FanGraphs Audio: Len Kasper and Lenny DiNardo Talk Music

Listen Later

57 minutes

Episode 936

On this week’s show, a pair of Lens talk about the intersection of music and baseball. Plus, an extended conversation about Joey Votto.

At the top of the program, David Laurila welcomes Len Kasper and Lenny DiNardo for a conversation that is a bit more about tunes than baseball. Lenny shares what it was like to face the Yankees in his major league debut back in 2004, and how baseball science has changed since then. Meanwhile, Len shares his pick for the best rock album ever and what it was like to sing in front of the Wrigley faithful. The trio also go deep on their favorite musically-inclined current and former players. [2:32]

In the second half, Jay Jaffe is joined by C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic to discuss the surging Cincinnati Reds and their fascinating first baseman. Jay wrote about Votto’s hot streak a few weeks ago, while Trent recently chronicled the Canadian slugger’s milestones and quest for Cooperstown, and the pair are eager to swap stats and stories. They also discuss what it was like to cover late-career Ken Griffey Jr. in Cincinnati, Votto putting himself into the NL MVP race, emulating Ted Williams, and the legend of Joey Moppo. [32:31]
