And I really like the Dbacks
I like they way Gray has been pitching, who doesnt'?

Tyler Glasnow is out of options after 2018. Do you think that this is a make or break year for him, or is he probably going to be another AAAA pitcher? Supposedly pitching out of the stretch helped his consistency (at least at AAA) but he seemed even worse this time around when he was recalled.

Next year is pretty crucial for Glasnow. I do think he made some progress at 3A, but he's gotta figure it out at ML level eventually. Clock is ticking

June 2019

Given that DC is a cursed sports town.  How will the Nationals lose this one?  Max doesn't pitch?  Harper goes 0-16?  Stras gets dehydrated?  Bad Gio shows up?

I'm ready for the bad news....

I got the Nats in the NLCS
Harper looked pretty good yesterday. Timing looked better. And he stole a base! I'm assuming Scherzer's hammy was more precautionary than anything

Should Mariano Rivera come out of retirement and Close for the yankees? I bet you he could still saw bats with an 88 mph cutter with pin point command
Travis Sawchik

What would Rivera's top velo be right now? I'm gonna say like 84

After how many PA in the majors do you think teams should give up on a prospect? I'm guessing it would depend on his perceived ceiling?
Travis Sawchik

1500?

Feels so weird to go from 35+ rosters back down to 25 for the playoffs. It's a whole different ballgame! Should MLB limit September roster expansion to, say, 30?
Travis Sawchik
1:06
Yeah, something needs to be done to reduce Sept rosters. I'd like to see rosters expanded to 26 year round with a Sept limit of 30 or so

First 2 Astros / Red Sox ALDS games are in the early afternoon; why not make at least ONE of them prime time? Seems a bit harsh to me...
Travis Sawchik

Boston not in prime time? Interesting

What is going to happen to me this offseason?  Will I be on the Mets opening day 2018?
Travis Sawchik
1:06
I don't think Mets will sell low or non-tender

PREDICTION TIME: Where does Arrieta land?
Travis Sawchik
1:07
That's a great question. I think it will not be in Chicago

Dodgers looking to go with Hill over Darvish in Game 2, good move?
Travis Sawchik
1:07
There's not a bad option there. Hill has been pitching really well

The resources available for the Orioles to sell are so much less than a year ago.  It's going to be bad.
Travis Sawchik
1:08
Better to be a year too early than a year too late when selling

Just announced that Coppy is resigning and that he was being investigated by the MLB, whats your impulse reaction?
Travis Sawchik

I don't have one ... Need to learn more about what happened

If there are 4 divisions, why a WC?  4 divs of 4, 1 seed faces 4 seed, 2 v 3, winners play for pennant.
Travis Sawchik

What about the 102-win team that finishes in second place?

Thoughts on Yankees build? Feel like they should get past Twins, but that Cleveland buzzsaw. How well do they match up?
Travis Sawchik
1:11
That's going to be a great series. Think the Indians have an edge, but could be a seven-game ALCS

Say Severino has to leave early in the game due to injury or performance but Yanks have 1 run lead. In what order do you use each Yankees reliever? And for how long?
Travis Sawchik
1:11
I'd bullpen the Wild Card game if I were the Yankees
