Tony Blengino interview on 710 AM ESPN Seattle's Hot Stove League

I started listening to the Hot Stove league show tonight on KIRO-710 ESPN, just barely soon enough to hear the very end of the interview with Tony Blengino.  It was awesome...and now I'm desperate to hear the rest of it!

Does anyone know if there is a way to listen to a recording of the program? Does 710 AM post recordings of their broadcasts or interviews anywhere?  Thanks!

 

Anyone have any thoughts on the interview?

What I have a hard time believeing is...

That given how intelligent the seattle area is in general (lots of high tech industry, etc), that the Mariners didnt get intelligent earlier! What took so long!

Listened to the whole interview

I was relieved was Shannon Drayer said F-I-P because I thought they were going to continue to dance around these stats without actually naming a single one.

I liked "You have to look past the strikeouts...

A strikeout is just an out. Its better than a double play"

Yes.

What a change from the previous regime’s philosophy. I also loved when, while talking about Felix, Blengino named missing bats and getting ground balls as the things that make Felix great. I mean, we all already knew this FO gets it, but every time we can hear it for ourselves again is just great.

YES!

In reply to what things are great about a pitcher, he named:
Missing Bats.
Getting Ground Balls.
Going deep into games.

Basically: Swinging Strike%, GB%, Innings Pitched.

Yay!

I also like 'Stat of the Week'.

Tony gave a detailed explanation of UZR, on the radio. Awesome!

I really don't like Rick Rizzs.

Tony Blengino, on the other hand, sounds awesome.

Fuck Anaheim.

Yeah, Rizzs' comments are annoying.

Like when he basically says that scouts are more important than stats, and you have to ‘see it with your eyes’. And then tony and Shannon basically contradict him ans say that both are important.
