PrintOur third overall podcast and our second attempt all on our own. Over the course of some irritating background noise and some electronic feedback (really sorry), Jeff and I talk about Eric Byrnes, Ryan Garko, the 11 man pitching staff, playing time breakdowns, the catching situation, team projections and dabble on Ian Snell.
This one somehow ran even longer than the previous week's, pushing just under an hour. I also mixed it into stereo for this week so that hopefully, this poll will give y'all an ability to compare stereo vs mono directly by using last week's cast as a contrast.
Lookout Landing Podcast with Jeff and Matthew
Before you state so in the comments, yes, we're getting better microphones. They did not arrive yet, but we hope they do a lot to improve the feed back issues, sorry again. Also, yes, I plan to shorten these up or at least split them into two parts in the future. I've spent too much time today in order to do that for this one but my goal for the future is to keep files around 30 minutes.
For the detailed types, I don't know what's up with the file size. I halved the bit rate and mixed it into mono, it's still large. Any ideas?

I'm a huge fan of that blog title.
Not a huge fan of the blog however.

The bit rate for this week's episode is 128kbps, the same as last weeks. You halved the sample rate.
I changed what CallBurner and Audacity let me change.
I didn’t find anything else to lower
We also offer bedtime story podcasts for $20 a file

"This team is just oodling over with personality!"
I listened to that five times.
I could beatbox for you guys for some music.
I’m not a bat beatbox, either.

I love the Padres from afar on account of oh my god you guys

I want Kyle Blanks to be a Mariner
He just looks like he’d be fun to watch every day.

Me too.
Still amazing how quickly the time passes and doesn’t feel like an hour. You guys both just seem really comfortable with the format now so it’s really easy to listen to. Thanks.
Great stuff.
Once you guys get your nice mics and some theme music you’ll be stars.
Kind of Sounds like
Matthew starts talking through a didgeridoo around 12 minutes in.
Yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
Or maybe he's using a flange pedal.

I haven't yet gotten to listen, but why the attempt to go shorter?
At once a week, I can certainly handle 1 hr. If it’s for the sake of you two (you know, devoting an extra hour plus editing to the site), that’s perfectly sensible. If, on the other hand, it’s because you think we don’t want that much; I would disagree.
This is slowly becoming the baseball highlight of my week.
mainly for file size purposes.
I don’t mean cutting down on content, just splitting it up more
Thanks for the clarification.
I love that idea then.

You guys are off to a good start
You will get the hang of the production quickly, you are doing better than i did at first.
From some baseball biography site, on Bobby Bonilla
“Instead of picking up his $5.9 million salary for the 2000 season, the team pledged to pay him $1,193,248.20 each July 1st from 2011 to 2035 — nearly $30 million all told”
My Mariners blog SodoMojo, My Twitter Feed
Interestingly, or, not, the present value of these payments (assuming an 8% interest rate and starting in 2000) is almost exactly 5.9 million
I wonder if Bobby Bonilla knew this.
Now I know with Figgins it's pronounced "Shawn", but I always just figured with CHONE it was pronounced the way it looks

Rob Johnson is more boring than Langerhans.
I bet Jack Wilson doesn’t have much of an interesting life either.
In that "Oh god I can't look away as Jose Lopez' sibling nears a train track" sense
SPOILER ALERT
The sibling dies.

ZUNE!
I’d love to subscribe, any chance of adding a feed on the Zune marketplace? This is Seattle, there must be enough Zune-owning MS employees to make it worth your time.
1. Download the Zune software (http://www.zune.net/en-us/products/software/download/default.htm)
2. Click Marketplace then Podcasts and select “Submit a Podcast” (scroll down a bit, it’s on the right.)
3. Enter your RSS feed and click Submit.
Actually,
I think there is some tangible benefit to winning a hockey fight.

Not much, but it’s there. I wonder if there is any effect of managers being ejected in baseball.
That would be funny
WPA given to manager ejections.

4th site to join SB Nation?
Interesting. Does anyone know if there’s somewhere we can see the order in which sites joined SB Nation?
Aaron King is still my homeboy... iffy mechanics and all

Re: People jumping on the M's bandwagon
I read Rob Neyer’s ESPN chat yesterday and in it there were a slew of Mariner questions. It instantly took me back to 2003. It’s been a long long time since the team had this much hype. Crazy.
I think Neyer is a closet M's fan after his Royals.
He used to live in Seattle through the nineties and has always focused on them more than the rest of the west coast teams.
Love the podcasts,
And I’m going to love them even more once the microphones dont suck!
Well, it does feel like you've lost something dear to you after listening to this
like… sanity.
I'd sleep at the Internet, but I've found servers don't make for good pillows.

"Brandon Fahey is a puppy...nevermind. Edit that out. I don't know where I'm going with it."
I expect you to fully explain yourself in the next podcast, Jeff.
It's true.
There’s that one picture of him that Poochie used to have as an icon where he’s staring at a ball bouncing his way and the expression looks exactly like a dog waiting for a tennis ball.

The Chris Young description made it worth listening through the tech issues
Yes the Padres suck, but Fan Focus Groups! Camo unis! Cheap(er) beer!
