Hey all,

It's time for another patreon exclusive Q&A! The first of the season! Please leave your (one) question down below, and I'll return in about a week with my answer! I know we have some new patrons this month, so if you're curious, you can check out the playlist of past Q&A's here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3lJFzNSaN7SE7AAWRLGyfnf4S2oONOm-

Salina Rae Silver

At what point do we take a step back and say that this Miami Marlins team can compete for a postseason spot? Stellar rotation, bevy of bats with a mix of contact, power and speed. I'm not even a Marlins fan, but this team can be special.

Matt Gilman

Not sure if this has been asked before… best baseball book in your opinion?

Ryan Lorenz

At the beginning of the season, Phil Castellini asked Reds fans “Where you gonna go?”, when asked about fan’s frustration. With the Reds currently having their worst start in franchise history, and escalating frustration amongst fans and players of the team, which teams would you recommend Reds fans going to?

Peter Cha

Who's your favorite player that people seem to not talk about anymore?

Brandon Perez

If you could give one Statcast 100 percentile attribute to one player who would it be and which attribute would you give them? Also really appreciate the Jackie video I’ve always made sure to mention that he’s amazing as well as groundbreaking but I appreciate you putting numbers to it!

Sean

Last season, the Yankees were among the least productive teams with the bases loaded and two out, OPS of .303. (Astros were the best at 1.614). How much of this is attributable to bad luck or lack of clutch performing as opposed to weak rosters or poor coaching? Do you foresee regression to the mean in these types of situations in 2022?

Eli Presberg

Is good hitting or pitching synergistic? Does stacking good players together make them play better, or are teams just the sum of their parts?

Max T

Can Bo Bichette continue to play shortstop long term? His numbers are pretty terrible and already he’s made a couple ghastly errors this season

Vertildr

What are you opinions on the Cardinals pitching staff and its potential once Flaherty coms back? If you want something more specific (or if you answered the last question already no need to answer this), do you think Helsley in his current state is a top reliever?

ajnrules

Do you prefer watching baseball movies or baseball documentaries?

Mitchell Israel

Will you be traveling to see games at all this baseball season? I know you did your NYC trip during the lockout, but I'm curious if you have any travel plans for this summer/fall, either to see the Braves play on the road or get to any ballparks you haven't been to

Jackson Ingram

What would you like to see on the Atlanta city connect jerseys?

Matt Foley

What would you say were the most underperforming and overperforming teams in a single season?

Chris Collum

Do you think Adalberto Mondesi is done? Such a revered prospect when he first came up but he's been pretty blah-to-bad for quite awhile now and with the season-ending injury plus Witt being a natural SS hard to see how he's not shopping for MiLB contracts when he returns from rehab.

Bryson

Do you think it’s possible for Trent Grisham to bounce back with the current baseball MLB is using? He’s a very disciplined hitter but is 3rd percentile in average exit velo in 2022 after being around 40th percentile in his career. Thanks and love the channel.

Trevin Susanto

The media rights deal seems like a mess. What do you think is the best way for baseball to balance short term economic gains and long term growth.

Wyatt Huggins

If you were building a reliever in a lab, but they could only throw one pitch for their entire career, what pitch would you give them to make them the most successful in today's MLB? What would its characteristics be?

Stephen

Has the rise of 3 true outcome baseball made defense less important?

Ethan

What do you think were some of the best starting pitching duos during the 2010s?

Nolan McDermott

How concerned are you about Joey Votto? I know he's usually a slow starter but 2022 is not looking too kind to Joey Ballgame and Los Rojas.

WashyCrab

New here so excuse me if I'm doing anything wrong, but how do you think hosmer will hold up this season? He has a near .400 avg so far. Do you think he will return to being mostly a burden or is this gonna be a big year for him? Thank you for the videos.

Nolan Murphy

Don't mind my full patreon name, it's a joke for another page. If you made an all-time team for each mlb franchise which non-Colorado team would have the worst starting pitcher? Also quick bonus Q if you're up for it: Do you have a favorite pro Counter-Strike team/player?

