FanGraphs Audio: Brandon Warne on Realignment

Episode 101
Today we consult FanGraphs Audio’s impressive Mail Sack and find a question regarding the Astros’ pending move to the AL West. Contributor Brandon Warne provides the salient details of said move — including, for example, its effects on the field. Also discussed: hot dish as haute cuisine.

Don’t hesitate to direct pod-related correspondence to @cistulli on Twitter.

Audio on the flip-flop. (Approximately 18 min. play time.)

Ok I’m sorry but the lack of knowledge of the Astros’ roster and farm system is embarrassing. This really adds nothing.

yeah that’s probably fair, a little more prep work ect., but warne is a great guest overall and cistulli, as always, has a great way of mixing the fun and thoughtful, certainly knows his baseball.
