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.

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.

If I can be just half as not very miserable as Dayn Perry’s book, I’ll be somewhat happy.
I discovered that noted Canadian Jazz bassplayer, Dave Young, does not have an English Wikipedia page. He does however have a German one.

That car reparking interlude was pretty awesome.
Vernacular is not the only thing he slipped into…
If you can’t tell the difference it’s the coffee you’re buying. Your mongrel’s coffee.
Carson, if you were to be subjected to the malaise known as auto-brewery syndrome or beer-gut, what would the the mouth-feel of the resulting liquid be comparable to?
Carson, your remark about the 50$ vs. 50c distinction reminded of My great uncle (a man of considerable – really considerable wealth) giving my cousin 100$ For Christmas when said cousin was but 4, I think. Anyways my cousin rejected the bill because it wasn’t shiny.
Was Dayn Perry vomiting during this interiew? I could not place the loud noises he was making.
The Band Perry refers to the esteemed guest as simply The Blogger Perry.
