A stereo sound feed instead of a mono sound feed would be nice. Not a huge deal. Just something I would mention. Not sure if the change in hosts also brought a change in equipment. But year, only audio coming from the left channel.
Gentlemen, appreciate your feedback. I’m working on rectifying the situation, and I expect improvement with the next entry!
100% agreed. Mono sound is extremely distracting, especially through headphones.
Love the pod, but that was painful to listen to. Volume is low as well as the mono issue. Crank it up! I know you’ll get it fixed so no biggie.
Can you guys talk about A Jax next episode? K’s are down again, but his BABIP is way down from his career norm. He is hitting a lot more flyballs, but that hasn’t translated to more power (thus far) and could hurt his ability to maintain a BABIP at his prior baseline. He’s taking off more with Leyland gone, but his run totals are down no longer being at the top of the lineup. What kind of value are we expecting the rest of the way? I feel like the projection systems can’t capture the lineup spot or batted ball profile changes.
Love the podcast, any chance you guys could talk about Arcia ROS/Career outlook on the next? Just dropped Byrd for him in my dynasty league.
Minor note, but I’d have liked to hear the intro music played at the outro for better closure… Also a shorter pause after the theme intro, liven it up, ya know?
Thanks for the input. Production is all new to me, learning on the fly, and I’ll definitely take this into consideration!
