Listener Questions

  • Comparing 2026 AAA to 2025 AAA It looks like the Giants/Bryce Eldridge are working on his chase and pull air%, but I don’t think anyone, especially @Justin Mason would be happy with his plummeting zone contact%. Do you think he can recapture his zone contact% or is it going to be one or the other? (56:39)
  • With the annual repeated success (lately) of mid tier pitchers (Schlittler/Imanaga/Roupp/CSanchez25/Hunter Brown 25/etc.) I feel like I am buying more into the no SPs in top 6/7 rounds of my DCs … hitters and closers early – SPs in the middle. What do you think? (1:00:30)
