No Cheering in the Press Box

Episode 997 With four teams remaining in the postseason, this week we put our fan hats on before meeting a talented new FanGraphs contributor. In the first segment, resident Phillies fan Michael Baumann is joined by site Padres fan Jason Martinez to discuss the NLCS. Jason was at the first two games in San Diego, while Michael will be at each of the next three in Philly; neither expected their team to get this far. We hear about Jason working as a field timing coordinator, Michael being more scared of Manny Machado than Juan Soto , the experience of facing (and watching) Blake Snell , their shared adoration for Jorge Alfaro and Jake Cronenworth , and Jason almost having to help Ralph Sampson to break up a stadium fight. [2:56] After that, Dan Szymborski welcomes Davy Andrews for his podcast debut. Davy recently joined the site as a contributor. We hear how he found himself at FanGraphs before learning more about his musical projects . The duo also discuss Jose Altuve ’s recent struggles and future Hall of Fame chances, the playoffs being a bit of a crapshoot , what the Dodgers should do in the offseason, being fun uncles, and their strong opinions about baking and cookies.
