Eno Sarris Baseball Chat — 6/13/13

June 13, 2013

8:47	Eno Sarris: I’ll be here in 13!

9:02	Eno Sarris: Ok be nice to me today. I had two free hot dogs in the Oakland press box Tuesday and my stomach has been a nuclear wasteland since.

9:02	Comment From Culle Still free.

9:02	Eno Sarris: I’m paying a price.

9:02	Eno Sarris: The lyrics of the day is from one of my favorite reggae artists, but the words are strange out of context: Come, little one and let me do what I can do for you And you and you alone Come, little one, wo-oo-oo Let me do what I can do for you and you alone, woo-oo-oo

9:02	Comment From centerfield ballhawk Free Eno’s Stomach!

9:03	Eno Sarris: Something. Something Eno’s Stomach. Because I don’t want this.

9:03	Comment From Barry Looks like Gallardo was consistently hitting 93 mph in his last start…you buying a possible turnaround to SP 2-3 status, or need to see more (not vs. MIA)?

9:04	Eno Sarris: Well velo is good but the problem is that he’s moved from the 4-seamer to the 2-seamer and that’s been bad for his K% and not good enough for his GB% to make it make sense. fantasy #3? maybe.

9:04	Comment From RotoLando What do you think of this Kluber kid? Been pretty useful for fantasy.

9:04	Eno Sarris: Looks like Cwik will break him down Monday, but I like him some. He’s had homeritis and BABIPitty over much of his career, and from my twitter inquiries, the idea is that the cutter gets flat sometimes.

9:04	Comment From juan pierres mustache doesn’t matter, had hot dog

9:04	Eno Sarris: right now? never want another.

9:05	Comment From Jordan Thoughts on Parker vs Yankees today?

9:05	Eno Sarris: I started him in my leagues where I need innings or it’s a deep league. If it was shallow or I was over pace? Nah.

9:05	Comment From Guest When is it Carter Capps time?

9:05	Eno Sarris: Very soon, it’s looking like.

9:05	Comment From Dan Thoughts on Steve Staude’s post yesterday about forecasting strikeout rates?

9:06	Eno Sarris: Wrote them up on Getting Blanked today. I think it could be HUGE for daily fantasy, and of course for managers and their in-game strategy.

9:06	Comment From Froglegs Jackson Just got offered Willingham for Nava in a 7×7 (OBP + total bases are extra cats) dynasty. Should I accept?

9:06	Eno Sarris: I would. I love Compliant Pork, as Jason Woj calls him, in OBP leagues.

9:06	Comment From Kevin Logan Morrison or Peter Bourjos ROS. OBP league. No particular need for speed or power, frankly need both.

9:06	Eno Sarris: Kinda think Bourjos’ hammy problems will affect his running game. Morrison.

9:07	Comment From juan pierres mustache is it difficult to run a website when consuming the subject matter of said website causes one to be less able to run a website?

9:07	Eno Sarris: No idea what you’re talking about.

9:07	Comment From Chicago Mark Hello Eno, How do I look up old articles about players? There was an article written about Dom Brown and his home run distances. How do I find it?

9:07	Eno Sarris: If you put Dom Brown in the search box, there’s a link at the bottom of the pop-up results to ‘more blog results’ or the like.

9:07	Comment From D In general, do you like having a DL or prospect spot in Dynasty leagues?

9:07	Eno Sarris: I always want more roster spots.

9:07	Comment From Guest Desperate for catcher in AL only. Flowers, Norris, Avila or Iannetta?

9:08	Eno Sarris: Avila. Or Flowers. But Avila.

9:08	Comment From jon Reyes stopgap in 10-team w/ OPS: Aybar, Lowrie, Cozart or Franklin?

9:08	Eno Sarris: Reyes was running in SF, so it’s short term. Might as well try out Franklin.

9:08	Comment From Ivan If I were to trade machado what would be a good return? Or am I crazy for doing so

9:08	Eno Sarris: Can’t tell you who you’d get. Not crazy to trade him, his pop ups suggest he’s more of a .280 hitter.

9:08	Comment From Kevin Eno are you chatting from the toilet? Be honest.

