Welcome to episode number 9 of Rowbot Radio! On this edition, Andrew and I discuss our first impressions of the 2010 season.
As many of you know, my computer was hit hard by a virus last week, and as a result, I was unable to properly do a podcast. I reformatted my machine this week, and everything seems to be working fine.
HOWEVER, in the process of reformatting, I lost my editing software and have been unable to reinstall it so far. So, you guys are in for a treat (or a terrible, terrible curse): ROWBOT RADIO UNCUT.
That's right folks, Andrew and I recorded for an hour and seven minutes on Saturday, and for the first time, we have left the entire recording in the podcast. The awkward, pointless exchanges, the inane babbling, the foolish jumping to conclusions... a whole lot of embarrassing idiocy. This also means that for this edition and until I get things fixed up, we're back to the separate stereo channel setup, meaning you'll all need to use both earphones to hear everyone.
It may take a me a few weeks to get everything set up correctly again. In the meantime, we don't have much of a choice other than this. But the show must go one! Maybe some of you will like it this way.

Thanks for your work guys
I hate that you are right about keeping Flores on the team because I don’t think he brings us any benefit over replacing him with Beimel (sp)
I also found myself SCREAMING how right you are about keeping the best defense out there when Cook or Jimenez are starting. I swore that i saw Tulo cringe at the piss poor turn on the double play Sunday. Every time I hear someone comment that Mora has “started everywhere but catcher and pitcher” as some kind of positive about his versatility I want to sit them down and remind them that the reason for that was his teams wanted his bat in the lineup NOT because he could play these positions effectively.
I love the flyball idea of sitting Hawpe and playing Smith, CarGo, and Fowler when Smith pitches.
it is early, but I keep hoping Tracy realizes that he should just go with the A team for the majority of games. Sit Seth Smith, SIT MORA, and only give Giambi a game when one of our groundball machines is not starting. Maybe even do what you said and play Giambi when Smith pitches. Perfect setup as it lets Helton sit one out of 5 games and lets him have 130-135 starts.
TULO MVP 2010, Gold Glove 2010-2024 (The last 3 on merit rather than skill) HOF 2029 on the fact he breaks Bond's HR record in 2017 while voluntarily submitting blood tests for HCG
Yay for Floyd Little HOF . Now lets get Sharpe, Davis, Atwater, Smith, Gradishar, Tom Jackson and all the other Broncos greats in there.

Yes
I like rambling about sports in general so to me it was better. I will say though that the length made it tougher to listen to in one go.

The length is usually much shorter.
We went on for an hour simply because we missed a week. We’ll generally aim shorter, don’t worry. Thanks for your feedback.

I liked the unedited.
Came across very naturally; but I missed the bumper music.
Of course, what does my opinion count, I’m a looser! (Intentional mis-spelling to play along with the comments on other boards.)
Ignorance of the American League is a sign of good moral character.
Look out Dodgers...Purple objects in mirror are closer than they appear.
I intended to put the music in.
I also intended to swap the audio channels for pure stereo. However, Audacity wasn’t cooperating on my reformatted machine. Those things haven’t been forgotten about.

The music is composed my Rowbot Hollidayrain
I selected it out of a list of potential music he gave to me. At some point, if enough people don’t care for it (you’re not the only one who voiced concerns), I may commission him, or someone else if he’s unable or unwilling, to try making a new piece specifically for the cast. FOr now, I think we’re going to keep it though. Thanks for the feedback!

I prefer the edited version.
It’s nice to have some banter, you shouldn’t spend 3 and 1/2 hours on it, but maybe a quick 30-45 minutes edit would be nice.

ken Rosenthal just wrote an article about teams whose bullpens are struggling due to injury
The Rockies were tagged. I was not amused. Then I read the Rockies section that said “The Rockies bullpen has actually performed very well without Huston Street. Imagine when he returns”. Solid work, except for the Beimel oversight

Overall good info...
I do take issue with the thinking that the crowd was not into it on Opening Day. I was sitting in the pavillion and you literally could not go to the bathroom without pushing your way through the crowds of people. Maybe up top people weren’t that into it, but left field was going crazy. There was no elbow room anywhere.

crazy or crowded?
I wasn’t there, so I don’t know, but what you described sounds more like just a crowded…crowd

A little bit of both...
There were obviously the “I’m at Opening Day so that I can tell everyone how drunk I got” fans, but I was actually really surprised at how many people were paying attention to the game.

unedited was pretty good
hearing that you edit it in the first place made think the unedited would be a disaster, but i have to say it was loose and well done.
keep the free flowing vibe. i think you get in a better groove.
more to the editing process: 3 1/2 hours? that’s crazy talk. i do my own podcast and unless there’s a major screw up somewhere in the middle, i just trim up the ends for music and away we go.
keep up the good work. you make me a more knowledgeable fan.
Love the unedited!
It’s less choppy. With the HR music, it’ll be perfect!
This is R year!

Oh, and about Opening Day,
Are you kidding, RMN? it was kinda hot where I was (311) and I got the tan to prove it!
It seemed to me that there was alot of people there, but yes, definitely NOT the most exciting game I’ve been to.
This is R year!

iTunes
I am sure this has come up many times, but I did not want to search through all of the comments. Apologies for raising what is likely an old issue.
Are there any plans to have Rowbot Radio feed to itunes? I subscribe to a number of podcasts and would love to have Rowbot Radio available for long work-outs, etc.
Thanks!
Keep Moving Forward.
You can find it on iTunes.
I set that up back in February. But you need to search for it under a different name. Or just subscribe to it with this link (which can be found on the left sidebar): http://feeds.feedburner.com/DiplomaticAndMilitaryHistoryBookReviewsandWeeklyRowbotRadio
