Radio Scouts Blog

[P2F]

I thought I could keep all the blog posts to one thread, so as to not clutter up the main page with a smorgasbord of different threads for each article.

 

We are now officially live at https://www.radioscouts.com, and the first two articles have been posted - a welcome article from yours truly and a fantastic piece from Laika about the Carson Cistulli hiring.

Almost gave you way too much in Patronage. Excellent first article. Shared with J-Money. Nick, excellent article even if there were way too many big words for me.

[P2F]

f*** yes.

You are actually half right, it was invented in Toronto.

Did you do a lot of acid as a young adult?

I have finally achieved my dream of being a forum moderator

[Carlos Danger]

I actually think that Boxcar would be a good mod. Regardless if I agree with him, or if he agrees with you, he seems fair, not dictorial and understands the concept of not oppressing differing opinions, even if they are not in alignment with yours.

Lol I appreciate that but me being a mod wouldn't jive with a few of the current mods as well as juiced himself. The whole nod thing is just a joke

Never tried it, do you have some? Never tried any hard drugs for that matter, never.

 

I am just here trying to keep the board vibrant. I don't need drugs when my wit and humor come naturally

you can't ban 02 as mod...I tried many times myself.

[Spanky99]

He's the Admin's super mod, he's said as much.

Does O2 even log in to this forum anymore?

I did some hardcore Stat Scouting on the farm:

Pardinho

Winckowski

Murray

Watts

Castillo

Murphy

Yennsy

McClelland

Bergen (baby come back...)

Thornton

 

Some of these names might be new to some of you - particularly the short season dudes.

I know a guy who knows a guy who once talked to his parents at a game.

 

Wow!

Good piece, friendo. Really liked the 7' 120 lb guy reference, lol.

Jays from the Couch got an interview with Shapiro. You guys should be able to score Atkins. Maybe even have him on the podcast.

[Boxcar]

We can't even get North on

 

That being said of course I'd love to interview Atkins myself just no idea how we have the connections to make it happen

[P2F]

I'm of the mind that it's easier to book interviews than one would probably think - maybe not with a Shapiro/Atkins-type, but in general. Getting a writer or someone of a similar ilk from within the industry would likely be a piece of cake.

[King]

get Carson on the podcast

[P2F]

get Carson on the podcast

 

This would be fantastic.

Either create a Radio Scouts Linkedin account or add it to one of yours and use that for the ask. It just comes off as more professional than an email.

Love the notification feature. Reading Nick's new article now.

This is part 2 of the Stat Scouting the Farm thing. This is the hitters.

 

Excuse the length, but there were lots of names and I decided not to outright cut any of them.

Was Samad Taylor considered too prospecty?
