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.

A Saturday release for this would be great as there usually aren’t any posts going up over the weekend.

Lord Cistulli, last podcast you were speaking about wanting a wOBA leaderboard. Well, there’s this great site called Fangraphs…

Regarding adding time between pitches into NERD, I believe that recent Pitch F/X data has timestamps for pitches.

Guys i love the Fangraphs audio, but why is there so much time in between the taping of this and when it actually appears on the site? I mean Galarraga’s perfect game seems like ancient history already. Cant you guys record it today and have it up by tonight or tomorrow? It’d be nice to hear you’re guys thoughts on the Strasburg debut, like today or tomorrow rather than a week from now…

Jack Zduriencik could have given you this same response when you complained that the Mariners were sticking with bad players for too long.

We’re all fans here and I think a weekend release would be beneficial for everyone. There aren’t as many posts on the weekend for it to get lost in and it would be more topical, both of which should help to bring in more listeners.
