April 21, 2011 BP PodcastEpisode 46: Mr. Drummond Is Bad NewsIt's another podcast, you know the drill. We do emails, we talk about Matt Purke, Mike Leake and when your favorite prospect is getting to the big leagues, and then we have a fascinating talk with Clayton Hamilton, who pitches for the Yokohama BayStars. Interviews with stars are boring. Where else could you get tales of four-figure bonus negotiations, wrongly diagnosed injuries, dominating a beer league and playing during the big earthquake? Nowhere, that's where. Then it's the goofy stuff, with music and why this thing is a day late, yet certainly not a dollar short. As always, we hope you enjoy. Note: We do alert you to the presence of the occasional adult language and subject matter. Don't say we didn't warn you. Up And In Episode 46: "Mr. Drummond Is Bad News"

Playoff Prospectus: PECOTA Odds and ALCS Gam...
Clayton Hamilton interview was phenomenal. So great.
Just listened to the entire interview a second time. Wholeheartedly agree that his story is far more interesting than Albert Pujols'. "I've succeeded at every level in everything I've ever done" isn't nearly as interesting as Hamilton's trials and tribulations. I'm a Hamilton and Bay Stars fan for life now.
My thoughts exactly. What a hell of a story.
