Rany Jazayerli interviews Chris Hayes. An excerpt:
RJ: Have you read Moneyball?
The author Michael Lewis discussed Chad Bradford’s development as a
pitcher, and how Bradford’s delivery also dropped from sidearm to
submarine over time. Do you see any parallels between your development
as a pitcher and his?
CH: I have read Moneyball,
and as far as parallels…I’m trying to remember back to my geometry
days. I believe it was somewhere around Theorem 3-7 that stated if two
lines were perpendicular to the same line, then those lines are
parallel. I think both Bradford and my arms are perpendicular to the
ground when we throw, so yes, I think we are parallel.
My intellect just swooned a little. The whole interview is fantastic, and there is a Part II coming on Monday. I cannot wait.

CH: Everybody knows the lower you throw the cooler you are. I’m pretty sure Ziegler has a Chris Hayes shrine in his room. As a submariner, I’m as cool as they come, so I, of course, have a shrine to the Jonas Brothers on my wall.
Nice.

Yeah! I had a really hard time picking just one quote to highlight. Given that I posted this at 3-something in the morning, part of my brain wanted to just copy and paste the whole thing.
Part II is tomorrow!
