Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
God will attempt to regress the number of baseball transactions to the mean.
Dayne Perry needs to come back soon!
Jesus, get to the point! 4 minutes of nothing to begin.
With Cistulli I make it standard practice to just skip to about the 2 minute mark and start listening from there. But sometimes….
I live in fear of the day when I’m so busy I can’t take a minute or two to enjoy listening to Carson blather semi-coherently and push the boundaries of sentence construction.
Lighten up man
“Getting hit by a pitch is not systemic or repeatable” – Cameron
…. Tell that to Shane Victorino
The context was injuries, so “getting injured by HBP is not systemic or repeatable” was the implication. And if anything, Victorino proves that point, since his health issues (as far as I can recall) have not resulted from HBP despite the frequency with which he
cheats his way to firstgets in the way of pitches. Unless sticking your bicep into the strike zone causes lower back tightness.Did Cameron say “sabermetrics cervicals” at the 4:20 mark?
