i love listening and think that this episode was much better than previous ones. I think you can still make it “tighter” and faster with the same information. Try making a declarative sentence and then stopping. not making the same statement in other ways. Thanks again.
Also, if you could relay to Cistulli an idea for notgraphs–I think Verlander’s problems are with Upton, the same way Roy Hobbs problem was Memo Paris. I think this needs to be explored……..
Awesome podcast. Was nice this one didn’t give me a headache with all the mic issues of Eno 🙂
probably your “best sounding” podcast, Eno on landline was a tremendous improvement, and he wasn’t cutting in and out.
Made me laugh a couple times which is a nice touch. My fantasy team is running like a well-oiled machine these days thanks to all the advice you dish out every other day. Well, a well-oiled second place team…
