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.

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.

Thoroughly enjoyable – thanks guys

As someone who possesses the properties of being tall, physically fit, good looking, heterosexual, AND the additional qualities resident in crippling shyness and actual Asperger’s Syndrome, engaging with the opposite sex is a uniquely perplexing endeavour, especially when, owing to the first three properties, one is approached by a lass…In the university library, for example. The enormous pressure and discomfort totally overwhelms the biological imperative. I can therefore sympathize with both of you gentlemen in your relationboat’s challenges, my inferior vocabulary notwithstanding.
Great program gentlemen
What would be the worst would be to say “I saw a non-fat version of you.”
CC, if you are interested in the GLM flood here is (at least part of) the Nova special on it. As someone in the WA wine industry we daily geek out over the impact on soil this had. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9PL9ZnMy3w
Also, I saw a slightly fatter, more facially hirsute version of you when I looked up at my Bobby Baumann homemade Fathead tonight.
Really good episode, guys. Carson, I hope you’re just being modest, but if you question yourself you should know that many of the denizens of Internet St. find you to be one of the most unique, interesting and entertaining writers around. Keep doing you, bro.
Phenomenal episode. Perhaps a semi-regular Jeff Sullivan Fangraphs podcast episode is in order. 🙂
I think the idea that producing offspring is a transformative affair is only partly true. That is to say, it tends to be almost entirely true for the female side of the equation. Us guys tend to hold the mistaken belief that having a child should have no effect on the frequency with which we sex our wives, or that our wives want to sex us. It is also true that after that first kid that your wife sexes you only for further reproduction or out of sympathy for you and that any real desire for sexing is played out in their heads with French beekeeping ultramarathoners named Julian.
Positive comment to prevent all content on fangraphs from being written by Eno.
Your Madison friends miss you, Carson! (even the ones that have moved to DC).
