Did you happen to see the Darvish slider video on twitter from the batters box viewpoint? That absolutely convinced me I could never get wood on a major league pitch

Yeah, I don't think fans in general realize just how amazingly, almost super-humanly good major leaguers are at baseball.

Have you ever heard David Sampson's podcast, or his appearances on the Lebatard show? He's clearly an asshole, but I'm not sure that makes him wrong. Hard to evaluate the accuracy of his Insights. Does he know what he's talking about or no?
Kevin Goldstein

I have never listened to him. I have no plans to change that fact.

re: the "don't force comps" concept. Totally get it for scouts and scouting-interested fans, but for others it seems like a positive way for the layman to have a frame on a player. Thanks for your work!

Have you moved on to a new show since finishing Yellowjackets. I started Station Eleven after listening to Passan on your pod...pretty solid so far.

We are watching Archive 81 on Netflix (inconsistent, but flashes plus), and just started the very good (so far) Korean zombie series All Of Us Are Dead, also on Netflix.

How hard is it for someone to transition into a competent-or-better defensive 1B? I've honestly always been a bit astounded by how good Yuli is at picking them
Kevin Goldstein

He's so damn good over there, and it's extremely hard.
