    We welcome guest Ed DeCaria from Baseball HQ to talk about his research into the field of playing time. Ed has written some wonderful abstracts in the BHQ Baseball Forecaster about how we can look at playing time in a better lenses than we currently are. He talks about breaking down the plate appearances into several different buckets such as active starts per week, plate appearances per active week and plate appearances per active start.

    Then we get a pop in visit from Jason R.R. Martinez as Jeff Zimmerman summoned him mid pod!

    Enjoy!

Awesome Show!

Come for the fantasy baseball advice, stay for the French-Canadian name pronunciation.

Fun!

One of the most entertaining fantasy baseball pods. Lively and smart.

Glad they are back...

I'm glad to see the show back although I'm sad Van has left. The new Rob seems fine but is way too rambley. Hopefully it's just jitters but the shows are also way too long because he can't seem to keep the guys on track well. Each of the new episodes since they came back is at least an hour and a half long which is fine every now and then but I liked it better when they had tighter shows

I guess that's what having a radio guy does for you, keeps everything running smoothly. The audio quality also took a step back but isn't terrible. Overall glad the show is back I just wish they would put more work into organizing the show or editing it. Hopefully with time things will smooth out with the new guy
