by

Episode 589
Dave Cameron is both (a) the managing editor of FanGraphs and (b) the guest on this particular edition of FanGraphs Audio, during which edition he discusses this past weekend’s Saberseminar in Boston, the quality and quantity of Statcast data, and one of Curt Schilling’s less horrifying — but also recent — comments.

This edition of the program is sponsored by Draft, the first truly mobile fantasy sports app. Compete directly against idiot host Carson Cistulli by clicking here.

For what other product might Mr. Cistulli advertise with success? I can think of Life Alert and Barefoot wines.

A while back on the program, you and Cameron discussed websites for purchasing cars. What were the websites that were touted? In the market for a car and they would be helpful. Thanks.

Carson Cistulli, Quasi-Analyst. Aside from wanting to see that on a business card (or at least on his byline here) I’d also like to see Carson apply it to his basic stats calculations. Quasi-Average. Quasi-Deviation. Quasi-Mode. Oh.

Wasn’t Schilling specifically comparing “Muslim Extremists” to “Nazis” and “Muslims in general” to “Germans in general”?

I have heard a lot of comments to the effect that he compared Muslims to Nazis (including on this podcast), but that seems to just be people failing to understand how analogies work and wanting to attack an easy target.

Makes his critics look pretty stupid and unsophisticated.
