Show notes
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Nolan Schanuel’s aversion to day games, the Astros reaching .500 and coming for the Mariners, Houston’s weekend opponent (the Mets) making it back to .500 and nearing a playoff spot, the success (and good fortune) of Reynaldo López, the bad fortune of Adam Duvall, and how “expected” stats have changed perceptions of performance, Hunter Greene and vomiting on the mound, a Dodgers bat…man’s clutch catch, Shohei Ohtani’s RBI streak, Ohtani’s dog’s backpack, and pedantic questions (1:20:55) about leaving the bases loaded, when a game is “all” one team, and how umpires signal a full count.Audio intro: Xavier LeBlanc, “Effectively Wild Theme”Audio outro: Liz Panella, “Effectively Wild Theme”Link to Washington quoteLink to Schanuel splitsLink to Sam on Schanuel powerLink to FG playoff oddsLink to ESPN SoSLink to BaseRuns standingsLink to Winker videoLink to BP on Brown’s sinkerLink to Mets Grimace storyLink to McDonald’s wikiLink to Grimace wikiLink to pitcher wOBA-xWOBALink to hitter wOBA-xWOBALink to lowest ERAsLink to xERA-ERA sheetLink to xHR-HRLink to Duvall on cans of poopLink to CBS on GreeneLink to Reynolds videoLink to BP on ReynoldsLink to Greene water tweetsLink to Ben on sick startersLink to Herrera’s playLink to Dodgers batmen storyLink to Ohtani RBI storyLink to SABR on longest streaksLink to longest streaks wikiLink to Ohtani and dog picLink to pet RandoseruLink to Randoseru videoLink to Randoseru articleLink to Randoseru Reddit threadLink to listener emails databaseLink to Montgomery PitchCom clipLink to O’s fan interviewLink to ballpark meetup formsLink to meetup organizer form Sponsor Us on Patreon Facebook Group Twitter Account EW Subreddit Effectively Wild Wiki iTunes Feed (Please rate and review us!)
