This episode is Part 1 of something. Of what? We don’t know! We’re stuck at home without baseball, so Resting Pitchface will be bringing you Food Science and Books: Because You’re Stuck In Your House Too. Also featuring any other household tips we can think of, like what to do with old shirseys. Sometimes baseball players get it right; be like Zack Greinke and wash your hands!
RPFP Interlude: Part One of Something
Welcome to Resting Pitchface 2020! In this episode we have ongoing thoughts about the ongoing Astros sign stealing scandal, including clear vinyl clothing, noise making opportunities, and MK-Ultra. We also talk about we can control in this era of MLB void crabs.
Now taking new favorite player applications.
Episode 57: World Series Branded Bucket
The Nationals won the World Series. We're here to deal with the fallout, positive, and, unfortunately, negative. Sports sometimes make it hard to be a fan, but we've got our community when it's good and when it gets tough. We've also got our corkboards and strings to catch some Astros. Resting Pitchface brings out the math and Aníbal Sánchez gets a pocket calculator. Or a slide rule? We're going to miss you Gerardo Parra /shark emoji
Episode 56: A Poor Place To Be That Undressed
WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS BABY
Since we've had a new parody song before every postseason series, obviously we couldn't stop now... and what better Nats World Series anthem than the most iconic song from Damn Yankees, with a bit of a Nats-themed twist? Enjoy, and don't forget, TFU TFU TFU!
To the World Series and BEYOND!
NLCS HERE WE COME!
You heard a teaser in our post-Wild Card Not A Real Episode... now you can listen to the full track of the latest song in the Resting Pitchface Parody Catalogue! With love and apologies to Anthony Rendon.
We won an elimination game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When we recorded this, the Nationals had a magic number of 4, now it’s 0! We did proactively thank the Cardinals. We also discussed the Nats’ identity crisis, the strange case of the September not-call-ups, and the various existential hats we’re all wearing. All with the Resting Pitchface flair of Rocky Horror tangents and baseball karaoke.
Episode 55: A Highly Relatable Hat
The women's national baseball team won gold in the Pan Am Games! Guess some coverage would have been nice. Shrug. Emoji. On the homefront, Max is back, hopefully no longer trying to herd the rest of the dugout. Shockingly, we think Rendon deserves a contract extension. No one deserves those player weekend jerseys. Not even Southern Thunder.
Episode 54: Fiddler on the Roof Rabbi-Copter
We’re back after a life hiatus. Luckily women’s baseball didn’t take a hiatus, with a new European tournament and the fifth year of Baseball For All (go DC Force). If you missed Women in Baseball Week, Baseball Prospectus has a tag for that. Oh yeah, the Nats made some trade moves and our bench is the danciest, colored-glasses wearing-est, happiest place to be.
Resting Pitchface still wants more pet trade data. We’ve identified a gap in the market.
Episode 53: Lefty Relievers Below Replacement
There’s nothing wrong with Ohio; a couple Nats are going! Hope Tony eats a cannoli and no one gets hurt, there’s still a (1/2) season to play. And right now, there’s baseball in London and in New York a Toni Stone production, and in DC Adam Eaton is super bad at hot takes~
A Resting Pitchface hipster episode, bring your butterfly nets.
Episode 52: Where’s The Amphibious Pitcher
The optimal product of baseball should be fun baseball and the Nationals are making that a bit easier of late. (Vote Rendon.) We here at Tangents R Us are certainly having a better time, as are a number of Nats pitchers. (Vote Rendon.) This time we have some on-field reporters from Night Out, thoughts on language acquisition, big dogs, All Star Game fashion (have we mentioned Vote Rendon?), and more tangents. Vote Rendon!
Episode 51: Shawn Kelley Glove Fund
Resting Pitchface returns from the Eastern Women’s Baseball Conference Diamond Classic with some wisdom the Nationals could use: Lean in with your boobs. Not your head, Victor Robles. If the season is going to be what it keeps on being, the Nats should at least make sure the kids (Soto, Robles, et al) are alright. And with the season being what it is, we’ll keep on doing what we do, which in this instance is casting the team as Avengers, because why not.
Episode 50: Please Unsnap Dusty
Resting Pitchface is a niche bookstore this week! The Nats have us in a weird place emotionally. They might be the squibs of MLB but there are at least a few smart cats giving us something to be happy about. The rest is a repetitive series of bad decisions, institutional exploitation, and, possibly, a finishing school. Bees?!?
Episode 49: Rick Ankiel’s Finishing School
If we had our way, we’d be talking about “wiggling entertainingly everywhere” for the whole episode. Being Nats fans, however, we can’t not discuss the bullpen. From Yipsitis to stolen eyewear, Resting Pitchface runs the gamut on the theme. Feat. Heel turns, power tools, and RPFP greatest hits.
Episode 48: Seal Tank Romeo & Juliet
Look, Bryce is gone. We have some feelings and opinions about that. It’s Resting Pitchface, we have feelings and opinions about everything. For example, how many Matts are on the Nats (spoilers: a lot), whether any of these new rule changes are going to fix anything (spoilers: they aren’t) , and should we resign DSpan (spoilers: we should).
We spend as much time talking about Bryce Harper as we do taking about goats. We’ll leave it to you to determine what’s the best use of our time (spoilers: it’s goats).
Episode 47: Shirtless & Slightly Douchey
Spring training is upon us and Resting Pitchface is back to talk about all the free agents yet to find their forever homes. Free agents are basically stray cats, right? We also say our goodbyes to Frank Robinson, discuss potential tight races in the NL, and make some space for more Grammar Time with Resting Pitchface. We didn’t mean to call Opportunity Curiosity, we swear we know better.
Episode 46 - And We’re Back To That
Resting Pitchface is back even though baseball still isn’t. We discuss the offseason moves the Nats (and a few select others) have made and what that could mean for 2019. As always with us, there’s more: telepathy as a performance enhancing drug, what can be done to protect Wilson Ramos’ hamstrings, and who's who of the /checks notes, Reds?, just to name a few. Don't worry, the elephant in the Nats' outfield gets some coverage too.
