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!

“I can’t imagine she’s not barren” is a remarkable, remarkable observation.

I want to see the picture of Cistulli protesting with the old people and holding the sign.

I humbly submit that ‘falling out of the attic’ should refer to a sudden and inexplicable drop off in the performance of a top level player. Tim Lincecum, for example, fell out of the attic in 2012.

I’ll be very sad for a very long time when I don’t get to listen to these stupid conversations every month. Thank you.
