9:08
Jeff Sullivan: I am fully prepared to take your offseason questions while being unprepared to answer them

9:08
Dookie Howser, MD: Did the Red Sox hire Tony La Russa as some kind of cruel joke?

9:08
Jeff Sullivan: The current Red Sox front office sure looks different from the Red Sox front office of just a few years ago

Eno Sarris Baseball Chat — 11/2/17

3:19
Eno Sarris: Dedicated to Yu? No, dedicated to Rob Manfred and his juiced balls? Wait. You dedicate this.

12:03
Eno Sarris: I’m here I’m here I’m here

12:04
Lance McCullers: I got 4 hit (batsmen) and a RBI.  Which is more surprising?

12:04
Eno Sarris: The RBI. AL pitcher!

12:04
dan: Should bellinger get blames just as much for the dodger losing last night as yu darvish?

12:05
Eno Sarris: It wasn’t a good postseason for Bellinger, and he had some flaws exposed. I saw some say he’ll fall off quickly and isn’t that good. I believe he has some contact improvement in him and this was part of that first rookie adjustment myself.

Dave Cameron FanGraphs Chat – 10/1/17

12:02
Dave Cameron: Happy Game 7 Day everyone!

12:02
Dave Cameron: Should be a fun night.

12:02
Dave Cameron: I’m on live blog duty tonight, so come back and join me as we watch two great teams fight it out for the title tonight.

12:03
Dave Cameron: We’ll start this chat in a few minutes.

12:05
Charlie Morton: When am I pitching tonight?

12:07
Dave Cameron: Let’s say McCullers goes 4-5. Keuchel is probably first guy out of the pen, and he’s probably good for 2. That leaves 2-3 innings for some combo of Morton, Peacock, and Verlander, my guess. Peacock is probably the “closer”, so maybe Morton gets the 7th?

Eric Longenhagen Spooky Prospects Chat

12:18
Eric A Longenhagen: Good morning, folks. Lots to squeeze in on my end today (I think I get Taylor Hearn and Tyler Beede in Scottsdale today) so we’ll probably hold tight to an hour. Let’s begin

12:19
Philip: Do you prefer austin Allen to Josh Naylor?

12:19
Eric A Longenhagen: Nope

12:19
Evan Longoria : Do you know much about Ronaldo Hernandez?

12:20
Eric A Longenhagen: Strong 19-year old Colombian catcher in Tampa’s system. Has power, catching is a work-in-progress but that’s fine because he’s a converted infielder. He made Rays list last offseason.

12:21
Chris: How good will Florial, Abreu, and Estrada be?

7:56
legeisc: What’s the O/U for innings for Darvish and McCullers? 4.2 for both?

7:57

Jeff Sullivan: Hello friends

Jeff Sullivan: Welcome to Friday baseball chat

9:06
Kiermaier’s Piercing Green Eyes: Longoria gets 10-5 rights next season. Does he get traded before then?

9:07
Jeff Sullivan: I don’t know why he would. This being Tampa Bay, obviously there’s always the chance, but Longoria feels like a forever Ray

9:08
Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe: What does Hensley Meulens need to do to get hired as a manager in one of the three current vacancies? I’d love him with the Nationals (though current front-runner Dave Martinez *feels* like a good fit as well).

9:08
Jeff Sullivan: This comment expresses a stronger feeling about a possible managerial candidate than I could personally ever imagine possessing