9:09	Eno Sarris: This was posted before I told you what was going on, so Kevin must follow me on twitter, where the saga of the HOT DOGS THE DAMN HOT DOGS has been drawn out in detail.

9:09	Comment From Zack Wheeler What are you expecting from me once I make it to Queens?

9:10	Eno Sarris: I think more BB trouble than with Harvey, fewer Ks, but useful in most leagues. But not sure. Don’t look to hard at his Vegas numbers, that’s one of the worst parks in the minors.

9:10	Comment From Will chances that Springer and Singleton are called up sometime this year?

9:10	Eno Sarris: Good, considering how that team has been cycling through players. Might only be September.

9:10	Comment From wes More likely to keep it up all season? Colon, his division and his ballpark or Porcello, his curve and his terribly defense?

9:11	Eno Sarris: I think Colon won’t last for different reasons… He hit 95 on Tuesday… read between the dots.

9:11	Comment From Tacoby Bellsbury What to make of Alex Gordon? Rankings say top 20ish OF, but stats and projections point to him being nothing special. Not much change in batted ball profile … more grounders, I guess. But looks like we’ve bought 2011 as a breakout when it may well be a career year.

9:11	Eno Sarris: Fewer steals means he’s more like Nick Markakis every day.

9:11	Comment From JAL Hi Eno, thanks for the chat. Can you recommend streaming Marcum or E. Jax tomorrow, or should I pass? Thanks!

9:12	Eno Sarris: E Jax against that Mets lineup seems like a decent bet.

9:12	Comment From Jody Is Mike Morse droppable in 10-team league w/ OPS? waiting forever for him to turn it around

9:12	Eno Sarris: he’s probably not a ten-teamer even if he gets it right, not now, not in that park.

9:12

Comment From JEB
I imagine you’re going to get a lot of beergraphs questions so I’ll just ask one, this one time. Firstly I love the site and content, keep up the good work. My one peeve, its hard to read, the font looks like its something my grandma would want, and I have to keep scrolling. Any chances you might make it a bit smaller?

9:12	Eno Sarris: noted. I have gotten some really positive feed back about the look too, though.

9:13	Comment From JEB When do the Tigers finally pony up and sign a REAL closer?

9:13	Eno Sarris: Like Brian Wilson?

9:13	Comment From John Harvey for McCutchen, OPS / QS league. Who wins?

9:13	Eno Sarris: I’ll take the hitter.

9:13	Comment From Goose Eno, just offered Mike Stanton for Mark Trumbo in a league where I could keep Trumbo next year, but not Stanton (no keepers from the first four rounds of the draft). Do I take it?

9:13	Eno Sarris: Only reason not to is if you’re in a dogfight for HR and atop the league.

9:14	Comment From Jody Staff of Strasburg, Bumgarner, Cain, Shields, Colon, Porcello = good enough in 10-team with K/9 and QS instead of wins

9:14	Eno Sarris: The front four are and the back two are replaceable.

9:14	Comment From Eddie Re: Wieters. Is this it? A third tier fantasy catcher? What happened to “God?”

9:14	Eno Sarris: Projections? MLEs?

9:14	Comment From Jeff Could use 1, maybe 2 as CI/Util options down the stretch in an OPS league: Mitch Moreland / Lance Berkman / Adam Lind rest of season?

9:15	Eno Sarris: I’m fairly bullish on Lind… Berkman too. Lind playing more, younger. Definitely Moreland… maybe Lind. The new walk rate changes things a bit, and the swing changes behind it have ‘stabilized.’

9:15	Comment From JEB Does Harvey get lit up against the Cards tonight? I feel like his back problem is going to flare up and hes going to do terrible, followed by a DL stint.

9:15	Eno Sarris: These sorts of things are why I take the hitter.

9:15	Comment From Bob I am strugg with Relief in a holds/saves league. CPerez Betancourt Pestano Brothers Rosenthall Melacon. Any advice on how to grab as potential closer?

9:16	Eno Sarris: You’ve already got it figured out. Look for gas and strikeouts behind a guy that doesn’t have gas and strikeouts.

