E2

It's the Johnny Damon (man what a butt) episode of the E2 Podcast.  We're a week away from the playoffs so we wanted to give out some awards. We discuss the MVP, Cy Young, Manager and Rookie of the Year awards for the American and National Leagues. Eric is hoping that his Indians bias wasn't too prevalent.  Finally, sparked by a Joe Posnanski article (https://medium.com/joeblogs/2000-vs-2017-ea4c9141b966) Eric and Eli discuss the record setting amount of home runs that have been hit this season and how a sabermetric-led increase in shifts might have been the cause. We also discussed the impact that Statcast and their launch angle statistic might have had. The long ball is sexy, and so was this discussion.   As always, follow along for all your baseball and Florida football hot takes at @EProsise or @eli_marger
