Talk Sox Podcast Questions, 8/17

[Alex Mayes]

It’s that time of the week to get your questions submitted for @Maddie Landis and myself on the Talk Sox Podcast!

We’ll put the cutoff for questions on Monday, 8/17 at 5 pm CST.

1. What's your preference between the hard hit calculations of Statcast and Fangraphs (Baseball Info Solutions based)? I know that Fangraphs lists both, which can be a little confusing when you look at a player's history like Jarren Duran. 

2. I know they are in a playoff race, but should they have Roman, Story and IKF have lengthy rehab stints to come back at 100% or get back earlier to replace underperforming or injured players? 

3. Has there been a Johan Oviedo update since mid July? I'm guessing no news is bad news (a la Kutter Crawford)? 

4. Baseball writers universally love Bruce Springsteen. If you could pick one artist to embody the next generation of baseball writers/podcasters, who would it be?

We've seen both the offense and pitching struggle lately. 

What -- in your informed opinions -- can either or both be attributed to attempts at adjustments by a certain Badly Rushed Man?

Who might be added to the 40, if we need a SP'er?

Holobetz, Paez, Wehunt of Ziehl?
