Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
I was fortunate enough to play travel ball alongside Joe during the summer circuit in high school. He is one of the best teammates I’ve ever had and truly is an easy person to route for. Thanks for the interview, Carson, I enjoyed it.
Root* sorry for that slip…
Thank you for the nice interview. Joe went through a midseason slump, but seems to be back on the upswing as the season winds down. It would be nice to see either a higher BA and/or more power from him, but maybe that will show up in Fresno. The K/BB continues to be encouraging.
Good Q&A–have to ask though: Is that you or Panik laughing at the background convo?
That was both of us, I believe, at different times. At one point that’s him saying “Sorry” because he laughed aloud. But it was pretty amusing.
Nice interview, thanks for doing it. Panik had some thoughtful answers on being a player from the NorthEast.