Evan A

When choosing topics for videos, have you made any conscious effort to feature teams that you haven’t focused much on in the past? By my count, the teams that have never been featured for a Baseball Bits are the Brewers and Padres (some have just been featured in a supporting role, such as the Guardians being the opponent for Verlander’s impossible inning and Chapman’s “baseball isn’t fair”). Would you actively search more for topics for these teams since you haven’t covered them much, or are you just waiting for the right topic?

Will

How high on your "Get This Dude in the Hall of Fame" list is Curt Flood? And are there any other players you'd like to see get elected to the Hall because of their contributions to the sport of baseball in general, as opposed to strictly their talent/statistical output?

Max Greineder

Could this be the Mariners year? I know for a while you have said you were waiting to see until Julio would get a full year, but that has come sooner than expected. They also post a core with pretty rock solid pitching, as well as an offense with JP Crawford (who is top 90th percentile in xwOBA, xBA, K%, and Chase Rate) and Ty France (who is top 90 in xwOBA, xBA, and K%, as well as with xSLG) and other surprise pieces, like Tom Murphy. Also Bonus Question can you try to say my last name the first time?

Keegan Tatum

Do you think the nationalistic style thinking that goes into team sports loyalty is detrimental for society?

Paul

How are we feeling about the Twins’ pitching? I’ve definitely been surprised at the results they’ve been getting (especially the starters) and I’m cautiously optimistic. Also shoutout Jhoan Duran

Dan Russell (Bolly)

Why do you think MLB hasn't been anywhere near as successful as the NFL in attracting audiences outside of the Americas? Take the UK (where I'm from) for example, where the NFL has become one of the biggest markets outside of the USA, yet there has been only one MLB game played here (back in 2019) even though there's almost certainly some level of potential here.

Brad Borrell

Which current MLB player with a head of hair will be completely bald by the time they retire?

Evan Flechsig

I’m relatively new to the sport of baseball and have been starting to go to more in-person MLB games. I’ve noticed that players do all sorts of things during play that aren't always captured by TV cameras. A good example is the catcher running over to the dug-out by 1st in case of a wild throw. Do you have any things an observer could watch for during an in-person that you’ve found interesting?

Taylor Hensley

What are your thoughts on MLB switching to metal bats?

teeballer25

Way too early deadline predictions?

DiscoKazuma

As a relatively new baseball fan, can you help me understand what's so great about Jeter's famous 'flip play' in the 2001 ALCS? Or is it just plain overrated?

tristan puig

please talk to me about mookie’s sprint speed

Nicholas Fu

With the NL West and AL East being so strong and expanded playoffs, could we see further changes of the divisions? Could possibly add 2 teams and make it similar to NFL, with 4 divisions of 4 teams in each conference. Vegas and Portland/Charlotte? Also please tell me how much you love Steven 'Rich Homie' Kwan and Taylor WARd

Jeremy Jones

If you could build your own ballpark from scratch, however you wanted, how would you configure the outfield dimensions? Deep center field? Short porch? Would you make it pitcher friendly? Would you make it rightly power biased or lefty power biased? Would love to know your ideal ballpark layout

Troy Lahrman

Realistically, what is the least amount of wins a MLB team could get in a 162 game season?

Asaf Cohen

Can you provide any insight on how you make the selections for your video ideas. Are you aware of many of these kind of wacky players/seasons/teams or are the recommended…

Bo Brown

Guillermo Heredia was worth 0.3 bWAR in 2021 but arguably worth a lot more for the Braves as a "great clubhouse" guy. Do you put a lot of weight into stuff like that?

Jon Wondrasek

What are your thoughts on slumping players and how they should be dealt with? Also what do you do with a slumping franchise? the Reds need major help. (I know I'm breaking the rules here so I'm expecting Astros-level punishment)
