PRODcast 78: Blaine Boyer, Guillermo Rodriguez & Justin Thomas Walk Into A Bar ...
Productive Outs
The PRODcast

… and the bartender says, “Here’s your DFA. See ya.”

(It’s funny because it’s true.) 

Some items of business:

- We ask that you please rate and review the show on iTunes, whether or not you listen to it via iTunes. Please. 

- You can follow Riley on twitter @rileybreck and Ian @teen_archer. You probably already follow@ProductiveOuts, but if not, you can! Because this is America. 

Now, on to the show!

- First comes the open, where we babble. (0:00-5:01)

- Then come the emails, where you babble. (5:39-30:26)

- Next up is the musical guest, which is FLOOR. Buy “Oblation” here. (31:12-36:13)

- After that are the baseball things! (36:13-1:10:36)

  • Michael Pineda is not smart
  • The BARVES backed their way into a ridiculous pitching staff (and are very good)
  • Also, what the hell, Brewers?!?
  • Speaking of: you should never swing your bat in the dugout: Braun vs. Segura
  • Bryce Harper’s thumb
  • Ben & Sam’s “Hustle” Questionaire on today’s Effectively Wild
  • Sonny Gray is good
  • So are Collin McHugh and Garrett Richards
  • Christopher Russo is a thing

- The musical advice happens here, but it’s less an advice request and more of, y'know, just a question. What are the first and last albums listed alphabetically in your iTunes? (1:11:21-1:25:33)

- And then the farewell. Bye!

Zoom The Puig Destroyer Daily, 6/18/2013. All the P.D. news that fits. Midday update to the update: Riley answered some questions over at Dodgers Blue Heaven.  We’re mentioned in today’s Mercury News, and Scott gets singled out for his contributions.   Yasiel himself listened to “One Man, Five Tools” and deemed it “very good.” More than 14,000 other people have listened to it, too.  We have sweet t-shirts.  We have a Bookface and a Tweeter. Ian answered some questions over at Decibel.  We were mentioned on Yahoo, USA Today, NBC Sports, and elsewhere.   We’re a little behind schedule, but we hope to have the debut EP posted in the next few days. Watch this space, or just refresh the bandcamp site obsessively.  We’re talking to a couple of labels about a physical (vinyl) release. More on this story as it develops.  We continue to be blown away by the amazing response our goofy band is getting. Thank you for listening, supporting, spreading the word, and generally being awesome. Fuckin’ high-five.

  • Musical guest: TIGON, with tracks from their new record, Infinite Teeth.
  • Who are the worst hitters in the big leagues so far this season?
  • Holy shit, the Astros are bad.