9:16	Comment From Gus Is Myers a must-stash even in 10-team? OPS counts

9:16	Eno Sarris: Not if BA counts too.

9:16

Comment From Jordan
I’m liking BeerGraphs so far. Well done. A couple thoughts though. First, can you hyperlink the beer names on the Top 100 to the untappd page for the beer or some other profile page for the beer? Second, I strongly support the idea of a regional BAR. After a quick scan of leader board, I have access to a grand total of 1 of the beers. This saddens me. A regional leader board would be helpful as well.

9:17	Eno Sarris: The leaderboards should be sortable, with more information, shortly. And I’m working on a regional replacement level. I do want to link beer names somewhere. We’ll look into this.

9:18	Comment From KB Remember about 6 weeks ago when Anthony Rizzo wasn’t terrible? Ahh,those were the days. What’s the deal?

9:18	Eno Sarris: I don’t see nothing wrong with a little Anthony Rizzo.

9:18	Comment From centerfielde ballhawk Eno, nervous about Tom Wilhemsen. Has the league figured him out?

9:18	Eno Sarris: Something’s happening. Still getting whiffs, but the K rate is waay low. Capps is definitely interesting.

9:18	Comment From the Gregorius D.I.D.(i) Erasmo Ramirez upside?

9:20	Eno Sarris: I think the projection systems are missing something here. Great whiff rate, great changeup, good control, good home park. Velo ain’t bad either. Maybe 3.5ish with a good whip and 7+k/9? Realistically, a guy you could start at home.

9:20	Comment From lowercase jeff how do i handle dickey? there seems to be no rhyme or reason to when he has good and bad starts.

9:20	Eno Sarris: Read my interview with him today? I think it means he’s hurt. I would ‘unofficially DL’ him, put him on your bench for a while.

9:20	Comment From tylersnotes dynasty philosophy question: assuming your team is already in OK shape for this year, would you rather have a contribute-now mid ceiling guy (i.e. Justin Grimm) or a high-ceiling prospect (i.e. Jonathan Gray) with a pick in the first round of a minors reserve draft?

9:21	Eno Sarris: Gray. If it’s mostly for a bench slot, put upside on your bench. You could turn him into something better than Grimm from a non-contender the day after the draft.

9:21	Comment From Scott Is Evan Gattis the 2014 opening day starter at catcher for ATL? Or is defense too much of a concern?

9:21	Eno Sarris: It kinda looks like they trust him. Not a lock, but I like it.

9:21	Comment From Maxamuz Lucas Duda Weekly Update: 1 HR 2 RBI .214/.353…He seems to be getting over his quad injury and will be heating up for the summertime and the livings easy. #ShaveJuanPierresMustacheOff

9:22	Comment From lowercase jeff cashner seems to have velocity missing on all of his pitches. do you think this is a matter of him needing to build up strength or does he maybe not have what it takes to stick as a starter?

9:22	Eno Sarris: Doing what it takes to stick. I also think the changes in his pitches is about staying healthy. Doesn’t have the upside he used to, but maybe he can stick all year.

9:22	Comment From Culle Is it time to panic yet? Just, generally?

9:22	Eno Sarris: I’ve been feeling fairly panic-y in general.

9:23	Comment From Razor Montel Jordan- This is How We Do It. Has Adam Dunn readjusted back to his 2012 self?

9:23	Eno Sarris: Um, gross lyrics of the day guess, but funny. Certainly looks like it. The thing about swing changes stabilizing is that players can still say, oh, wait, this wasn’t working, and change again.

9:24	Comment From Carlos Gomez I’m leading the league in WAR. Does that make me a General?

9:24	Comment From Tacoby Bellsbury Blind guess on lyrics … ummm … Linda Ronstadt?

9:24	Comment From Bob Loblaw Burning Spear/Marcus Garvey!

9:25	Eno Sarris: Boom, roasted, interluded.

9:25	Comment From Jordan Are you hoping that breweries will start sending you free beer to review on BeerGraphs? Was that your evil plan all along?

9:25	Eno Sarris: That wasn’t NOT my plan.

9:25	Comment From Rick Porcello So… am I finally for real?

