You asked, and we answered. David and Eric took your questions on The Athletic app and shared their best responses. Are we finally done chastising Ozzie Albies over his switch hitting? Should Spencer Strider have a different mindset, or even make adjustments, when his stuff isn't at full strength? Plus, the inimitable Jesse Chavez, and Marcell Ozuna's pep talk to Michael Harris.
