Lookout Landing

Seattle Mariners Podcast from Lookout Landing

Two of these in a row has started us down a potentially dangerously slippery slope. Eventually we might be doing nothing but recording podcasts with all of our time. At least, that's how it works right? You take one step toward something and that means infinity steps are for sure going to happen?

Lookout Landing Podcast with Jeff and Matthew

To those two of you who explicitly stated interest and any of those that silently have interest in helping us edit these things, here's a copy of the "raw" .mp3 audio file in stereo format. If you want to grab that and mix it however you deem best and then e-mail me either a sufficiently sized sample or the whole thing, we'll consider it. And thanks for volunteering. I hope you are satisfied with thanks because thanks are all you are likely to get.

"You probably don't know Matthew and I warm up a long time before we start recording"

You’ve mentioned this in like 40 podcasts now

New listeners brother-sucker
Jeff talks about how the pronunciation of Cespedes is weird

Matthew pronounces it wrong shortly after

Matthew has mispronounced it 3 different ways so far
Will I get Bingo by the end? Stay tuned!
Wieters rhymes with weiners
Poy-threes?

Are you even trying?

If I weren't trying, it would all sound like

“uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”?

I try, but I don’t care.

At about 30 minutes in I was beginning to wonder if you were going to even mention the Mariners
The first time I listened to one of these podcasts

for some crazy reason was the one right before this one. After listening to the last two I have to say, you guys do a great job not only covering the Mariners but just making me crack up in general. I would love to see this become a weekly thing. Keep up the good work.

In case you were still wondering,

seeing a 90+ mph fastball at the plate for the first time is a pants-shittingly terrifying experience.

When I was in high school,

I played a few games against a pitcher who threw in the mid 80s. Turning on that fastball was practically impossible for me. I can only imagine what a 90+ mph fastball would look like.

Also, once you experience a pitch that fast, you start to understand how guys can get fooled and end up in front of pitches. That guy’s change-up absolutely murdered me.

Then again, I was pretty terrible at baseball.

The reaction time needed to even recognize, let alone try to hit a 90 mph fastball...

…is crazy. Here’s a goofy flash animation that demonstrates such. And that’s just trying to get your finger to click on a webpage quickly; not all the moving parts in a decent swing of a baseball bat.

Reaction time: 0.05 seconds

Result: HOME RUN!

I am so set to be a major league star.

Michael Saunders

Sad face.

I never thought I would laugh at oral cancer.
This podcast sounds awesome after 5 shots of vodka.
Coco Crisp is positively overpaid in 2014.

Kurt Suzuki’s making 65 cents that year.

I learned some stuff about volcano trees!

But it might have also been the other one that was recorded earlier in the morning that I should have ,but maybe not might have, but it would be more appropriate if I had actually listened to it in the morning.
Also, it may be entirely possible that I am drunk and listening to a Target commercial in French, so that may be clouding my judgement and/or impressions of the past 12 hours…