9:25	Eno Sarris: For real as a back-end fantasy option? Maybe. I wouldn’t stick through him through too many rough starts though.

9:25	Comment From MX Strasburg an ace or living in ACE ROS?

9:25	Eno Sarris: Ace for me.

9:25	Comment From centerfield ballhawk Worried about Gerrit Cole’s “lack of strikeouts?” With his type of high octane stuff, the k’s will come… right?

9:26	Eno Sarris: Long term, you have to think he’ll figure out the sequencing to get more Ks, since he checks all the boxes.

9:26	Comment From Stuck in the Mud How long do you wait while your speed is slumping? My SB guys (Reyes, Kinsler, Melky, Aoki, DeAza, Pagan) have all simultaneously hit the skids and I’m really thinking about blowing it all up.

9:26	Eno Sarris: Speed is down everywhere. At least Reyes should help. I think it’s a decent time to sell Melky. Maybe with DeAza for a more legitimate SB threat?

9:27	Comment From Zach Best outfielder to sell: Puig, Stanton, Gomez, Chris Davis?

9:27	Eno Sarris: Puig. Hype pretty out of control right now. Adjustment probably coming.

9:27	Comment From Guest has jon niese shown enough for me to start him at home at Metco without fear? Is he healthy again?

9:27	Eno Sarris: I’m a bit nervous about him. Never thought his stuff was top echelon. I’d still spot him.

9:27	Comment From Jordan Go away other Jordan

9:28	Eno Sarris: No more feuds!

9:28	Comment From Maxamuz The other day was take your daughter to work day. The Cubs had a fun time, played a little scrimmage against their daughters. Unfortunately they lost, 15-3.

9:28	Comment From tylersnotes i had a hot dog in january that messed me up for 2 months. this is what getting old is, eno. now you know how r.a. dickey feels

9:29	Comment From the Gregorius D.I.D.(i) are you questioning the BioGenesis of Colon’s velocity?

9:29	Eno Sarris: Interlude! took a while.

9:29	Comment From Holy Cow The M’s have Ackley playing the OF in AAA and he is hitting the tar out of the ball. Do you think he’ll be called up by the Allstar game?

9:29	Eno Sarris: that team will do whatever it takes.

9:30	Eno Sarris: I mean, their management will do whatever it takes to show that they’ve developed some interesting players.

9:30	Comment From Casey Someone in my 16 team league dropped M. Montero, drop JPA for him?

9:30	Eno Sarris: I would yes.

9:30	Comment From Jordan Nobody wants the details from your saga involving toilets and hot dogs and stomachs resembling nuclear wastlands.

9:30	Eno Sarris: Wait, I take it back. I like the other Jordan better.

9:30	Comment From John Personally feel like the Wheeler hype is just coattail riding from Harvey…most project Cole to be the better rookie starter this year. Do you agree?

9:31	Eno Sarris: That’s been the long-term view, but Cole took a step back this year (statistically) without the same kind of excuse as Wheeler (park).

9:31	Comment From Chris should trade wright for machado?

9:31	Eno Sarris: No I wouldn’t do that.

9:31	Comment From Rated Rookie Think Archer stays with the big league club? What’s his ceiling?

9:32	Eno Sarris: I’m a little worried about his third pitch. The changeup is important to a fasball/slider guy, and I’ve seen some okay ones, and some bad ones. We have to see what happens with Price of course, but Archer’s upside is complicated by that pitch.

9:32	Comment From Joe What’s with Belt’s reverse splits (not that he’s horribad vs. RHP or anything)? Still SSS or can he be expected to keep it up?

9:32	Eno Sarris: Reverse platoon splits supposedly take the longest to stabilize, like over 1000 PAs.

9:32	Comment From Yan Can Adam Jones keep up his good numbers with the lack of BBs?

9:33	Eno Sarris: BBs not correlated with batting average in any way, actually. It’s the ‘real’ baseball people that want BBs.

9:33	Comment From Dolemite 12 team 5×5 roto Segura for Strasburg and Fowler… who wins that trade…. is it close?

