Hey! It's the first of the month! Don't worry it snuck up on me too.

Drop your question below for this month's exclusive Patreon video Q&A. Could be about baseball, Youtube, or life in general. I'll return in a week or so with my answers. 

Comments

Peyton Smith

Who is your favorite all-time Brave?

Joey Killmer

If you woke up tomorrow as Rick Hahn, what would be the first three things you would do as the White Sux GM?

Sam Horton

How many catchers are you taking over Francisco Álvarez for the next 5 years?

Noah Dorroh

Thoughts on Astros prospect Drew Gilbert?

Luke Nicholson

as an Adolis Garcia enjoyer i think WPA+ is a fun stat to look at over a large enough sample size. can you corroborate this at all or am i just sorta looking at tea leaves here?

Robert Matheson

I've been wondering about Vladdy jr. For pretty much the whole year his xwOBA has been a lot better than his actual wOBA and his batted ball data is still in the elite of the elite. So I'm wondering is there anything else I should be looking at that explains why his on-field results just aren't matching all of his expected numbers and peripherals?

Charlie's Inferno

If you had one full day to train, what do you think would be most likely for you personally, getting a hit off of Ohtani or striking Ohtani out?

Will

How much stock do you put in how the players feel about the new rule changes? How much stock should we in general put into player sentiment over the rule changes? At the end of the day, it is an entertainment product; if the rule changes are popular with the fans (as long as they don't cause active harm to the players), isn't that all that matters?

Miles W

Moving into my first off campus place in college, what’s a must have in your opinion?

CHRISTOPHER NUNEZ

What differences do you see in last year's cy young candidates that are making them struggle this year?

EanieBeanie

Who has the sweetest right-handed swing? All time and current

Jay Rabbit

How real is the idea of a 2024 Cincinnati Reds postseason run?

Bo Brown

Two teams have the same WAR total for a season. One has a "normal" distribution i.e. a couple of superstars, an ace, some middling to average, some below replacement level guys. The other has the exact WAR from each player to get to the same total. Which would you expect to be better, or would one even be better?

Dan

Happy pride month Bailey. What player are you most proud of this year (can be in a gay or straight way)?

bobby witt jr truther

not to get too meta, but how does it feel to be someone who is a legitimate part of baseball media with the ability to tangibly affect the world of major league baseball and the discussion around it; for example, in his HoF speech, Larry Walker credited social media and the internet for his rise in voting, and I would wager you, as foolish baseball, were a large part of getting him in. Has the way you’ve approached content creation, or the way you’ve viewed your channel changed at all as your channel and influence has grown so large?

Heinous

I forgot to do the last one so i'd doing two short ones if that's alright 1. 3 favorite pokemon 2. favorite strong bad email?

Tom Landry Jackson

Should the rangers trade at the deadline for relief pitching or should we stick to the plan and wait on prospects like leiter porter rocker carter and zavala? Prospects like foscue and acuna can't really move up with us and are just trade capital

genderdruid

Thoughts on Jarred Kelenic? Is his breakout for real or did he just have a hot start and he's going to keep coming back to earth?

YoungPhillyKing

Whats the most satisfying moment you’ve had in baseball? It could be something like picking steven kwan to breakout before any one else or like the braves winning the WS? go phils sadly

Keegan Tatum

How has doing your channel changed you?

Trace Dunlap

At what age did you fully get into baseball? Also, If there’s a specific game or moment that made you a fan, I’d love to know

Ezra Mendelson

Which player will finish this year with the most WAR without making the all-star game? (Also, do you plan on doing Sporcles again?)

Zachary Birger

I feel strongly that Garret Cole and Ron DeSantis give off the same annoying energy. Do you agree and are there any players whose energy strongly reminds you of some other public figure?

Wesley Potter

Why is every single team in both the NL central and AL central painfully mid/bad?

Mathieu Dumas

I have a proposal for you. Would you be interested to have your videos dubbed in French? I am from Montreal and speak both languages, so it would be an honor for me to provide the voice for French versions of your videos! I'm also an emerging actor, and have experience in voiceover!

nick podd

Hi Bailey, how important do you think "line-up construction" in creating a successful team? For example, if you had a team with a 110 WRC+, would it matter the offensive profiles of the players you use to reach that stat line, or is there a special mix you prefer? Would you rather have 9 Joey Gallo offensive-profile players or 9 Luis Arraez types through the line-up? Old-school thinking would tell you need a mix of contact, on-base, and power throughout your line-up, but I'm not really sure how true that is. Would love to know your thoughts.

