mlbtraderumors really needs to start posting transcripts of their podcasts. Podcasts by nature always contain far too much verbal fluff. A lot of people don’t want to sit through all that. We just want to get to the actual stories.
…like the stories they link above? Some people do want to sit through that on their commute or whatever – that’s the whole point.
The stories they link are not the content of the podcast. That’s why there’s a podcast. Also, some people do want to sit through the podcast, but others don’t. THAT is the whole point. Provide both the podcast AND a transcript.
They have stories about every one of these topics. This is the way for people who don’t want to read about it to get their information they want.
You’re also missing the point completely. The stories provide the initial facts of what happened. The podcasts present analyses of those facts. Why is it so difficult to understand that the podcast and the earlier stories are not the same thing?
People really will complain about anything and everything.
It’s ALL about you, and you’re so right to be outraged – outraged, I tell ya – that your every need isn’t being met. All sympathy.
You seem not to understand what the word “outraged” means. Ask your mommy to explain the difference between “outraged” and “making a suggestion”.
Then don’t listen. These are not life and death reports.
Dear Local Karen. You are sooooooooo entitled.
This is FREE content. FREE.
Maybe pony up the whopping $3 per month and make a minor contribution to something worthwhile. I will call the manager for you, if you would like to file a formal complaint about your free content.
Perhaps Local should listen to the podcast, and then provide the rest of us with a transcript. On his time, with no reimbursement.
Dear Chad. You are soooooooooooo self-centered. It’s a trivial task to provide a transcript, and many people would appreciate it But because it’s not what you prefer, it’s out of the question.
If you start your pitch with MLBTR “really needs” to post transcripts I think you deserve a bit of ragging for sounding self centered (especially, but anyway, if you’re not even a $30 pa subscriber). Whatever happened to a
polite “hey guys, here’s a suggestion “?
*sounding entitled
Would anyone like to buy the St. Louis Cardinals?????
The DeWitts ….. especially Bill DeWitt III,
Seem extremely disinterested in the Team… and have been disinterested over the past 5-6 years!!!
Just wish they would change the Raiders page to Las Vegas instead of Oakland. Thanks
