BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2019-08-30 16:00:00 (link to chat)	Thanks for the chat. I have some SP about to be activated as the Fantasy playoffs start so I may need to drop a SP or two in my 20 team H2H league with QS and K/9. Who would you drop from this list: Michael Wacha, Mike Montgomery, Adrian Houser, Steven Brault, Michael Pineda, Steven Matz? (Festivus from Phoenix)	You are welcome for the chat. Wacha and Monty are the names that stand out here. Montgomery has a sweet two-start schedule next week (DET, @MIA) so I'd probably cut Wacha first. He hasn't gone into the sixth inning in, like, forever (or, since June 28, to be exact). (Jon Hegglund)
2018-04-19 13:00:00 (link to chat)	If Mitch Keller were in another organization would he be up already? (James from California )	Oh good golly no. He barely pitched professionally in 2014 and 2015. 130 innings in 2016, 116 in 2017, at age 21. He entered the season with less than 35 IP above High-A. Trust me, he's not being blocked by Steven Brault. Management is running this fine. (Rob Mains)
