You Aren't a FanGraphs Member
It looks like you aren't yet a FanGraphs Member (or aren't logged in). We aren't mad, just disappointed.
We get it. You want to read this article. But before we let you get back to it, we'd like to point out a few of the good reasons why you should become a Member.
1. Ad Free viewing! We won't bug you with this ad, or any other.
2. Unlimited articles! Non-Members only get to read 10 free articles a month. Members never get cut off.
3. Dark mode and Classic mode!
4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn't sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.
9. A weekly mailbag column, exclusively for Members.
10. Help support FanGraphs and our entire staff! Our Members provide us with critical resources to improve the site and deliver new features!
We hope you'll consider a Membership today, for yourself or as a gift! And we realize this has been an awfully long sales pitch, so we've also removed all the other ads in this article. We didn't want to overdo it.

Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
An acquaintance just had to get emergency surgery on her dog because it swallowed the squeaker from a chew toy and got a blockage. It was a smallish dog and I’m sure you’re already aware of the potential risk, but FYI.
I would like to make a suggestion to improve FanGraphs Audio: For the love of God Mr Cistulli would you please stop repeating yourself, repeating yourself, repeating yourself. In your intro you say the name of Andrelton Simmons six times!
I like it.
That’s kind of his schtick, man.
I thought it was free-form Algerian rap styling Carson picked up in some sketchy arrondissement in Paris. Carson’s always struck me as a north African underground rapper. Granted, one that went to some stodgy prep school in Olde Coastal America, but still…
I also enjoy Carson’s particular (and peculiar) style and pizzazz.
Andrelton Simmons!
Re: Cameron’s “Netflix for chew toys” idea, Barkbox has been around for a while.
The Andrelton Simmons to Brett Gardner transition was pretty masterful.
The music that bookends each episode appeared on an episode of a quiz show over here in the UK this week (University Challenge, for those interested). I got some odd looks from those around when I shouted out Herb Alpert after about one second.
