Dave Cameron FanGraphs Chat – 4/22/15

by
April 22, 2015
11:29
Dave Cameron: It’s Wednesday, so let’s talk some baseball.
11:45
Dave Cameron: The queue is now open. We’ll get started in 15 minutes or so.
12:07
Dave Cameron: As a heads up, I’m using some spotty wifi, so we might have a few hiccups today.
12:07
Comment From guest
If the Angels eat 2/3rds of Hamilton’s contract, who would his suitors be?

12:08
Dave Cameron: He has ~$80 million left, right? So asking a team to pick him up at 2.5 years and $25 million? I don’t think anyone does that.
12:08
Dave Cameron: Pick up 80% of the contract and maybe the A’s or Rays take a flyer.

FanGraphs After Dark Live Blog – StatCast Debut Edition – 4/21/15

by
April 21, 2015
4:19
Paul Swydan: Hi everybody! Tonight we’ll be starting earlier than usual, as we’re going to live blog the StatCast unveiling broadcast on MLB Network tonight between the Cardinals and Nationals.

Jeff is a bit under the weather, so he may be in and out (or just out), but we’ll also be joined by special guest Sean Dolinar, whose pretty graphs have been populating the site for a little bit now.

See you soon!
5:38
Paul Swydan: Someone asked in the comments if the StatCast edition is available on MLB.TV. My answer is that I don’t think so, because they generally only carry local broadcasts on MLB.TV, but I’m not 100% sure.
6:09
Sean Dolinar: For those wondering, I just got an alert from my MLB At Bat app, and it looks like they will have a live look-in on the first inning of the MLBN game. This looks free to anyone:

Comment From Mike
For those of in the DC area (or STL), do you know if the MLB Network broadcast will be blacked out in favor of the regional networks? That would be very disappointing.

    Sean Dolinar: I think normal blackout policy applies, and you’ll be getting the Cubs-Pirates game on MLBN. 

7:02
Paul Swydan: Hey everybody!
7:04
Sean Dolinar: Game time!

Kiley McDaniel Prospects Chat – 4/20/15

Kiley McDaniel: This is a chat. Let’s chat.
12:10
Comment From Keeper? I hardly know her
Does Uribe’s slow start make it likely that Corey Seager comes up early?
12:10

Kiley McDaniel: Don’t think they’re going to rush Seager based on short-term need.
12:10
Comment From KD
Wisler- up in 2015? Starter or reliever?
12:11

Kiley McDaniel: Starter. Don’t think they bring him up in relief unless he sits in AAA all year and a spot doesn’t open up and they just want to get him worked in for Sept…but a spot will open up at some point.
12:11
Comment From Bojack Horseman
Has your opinion of Matt Wisler changed significantly since you wrote up the Padres in December?

Paul Sporer: Hey everybody! Sorry for the late start. Had 12 central in my head. I’m filling in for Eno today, but hopefully not in an Erasmo-Ramirez-filling-in-for-Alex-Cobb-kinda-way.
12:18

Better late then never, and you’re not even Eno are you.

12:18

12:24
Kiley McDaniel: ok now i’m really back
12:25
Comment From Tommy+B
Should cubs bring up Russell with Bryant next week? Do you think he is ready?
12:25
Kiley McDaniel: No idea what the plan is there, but if the only consideration was service time (it isn’t) then next week would work.
12:25
Comment From Bren
How surprised/concerned are you by the Mets skipping Molina, Rosario, and Urena over Low-A to High-A?

Comment From Mooking for Love
goes the dynamite

12:01
Comment From greg
Any thoughts on Jeurys Familia as the Mets’ new closer?

12:01
Dan Szymborski: He’s the logical option.
12:01
Comment From zack
Szymborksi, Is AROD back? How hilarious will it be if he has a good year?

12:02
Dan Szymborski: Wouldn’t go that far quite yet. I’m still skeptical – he was steadily declining before 2013 already and he essentially had 1.8 lost years at an advanced age

Started Hutchison, House, and Hughes today. Not excited to see ERA tomorrow.

6:46
Paul Sporer: That is rough. Believe me, I feel you. House & Hughes are among my most-rostered arms (full rundown coming Tuesday, btw, similar to my Hitting Portfolio – http://www.fangraphs.com/fa…)
6:47
Comment From Joc Odor
Thoughts on Carlos Santana (5 x 5 OBP league with OBP replacing average) in the early going?

6:47
Paul Sporer: Very pleased! Looking very good out of the gate.

Comment From Prison Mike
Yo momma is so dumb she named her some Eno

12:00
Comment From Stuck in a Slump
Yo Mama’s so fat, she didn’t understand why people were freaking out in the KFC ‘I ate the bones’ commercial

12:00
Comment From Maxamuz
Yo momma’s so stupid, she thinks Jordan Zimmermann’s last name only has one N.

12:00
Eno Sarris: Start with an interlude today, why not.