9:33	Eno Sarris: Depends a lot on who the Segura owner is going to slot into SS. Problem is, I only want Fowler in OBP leagues really. And yes, I think it’s close.

9:34

Comment From John
Take on Dodgers Dbacks brawl? Dodgers have been throwing at the DBacks all year, and Kennedy throws an offspeed pitch (albeit high) at Greinke. Does Mattingly really have a right to be that pissed off? A) his pitchers are constantly hitting Dbacks and B) HE SENT GREINKE OUT TO HIT!

9:34	Eno Sarris: I wish people wouldn’t throw at other people?

9:34	Comment From Andrew League requires CF, do I trade Matt Carpenter and DeJesus for Choo, if I want to free Rendon? OBP/points league.

9:34	Eno Sarris: Are you playing DJ? Then maybe. If not, Rendon is not someone you need to make trades to get into the lineup.

9:35

Comment From The Great Childish Bambino
Hi Eno, so I accepted a trade yesterday. His Justin Verlander for my Bryce Harper and Mike Minor. I picked up Yasiel Puig a week and a half ago and I think he’ll be what I projected Harper to be. Minor’s good, but he’s no Verlander, who I think will heat up. My team is in 2nd out of 14 and his is 12th. What do you think of the deal? This now gives me Darvish, Verlander, Samardzija, Iwakuma, Colon, Cashner, Liriano for my SPs

9:35	Eno Sarris: Relying a bit much on a guy with very little MLB track record. An no MLB SBs.

9:35	Comment From Bob How you feeling about Frasico Liriano? Time to cut bait?

9:36	Eno Sarris: I love Liriano! Perfect situation for him.

9:36	Comment From eyy Hey you need data analyst types for beergraphs or are you all set on that front (i.e. should I email you about it)? Also, ballast point made its way to chicago and is as delicious as you have said.

9:36	Eno Sarris: Yes, more data analysts always welcome. There’s an email at the bottom of my intro post.

9:36	Comment From TJ T/F: Ellbury hits above .280, scores more than 85 runs, AND steals more than 40 bases by season’s end (I’m trying to trade Puig for him)

9:36	Eno Sarris: True

9:36	Comment From Ben What do you think the odds are that Ike is in Vegas for the rest of the season?

9:37	Eno Sarris: very low. His numbers will look great. People will wonder.

9:37	Comment From the Gregorius D.I.D.(i) I can’t tell you how happy I was to see Hoponius Union make the Beergraphs top 25….Jack’s Abby is making incredible beers. I like the Cascadian Schwarzbier even better.

9:37	Comment From Luded The art of looking into Bartolo’s success = Colonoscopy

9:37	Comment From Spence Who is Mike Stanton?

9:37	Eno Sarris: This interlude was sponsored by a decent reliever that pitched for the Braves and Yankees in the late nineties.

9:38	Comment From juan pierres mustache Is R.A. Dickey as great to talk to as he seems? Far as I can tell he’s one of the coolest guys in ball

9:38	Eno Sarris: I think so. He was the first player to spot me, say hi, and make himself available to talk when he saw me. Was talking to another writer who called him an ‘operator’ though. Maybe I’m gullible. It almost doesn’t matter, because it’s fun to talk to him.

9:39	Comment From Isaac What is Gattis’ keeper value compared to guys like Zunino or D’Arnaud?

9:39	Eno Sarris: Gotta be lesser. The age thing matters here. Though it does seem like Gattis’ game is roto-suited, and that he’s proven himself at MLB level.

9:39	Comment From Tyler Time to put a fork in Valverde (I bet he tastes of smoked pork and syrup)? My league counts saves + holds so his value isn’t really that great…figured I’d take a flier b/c the Tigers are going to win so much, but can I drop him w/o regret?

9:39	Eno Sarris: Yeah I think he looks much worse than his numbers.

9:40

Comment From Ben
Is there a stat that shows the percentage of runners in scoring position and runners in general that a player leaves on base? I feel that a stat like that would be more helpful than just an RBI total and we could see exactly how much of driving in runs in random opportunity and how much is skill

9:40	Eno Sarris: I think there is a site that tracks RBI% or the like. Don’t think we do. For the most part, we ignore RBI. You can find out that skill by looking at his ‘clutch’ numbers, his contact rate, and his team’s offensive strength.

