owners to buy tonight.... right?
Eno Sarris
12:49
Delicious. Just drink it all up.
Orange Whips
12:50
Single hopped with Nelson? So it just tastes like white wine? Any examples?
Eno Sarris
12:50
Alpine Nelson does it, but it's hard to find that these days. I'll think about it.
Wally Zerbiak

I think youre overreacting to Conforto health. It's essentially a torn labrum that came form a dislocation, not from a repetitive event, as most labrum's tear do. It's surgery that will have him throwing 3 months out, and back to normalcy in 6 months.
Eno Sarris
12:51
Could be. I saw something about his anterior capsule being in play as well, which kills pitchers. I know he's a hitter, but this is fairly traumatic.
Bruce
12:51
If I ever get pregnant, can I take my 100% BA stouts, boil them to get rid of the alcohol, refregerate, then put them in my sodastream to add carbonation, and have an 0% BA Stout?
Eno Sarris
12:51
I think that might taste disgusting.
