Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about players being paid for on-field, in-game interviews, pitcher injuries and pitcher call-ups, how low Oakland’s attendance could go (and whether the team might bungle its move to Las Vegas), the NL West race, the AL East’s strength compared to the AL Central’s, which team invented the in-dugout home run ritual, whether the Angels should sign Gary Sánchez, Bryce Harper’s return, the Marlins’ record in one-run games, Colin Holderman and nominative determinism, and more, plus a Past Blast (1:18:13) from 2002.Audio intro: Ian Phillips, “Effectively Wild Theme”Audio outro: The Shirey Brothers, “Effectively Wild Theme”Link to report about player paymentsLink to Emma on in-game interviewsLink to Ben on in-game interviewsLink to article on Rockies tryingLink to FG’s prospect rankingsLink to Millers gameLink to lowest 2023 attendanceLink to lowest 2022 attendanceLink to lowest 1990-2019 attendanceLink to ’97 White Sox game storyLink to Passan’s A’s tweetLink to 2014 Dodgers bubbles storyLink to 2013 A’s tunnel storyLink to 2023 HR celebrationsLink to Twins HR celebrationLink to Sam on WS dogpilesLink to Sam on walk-off celebrationsLink to Mariners trident storyLink to article on AL East strengthLink to depth charts standingsLink to playoff oddsLink to Jay Jaffe on the YankeesLink to Yankees IL tweetLink to combined WAR leaderboardLink to MLBTR on SánchezLink to catcher depth chartsLink to Sánchez’s Savant pageLink to article on Sánchez’s defenseLink to Angels coaches tweetLink to Ben C. on HarperLink to BaseRuns recordsLink to Holderman’s game logLink to 2002 Past Blast sourceLink to 2002 source, cont’d.Link to David Lewis’s TwitterLink to David Lewis’s Substack Sponsor Us on Patreon Facebook Group Twitter Account EW Subreddit Effectively Wild Wiki iTunes Feed (Please rate and review us!)
