FanGraphs Audio: Dayn Perry Saves Christmas

Episode 709
Dayn Perry is a contributor to CBS Sports’ Eye on Baseball and the author of three books — one of them not very miserable. He’s also the unlikely hero on this edition of FanGraphs Audio.

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.

Any chance of a written transcript for hearing-impaired NotGraphs aficionados?

I am never disappointed by how much these two amuse each other. May your cement mixer never stop turning.

Carson, I feel like you are walking a tight rope between David Letterman and Paul Shaffer. Double breasted suits and tacky glasses – hair optional. Maybe a sprinkling of Norm when you occasionally make a joke.

Have you considered fangraphs video interviews? Perhaps build your own studio? Your interviewees could speaks through a poorly animated megalodon.
