Show notes
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Mason Miller’s hand fracture, the extremely slow pitches of Ildemaro Vargas, a Dylan Cease no-hitter, the punchless Mariners, the impending return of Rich Hill, what the teams with the toughest decisions at the trade deadline should do, updates on Clayton Kershaw (good!) and Mike Trout (not good!), Christian Yelich’s back, the ageless Carlos Santana, Juan Yepez as the new Joey Meneses, follow-ups on Aaron Judge’s zone rate and Oneil Cruz, a CBA change to mitigate the effects of the cable bubble bursting, and more. Then (1:21:55) they talk to Richie Flores, second VP of the National Beep Baseball Association and player for the Bayou City Heat, about the development of the sport and the league, and the Beep Baseball World Series.Audio intro: Jonathan Crymes, “Effectively Wild Theme 2”Audio outro: Luke Lillard, “Effectively Wild Theme”Link to Kotsay quoteLink to reporter clarificationLink to ESPN on MillerLink to Ben’s songLink to MLBTR on ArozarenaLink to Vargas pitchesLink to Vargas clipLink to Holt’s slowest pitchLink to list of slowest pitchesLink to Petriello tweetLink to Fast on slowest pitchLink to Simmons tweetLink to Tyson tweetLink to Quora on slowest pitchLink to Cease statsLink to highest pitch countsLink to MLBTR on HillLink to Hill on EWLink to Hill Stat BlastLink to Trout storyLink to Yelich storyLink to Santana/Martinez storyLink to previous Judge banterLink to Judge beforeLink to Judge afterLink to previous Cruz banterLink to Drellich on TV revenueLink to previous beep episodeLink to NBBA.orgLink to World Series infoLink to NBBA teamsLink to NBBA boardLink to NBBA on TwitterLink to NBBA on YouTubeLink to NBBA on FacebookLink to Richie’s podcastLink to Beep bookLink to Beep book Q&ALink to article on RichieLink to Texas Monthly on beep ballLink to news clip 1Link to news clip 2Link to MLBTR on PukLink 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!)
