Carson Cistulli says terrible things at The New Enthusiast.
As avid chewer of big league chew, this episode was a pleasure to listen to.
is that the same Rob Nelson who was an Oakland A’s prospect in the late 1980′s?
No. It’s this Rob Nelson: http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=nelson004rob
He really wasn’t lying about that one win.
Although, to Nellie’s credit, the walk rate in 1976 (3.6 per nine) is pretty good relative to league average (5.2).
thanks…35 minutes was a bit much to listen to…

This is supposed to make me want to listen?
You’d be a lot better off if you weren’t trying so hard to be clever all the time.
No offense.
Could you stop doing:
Intro recorded after interview followed by
Intro recorded before interview where you say “If I have done my job, I have explained to you …” and then you basically repeat the intro?
Either just go with the intro that you have before the interview, or just start the interview and record the intro later. I don’t need two intros that say the same thing.
I’d like to know when the job opening “lucky guy” becomes available. It is refreshing to listen to someone who genuinely enjoys what they do and appreciates life’s blessings.
