FanGraphs Audio: Sig Mejdal on Analytics, Eric Longenhagen on His Journey Here | FanGraphs Baseball

I haven't listened to it yet but it's on my list for today!  Sig and Eva Rosenbaum.

 

[Frobby]

I just tuned in, it’s about 20 minutes long.  Honestly, I can’t say I learned anything new.  Eve Rosenbaum is not on the podcast, Sig was just asked a question about her role on the team relative to his.  Probably the only thing I learned was that Sig hadn’t heard the nice things that Austin Voth and Spenser Watkins had said about how the Orioles’ analytics had helped them.

I was glad to hear the respect Sig has for scouts.

I like Elias, but I think Sig is the most valuable person in the front office.

You've just got to find the right job for him.

At the Birdland Caravan event at Crooked Crab Brewing, he was not doing a good job pouring beers.   Certain of the higher alcohol beers are supposed to go in smaller glasses and he was having trouble keeping that straight.

So they sent him out to bus tables and return empty beer glasses to the bar, and he did a fantastic job there.

Actually, I was at the bar when this happened and he was right in front of me. When one of the managers told him what he was doing wrong,  Sid suggested going around with a tray to pick up empty glasses. He realized his limitations and found his own new job. lol

Sounds like a guy who isn’t looking to move up to a GM job.

Sig considers Applebee's to be bad food. Key takeaway.

I don't think Applebee's mom likes Applebee's.

Do they still have the riblets?   Those were the little boneless rib pieces.   They were quite tasty the last time I went to Applebee's.   Which was probably last century or at best very early in this one.

The most fun thing about Applebee's is getting kicked out of Applebee's.
