Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
WHERE’S HERB ALPERT?
Forgive me, I had only listened to 1.8 seconds before I decided that another vestige of greatness on Fangraphs was being destoryed.
^destroyed
Destoryed is a new verb that means changed in ways that make some people uncomfortable.
Hmm, I think a better alternative to having Kiley just being a recurring guest might be for him to just host his own podcast. I think it would suit his personality better as this episode didn’t show the best chemistry between Kiley and Carson. It lacked the classic Cistulli banter I love.
A subdued, reined in Carson is much more tolerable.
A subdued, reined in Cistulli is not why people listen to Fangraphs audio. ESPN has podcasts. Niches mang.
“This was not a good podcast you need to fix this.”can’

can’t wait to get into some guys
I think that Kiley will be a great addition. I enjoyed his marginal prospects podcast. The draft one with Jim Callis was excellent.
1)I like the concept of having more prospect as the system warrants ( so the epic Royals system could have bunch and the 2014 Angels and 2011 White Sox could have 0). But how will you separate from say #17 and #18, it seems very arbitrary
2)I would like OFP on scouting reports, projected role, and maybe something like BP’s new “Eyewitness Scouting Reports” as a model
3)I hope you are the next Kevin Goldstein, start wearing fedoras,talking about what you are drinking in a 2 hour podcast,bragging about talking to Scott Boras, a moving on to a big position with a big league team, not a shitty “too much travel, no pay, and shitting in a McDonalds” scouting job.
I enjoyed the musical introduction. But it was very silly.
Generally excellent, but wildly deficient in Raggaeton Horn.
Like everything from song to chatter can’t wait for more.
“I’m going to be that ugly American”
Going to be?
Finally the dominant sports bar masculinity that Fangraphs has been lacking! I especially enjoyed learning of Kiley’s flight from privilege into selective internships, and his church trip to the Dominican!