Borb

What do you think is up with Alek Manoah? Is it simply growing pains to get used to the new rules, or is something bigger happening? This question is brought to you by the Fantasy Baseball Complaint Department.

Paul Bauer

If you could time travel to watch any past season in MLB history in person following one team, but as soon as you got there you forgot everything about the season so you could experience it “virgin-style” which would it be and why?

Chris Filby

Do you think the Astros are making the right call in continuing to give Abreu at bats or do you think they should cut their losses and look to bench/replace him? Also in general how do you feel about fielding players with massive contracts who are underperforming?

Tristan Wille

Hey Bailey, hope all is well. I have 2 tiny questions about some creative decisions you've made 1. Why the mustachioed Pirates Barry Bonds (for your pixel art)? I feel like the bald, facial hairless Giants Bonds is much more recognizable? 2. I love the use of the Undertale soundtrack in the Pedro video -- guessing you never used it again due to copyright issues, but is there any further story there? Curious just because it fits the video so perfectly. Thanks!

Evan A

Bailey, pretend I am from the future, and that I can confirm to you that a perfect game will be pitched before the end of the 2023 season. You have three guesses for who threw it; who would your guesses be, in order? (Condolences on not being to post the Felix picture anymore).

Dan Russell (Bolly)

Hi Bailey, hope you're having a good time, loved the sweeper video. Are there any players who you expected to be negatively affected by the shift ban who are pleasantly surprising you? What about anyone who should have benefited who is underperforming?

Leo Thomas

Who is the best player in the game right now who you think won't make the hall of fame - purely for on-field reasons?

Ryan McGovern

What is your long-term forecast on Mickey Moniak? I want to be bullish on him, but his plate discipline stats have me believing it won't be much longer till he's optioned again.

Chris Waind

If you were Mr Burns making his team of ringers in Homer at the Bat, which current MLB players would you sign? It can be the best players at each position, or who you think would best fit into the world of the Simpsons, or both. You can have a DH, due to the rule change, and a reliever as well.

Josh Getto

In an average year are there more pitches thrown in 0 strike counts, 1-strike counts or 2-strike counts? Where would 0-strike counts rank if you exclude 3-0 counts? If you have exact numbers I would love to see them.

ad23

What in the world happened to the Mariners?

Harper-Leighton Scott

With Pete Alonso on pace for about 60 hrs this year I'm curious what would be the hypothetical lowest BAPIP HR king?

Darren Williams

Do you watch I Think You Should Leave? Thoughts on the new season if you've seen it?

Mitchell Israel

Two months into the season, who do you feel worse about leaving out from the Foolish 50, Zac Gallen or Marcus Semien? Feel free to make the argument for someone else, but those seem like the two most obvious omissions thus far

Phil Caldwell

How likely would you say it is that judge has another 2022 level season?(note: his xwoba has actually gone up since 2022)

Colin Palmer

Whats the velo on your fastball

Jason Coppe

For as rare as they are, why do you think Immaculate Innings aren’t as celebrated as other feats, such as no hitters, cycles, etc?

Lorenzo De Biasi

I know you put an emphasis on never talking someone down in your videos but is there someone in mlb right now or all time you think is massively overrated?

Liam

If you were creating your dream pitcher with a 4 pitch mix, what active player's single pitches would you take to build your player?

Zeke Peterson

Are there qualities in a player that you think make them more likely to reach on a fielding error? In other words, can the fact that a player often reaches on an error mean that a batter is doing something skillful and not just that the fielders are messing up (over a large sample).

YoungPhillyKing

I'm sorry for double dipping with questions but we gotta talk about Luis Arraez. He's had the best BA to start the season since Chipper in 08. His power numbers obvilusly don't pop out like a Judge or Ohtani, so do you think it'd be possible for a contact/single hitter to have a chance at an MVP nod in this era of baseball?

Aaron Pires

What current first place team are you the least confident/impressed by and vice versa