9:41	Comment From centerfield ballhawk Keep hearing about this Sabermetrics approach that the Royals have been using with their new lineup. Besides moving Salvador Perez to the three hole, what exactly have they done?

9:41	Eno Sarris: Made a PR move.

9:41	Comment From hoohah Did you have a beer with the hot dogs? If not, that’s your problem. You need to balance out the nitrates with hops. Trust me, I’m a scientist.

9:42	Eno Sarris: dangit. the one time..

9:42	Comment From Culle Taijuan Walker worth holding onto in a re-draft?

9:42	Eno Sarris: Feels like it’s all hands on deck, and Bonderman is a wonky arm to depend upon. Wait for a few Bondy stinkers, see if Walker’s name comes up. Hultzen might be more ready once he’s healthy, though.

9:42	Comment From John Why all the talk of Ethier being a fit for the Mets. He is terrible and his contract is an albatross. If Sandy does that, he is officially the worst GM in baseball, it doesn’t matter if LA picks up the whole tab.

9:43	Eno Sarris: Hey I think the money that the Dodgers pick up is very important. Ethier has his flaws, but he’s a consistent 2-3 win player, and how many guys on the Mets can you say that about?

9:43	Comment From Eric After reading Skorupa’s piece on Sano, is he worth stashing in a 10 team mix – 10 keepers since I’m already out of contention this year?

9:44	Eno Sarris: Definitely fits the high upside mantra. He could see some coffee in September, and force the team to discuss his role in 2014, which is what you’re looking for.

9:44	Comment From Lance What’s your philosophy on trading hot prospects in keeper leagues? Fantasy experts are screaming to sell high on Puig, but I’d rather enjoy owning him for 5 years at good value than deal him to slightly increase my chances of winning this season. Thoughts?

9:45	Eno Sarris: Most of my ‘sell Puig’ comments are for redrafts. In keeper leagues, man, you found that guy, he’s killing it, and if he keeps killing it, isn’t that why you’re in a dynasty league?

9:45	Comment From Maxamuz THERE IS NOT ENOUGH LUCAS DUDA IN THIS CHAT ENO!

9:45	Eno Sarris: Depends on whom you ask.

9:45	Comment From centerfield ballhawk I would like to thank Bill Nye the Science Guy for taking care of my classroom instruction today… and letting me partake in some enjoyable chattage.

9:45	Eno Sarris: We got a classroom update!

9:46	Comment From Andrew I used to go to this dim sum place every Sunday morning, and then this guy Barack Obama decided to go there and ruin everything, as post his visit the lines became prohibitively long. That’s how I feel about you and your chats now that you’re so popular, Eno.

9:46	Eno Sarris: I’m no POTUS.

9:46	Comment From Chuck You wrote about the Marlins outfield but didn’t make a final speculation on whether Juan Pierre will keep his full time job there all year or will be starting full time someone else. Thoughts?

9:46	Eno Sarris: My speculation is: he’ll be traded.

9:46	Comment From Nick O Thoughts on Trumer Pils? Sometimes simpler = better.

9:47	Eno Sarris: I’ll reach for it in a supermarket here in Cali, for sure. It’s utterly decent.

9:47	Comment From the Gregorius D.I.D.(i) Jurickson Profar’s favorite TV show was Mr. Bean….vital info for your everyday lives

9:47	Comment From Stuck in the Mud Ejax should not be streamed ever until his ERA comes within 2 runs of his FIP. Damn that guy.

9:47	Comment From Jordan Bill Cosby has a present for you…

9:48	Eno Sarris: and, on queue, my stomach gurgled very very loudly.

9:48	Comment From Holy Cow I benched Straily yesterday against the Yanks and he goes out and wins. Go figure.

9:49

Eno Sarris: I like Straily’s secondary stuff, but worry about his fastball. Can’t wait to talk to him. Apparently he tried all sorts of different changeup grips before he found the one he liked. That convo will be epic, I hope. As for fantasy, with the iffy FB, I’ll sit him on the road in HR ballparks.

