If he didn’t a ball in play, his OBP of .395 would’ve been 17th between Thome and Sheffield instead of the unfathomable .609

Unrelated but big fan of your last two recommendation corners. I think the Petey album is very good and recommend giving it another listen since you were kinda on the fence. Still warming up to Jackal’s Wedding but I loved Westerman’s first two albums.

The timeline did not heed your advice

Ran into you outside the Fonda at the ELO concert that was 10 years ago this month. That was a phenomenal experience.

Decided to look at Geese tickets in LA after listening to the podcast:

I did my first NFBC Draft Champions working on advice you and @rotogut.bsky.social gave in a preseason podcast. Won a league that had some really good players with Yordan as my first pick. Thanks!

Loons outfielders (George, De Paula, Hope and Quintero) have exactly 200 steals on the season. George with almost half of them but impressive nonetheless.

Hope you’re prepared carve out a minute and a half on Sunday night’s pod.

Yeah, would probably make more sense in the offseason but comps would be helpful too.

By the way, Josh Naylor just stole his 20th & 21st base of the season which means Naylor and Raleigh have more combined steals than Ohtani and Carroll. Enjoyed your disbelief about Naylor in the pod today.

Next time there’s a light slate of games, do you mind doing a deep dive into wOBA and xwOBA? It’s kind of a blind spot for me, so when you reference someone having a .360 xwOBA, I don’t instinctively know if that’s okay, good or great.

Went to an advance screening of Wonder Boys and brought my LA Confidential DVD for Curtis Hanson to sign- only to have my dog eat it 13 years later.
