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.

When Cameron suggests that an advanced degree in neuroscience would not be helpful in the case of dating an emotional person who would not appreciate logical reasoning, and Cistulli says ‘oh yeah I know how that is’ I laughed embarrassingly loudly.
Who or what is ‘Teemo Nebrass’? I (mis)hear it every week and do not know if it is a place, a person or an expression.
It’s the theme song he uses for the podcast, “Spanish Flea” by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. If you went LP shopping at the Goodwill 10-15 years ago you could have had 10+ copies of the entire Herb Alpert catalog!
I hear ‘Tinto Brass’
Malcolm Gladwell’s book “Blink” addresses the relationship between time and quality of decision making. Surprise, it’s not what you think!
Surprise, Malcolm Gladwell often chooses narrative over scientific rigor!
Surprise, one of these two is more interesting than the other… and it’s not the one you expected!
Which is how good teams become great ones.
According to the Hagakure (Book of the Samurai), all important decisions should be made in the time of seven breaths..
By the way, this isn’t in the little “Fangraphs Audio” box on the homepage. I saw it on the front page and feared that it was removed by administrator. Luckily, I was able to find it in the blog list.
