Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about a new browser game called Homer Hindsight, where all the players placed on waivers ended up, the White Sox promoting Chris Getz and the continued comeback of the ex-player GM, Brandon Lowe’s Yankees trash talk, whether load management has diminished the grind, updates to the strike zone and pitch clock in Triple-A, and Bernie Williams’s comments about Shohei Ohtani. Then (42:42) they talk to FanGraphs lead prospect analyst Eric Longenhagen about the wave of top prospects that crested in August (including Noelvi Marte, Ronny Mauricio, Jordan Wicks, Masyn Winn, Jasson Domínguez, Ceddanne Rafaela, Curtis Mead, and Kyle Harrison), the Angels’ and Padres’ aggressive promotions of Nolan Schanuel and Ethan Salas, respectively, prospects who might still debut this season, and the number of prospects named Jackson, followed by (1:31:54) a Future Blast from 2054.Audio intro: Nate Emerson, “Effectively Wild Theme”Audio interstitial: The Gagnés, “Effectively Wild Theme”Audio outro: Justin Peters, “Effectively Wild Theme”Link to Homer HindsightLink to Dan S. on the waiver outcomesLink to Craig Goldstein on the AngelsLink to Patrick Dubuque on the AngelsLink to tweet about Angels payrollLink to MLBTR on GetzLink to Sox Machine on GetzLink to 2017 Getz podcastLink to Getz on Vizquel in 2019Link to Getz on Vizquel in 2023Link to Defector on ReinsdorfLink to Reinsdorf Ohtani quoteLink to Lowe trash talkLink to Russell on the grindLink to Triple-A rules tweaksLink to Passan’s pitch-clock tweetLink to Bernie on ShoheiLink to Rosenthal on Ohtani’s TJ decisionLink to FG top-prospect rankingsLink to story on Mead’s backgroundLink to Waldrep’s Gators pageLink to story on Salas promotionLink to Baumann on SchanuelLink to BA on SchanuelLink to Domínguez baseball cards storyLink to Mauricio’s first hitLink to Domínguez’s first homerLink to Domínguez’s number quoteLink to Yankees uni numbers storyLink to Rick Wilber’s websiteLink to Future Blast wikiLink to One YearLink to Sports Explains the World Sponsor Us on Patreon Facebook Group Twitter Account EW Subreddit Effectively Wild Wiki iTunes Feed (Please rate and review us!)
