Papelbon had a historically straight FB. You can make it work
Eno Sarris
1:00
With great command and velocity!

Has Ozzie Albies been the player offensively and defensively that you expected him to be more or less?
Eno Sarris
1:00
Yes! And I'm elated.
Dooduh

You buying Stanton trade?  How do new owners come in a trade the face of the franchise esp after record breaking HR campaign??  Don't they have to take another shot with this core?
Eno Sarris
1:02
Yeah I mean they're willing to buy the team with him on the books, I don't think they sell. Don't new ownership groups want to win, or at least give impression that they're investing in the product on the field?
Bink
1:03
Man, that list just made me want to take Jerry Dipoto's phone away.
Eno Sarris
1:03
GIVE ME ALL OF THEM, wait I can't?

Starting a fantasy baseball sushi league, already have Himachi Iwakuma and Eduardo Escolar, further contributions appreciated
Eno Sarris
1:05
Could get a little weird with Mike Trout, but what about Carter Cappa
Carl
1:05
The Padres sent Renfroe down to work on his swing.  He hit the hell out of the ball in AAA and now the season is over and he's not back.   Have they totally soured on him?
Eno Sarris
1:05
Eh this is the type of team that may just want to take a look at three other guys right now to see if they're worth keeping around. Renfroe will be there next year.

Gallo and Sano have an identical strikeout rate this season, friend. It's a question of whether you prefer Gallo's much higher walk rate and iso vs. Sano's ability to hit singles I guess
Eno Sarris
1:06
So far, but projected, Gallo's is a three ticks higher, and I believe those projections.
J Baez
1:06
I've looked pretty good thus far, no?  Am I capable of hitting 30 homers and stealing 15 bags in 2018?
Eno Sarris
1:06
No on those counting stats, but yeah he's good.
John S
1:07
that's not how trademarks work.
Eno Sarris
1:07
I mean you 'can' grow it, but you have to have some sort of agreement with the trademark holder, no?

Bell's? Seriously? How many beer drinkers does it take to enjoy a Hopslam? Three. One to drink the Hopslam, and two to say, 'Last year's version was better.'

Re: Lamet - Just an interesting observation; if you compare early-career Ervin Santana and Dinelson Lamet, they are very very similar.
Eno Sarris
1:08
Santana took a leap forward when he just used the change, even though it's not a great pitch.
Anthony
1:09
When you say local breweries with brew pubs are killing vs larger 'craft' brewing operations, are you referring to revenue generated, or quality of product?
Eno Sarris
1:10
I think I meant safety of revenue and the slopes of their own revenue lines. They still growing and adding while Stone is cutting. Also, quality of product and excitement and hype goes to the smaller breweries.
1:11
yo this is my theme song

Other than Oakland, which clubhouse is the worst?
Eno Sarris
1:12
Like, physically? Because all the young kids in Oakland are hanging out just fine right now. In terms of gym/facilities and the like... Wrigley is a mess.

1:12
You answered a Hunter Renf-ROE question right the sushi league one!
Adam
1:12
With all of the batting practice that players take, why isn't there more work done to practice plate discipline? Seems strange that this important skill is only utilized in game situations.
Eno Sarris
1:13
Just talked to Tommy Pham about this. I think it's happening. Pitching machines are getting better, and you can calibrate them to throw balls, throw different pitch types, come out of a certain slot, even with a video mimicking the release on a screen around the release point.
John S

re: trademark.  sounds like they're conflating branding issues into growing issues.  a patent could prevent growing through infringement.  a trademark would only protect name.
Eno Sarris
1:14
yes I think they are actually patented.
Sam
1:14
Re: The big crafts.  Wouldn't you want them to be experimenting themselves and not being reactionary?  The best of both world I can think of is probably Green Flash, their stuff from Cellar 3 is always my cup of tea, but it's definitely always something I've never had before as a craftbeer head
Eno Sarris
1:14
Big crafts are creating the sub brands to do just this.
Mark
1:14
I got to thinking last night about Corey Kluber's curveball. I think it might be the best pitch in baseball. What do you think Eno?
Eno Sarris
1:14
Jeff just wrote about this. It always topped my lists when I made them.
Marcus Banks
1:15
Potentially some dark days ahead for The FAN. Best wishes to Boomer and the gang.
Eno Sarris
1:15
Doubt the FAN goes down with him. Carton made some bad choices, doubt he involved the radio station, but we'll see.
Anthony
1:15
Almost a double edged sword then, a victim of their own success. Enough growth begets national distribution suggestive of a well loved product. Then the once loved/hyped local becomes a larger national operation looking for ways to remain relevant!
Eno Sarris
1:15
There is something to this. It's a cycle we see in music, art, food...