9:49	Comment From Michael Scoresheet league, which side do you take: Tim Hudson and Carlos Quentin OR Cole Hamels and Logan Forsythe

9:49	Eno Sarris: Hamels side.

9:50	Comment From zack Has matt Cain finished paying the price to the DIPS gods?

9:50	Eno Sarris: The xFIP gods? We’ll see tonight, but I bet tonight’s game will be a nice one.

9:51	Comment From Andrew Nick Franklin fo real? OBP league.

9:51	Eno Sarris: The average is a little BABIPpy, but I’ll take the Steamer RoS rates over ZiPs.

9:51	Comment From juan pierres mustache i just want to say that i’m really glad razor is sticking to his Montel Jordan guessing plan

9:52	Eno Sarris: Every song, in his voice and persona, becomes funny. But today’s was fairly epic.

9:52	Comment From Maxamuz Eno I want your straight gut (since its not feeling well I have a odd trust of it today) on who to start today. 1st one to come to mind…JAMES LONEY OR RIZZO!?

9:52	Eno Sarris: Um. Dude.

9:52	Comment From Cochise You gotta try some of the Fort george brews from astoria oregon the vortex ipa will make top 100 for sure

9:52	Eno Sarris: We get our numbers from Untappd, so y’all have to go out and drink it and rate it.

9:52	Comment From Richard Your best guess: Pineda will be in the rotation by ___ and be a top ___ pitcher from then on.

9:53	Eno Sarris: Mid July, 50.

9:53	Comment From the Gregorius D.I.D.(i) I so would have gotten those lyrics like 10 years ago

9:53	Eno Sarris: No one remembers, old Marcus Garvey.

9:53	Comment From Maxamuz Bob Loblaw, if you stick around for these chats weekly you will be my new Assistant to the Assistant Regional Manager.

9:53	Comment From David re: Beergraphs and regional BAR. Would a regional BAR mean that easter IPAs, for example, would be on a different scale from those available in California? Or would you try to find beers from each region that rate similarly and lump them together for your baseline?

9:54	Eno Sarris: I’d just try to find a baseline/ replacement level that was set regionally.

9:54	Comment From LarryA Maybe you were right all along about Masterton

9:54	Eno Sarris: Well nothing changed in his pitching mix or velo, so it’s hard to say that he was a changed man.

9:54	Comment From Cory Eno, if you could get Shields plus for Ryan Bruan in a keeper league where you can’t keep Braun past this year, whould you do it?

9:55	Eno Sarris: If the plus gives me some power or speed back in the OF, and I wasn’t in the top two, yes. Shields is a bit old though. Could look for a younger mix of players.

9:55	Comment From Pat Eno, is time to start buying into Lyles – really only one bad start all year – 22 years old, increased velocity – is he tkaing the next step?

9:56	Eno Sarris: I wish there was a better whiff rate attached to that line. But with that ground ball rate, he could be back-end fantasy useful in all but the shallowest.

9:56	Comment From Spence If you caught, say, Barry Bonds’ record breaking HR ball, and you saw Randy Jackson on the way out of the stadium, would you have him sign it?

9:56	Eno Sarris: ….

9:56	Comment From David Aoki’s getting caught an awful lot this year. He may have lost a step and not really be a speed guy anymore …

9:57	Eno Sarris: He’s 31 and he’s been caught more than he’s been successful. This could be a true statement. No ‘working through a hammy issue’ this year or anything? No excuses?

9:57	Comment From taylor Figaro…Figaro…Figaro. What to make of him?

9:58	Eno Sarris: Given his whiff rate, I’ll take the under on Steamers 8k/9 the rest of the way, but 95mph! With good control! And grounders! I need to watch a start.

9:59	Comment From John i had a sonic chicago dog last night, im fine

9:59	Eno Sarris: You paid for it. You get what you pay for.

9:59	Comment From P is for Profar Where do you see Profar finally settling in, bit teamwise and positionwise?

9:59	Eno Sarris: Second base? I could see the team talking about keeping Kinsler heatlhy in the OF or something. Especially if Cruz gets Biogenisis/d.
