I can't seem to get into any Brandenburg Concerto recordings other than the old Karl Richter ones. Most of em are just meh. Any suggestions?

Dan Szymborski

Depends what you're looking for in a Brandenburg

1:05

if you like more "historically informed" performances (though you may not if prefer Richter), I'd look for the Marriner with Dart that uses a recorder+horn instead of flute+trumpet

Do you think that Trevor Williams might be one of those pitchers who are not quite accurately rated by many pitching metrics? Many are calling for him to regress and he most certainly will to an extent, but he seems to have shown an ability to limit hard contact and to suppress hrs on his fly balls.

Dan Szymborski

It's quite possible. If he keeps it up, you'll see projections start to align more with his results

But it's always smart to be a skeptic

Andy Nelsons is the best bbq I've ever had outside of the south.

It's really excellent stuff

Just *strictly* pit beef, the pit beef specialists edge them out

Willians Astudilo has the highest AVG. In MLB history minimum 100 PA. Nuff said!

So, re. Sports Illustrated's baseball preview, in this day and age, why are we still reading anonymous scouts talking about gritty white guys winning several games for team X, while random Hispanic/black player isn't getting the most out of their talent? If you read all their team capsules, you'd think the scout was writing 50 years ago.

It takes awhile to weed out this type of stereotypical crap

Cat update?

I put the hedgehog in my pocket so Cassie gave up and wandered off. I gave Galileo some fresh mozzarella before chat, so he probably won't start bothering me for dinner for awhile yet

Mercutio was meowing about something and Cassie went and chased him
