Sinopsis
To quote Dr. Evil, "The details of our lives are quite inconsequential." What's important is that we like fantasy, as it applies to the genre and the game derived from baseball statistics. We also enjoy developing analytical and computational tools for supporting the latter habit. Our goal is to share our fantasy baseball tools with a little help from the fantasy genre for context, allusion, and (fire and) ice breaking. In doing so, we hope to broaden the way our audience approaches fantasy baseball. Our podcast presents our methods to the public in the spirit of OpenSource - through freely helping others we promote active conversation that improves our tools.
