High Heat Stats Podcast High Heat Stats

Adam and Andy sit down to discuss the Veterans Committee Hall of Fame voting process, the SABR Overlooked 19th Century Baseball Legends commitee, the Gary Thurman 1988 Topps blog post I made 5 years ago, playoff format and timelines, as well as delve into a bit of trivia about Rockies and Marlins managers.

Follow the links above to learn more about some of the things we discuss, and follow Adam on Twitter @baseballtwit.

The group reviews Out of the Park Baseball (simulation software) and also meets up for lunch to discuss our goals in writing about baseball. One note: in the podcast I saw that OOTP 14 is taking pre-orders… that’s wrong. The game is out already and available to play right now!

Sully from the Sully Baseball Daily podcast (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/sully-baseball-daily/id580843151) comes on to tackle the same trivia questions from Episode 8! Can he beat the High Heat Stats team?

At the beginning of the podcast, Sully talks about the hat you see in his photo, taken during the recording of this episode.

Dalton, Bryan, and Dan rumble with more baseball trivia, and one of them ends up controlling the fate of the other two.

Bryan, Dalton, Dan, & Andy toss around the questions of hitting with runners in scoring positions and the quality & intent of umpiring, and also make cases for a few guys they’d like to see in the Hall of Fame.

Andy wracks the brains of Dan, Dalton, and Bryan. Accusations and name-calling abound.
