PRODUCTIVE OUTS

Great show. Long show. Lot of emails. We laughed together, we cried together. We maybe even learned something. About each other — and about ourselves. 

There was also Hunter Pence.

Here’s the rundown … 

SO MANY EMAILS

Musical Guest: KVELERTAK. Their new album is called MEIR, and it rules.

Human Guest: Jason Collette of BaseballProspectus, the Towers Of Power Fantasy Hour Podcast, Rotowire, TheProcessReport, & RJBullpen (Did we miss anything?)

Baseball Things: We are obliged to talk about them.

• Ian’s trip to Houston for the BP event
• In da SFG clubhouse
• Ankiel’s new home

What’s Next?

FAREWELL, INTERNET

We’re on something of a roll here: two shows in two weeks! And they’re both really good, if we do say so ourselves. (We do.)

Here’s the haps.

Your (Expurgated) Emails

Musical Guest: Cult Of Luna

Human Guest: Marc Normandin of SBNation, Over The Monster and elsewhere

Greetings, friends.

We are without a “special human guest” this week, so you’re stuck with 75 minutes of the two of us reading email novellas from crazy people, rambling about discussing baseball-type things and melting your face with the music of Fight Amp.

Enjoy!
