Show notes
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about how Jorge López has done since his release from the Mets, Juan Soto‘s underrated dominance, George Springer’s post-replay rage, whether the Rangers are a candidate for Angels-esque August waiver shenanigans, whether Dodgers pitchers are particularly prone to Tommy John surgeries, and the divisive value of Salvador Perez. Then (41:56) they welcome high-school student Bailey Hall, who won an award for the best poster presentation at SABR 52, for a guest Stat Blast about scoring after leadoff walks vs. leadoff singles, followed by (1:10:19) a postscript on recent team TJ totals.Audio intro: Justin Peters, “Effectively Wild Theme”Audio outro: Beatwriter, “Effectively Wild Theme”Link to Lopez EW episodeLink to Lopez ERA leaderboardLink to team RP WARLink to Judge on SotoLink to best post-Bonds seasonsLink to WAR through age 25Link to Springer clipLink to MLB.com on SpringerLink to BP piece on HBP replaysLink to Becker on the RangersLink to Rosenthal on the RangersLink to MLBTR on RyanLink to Dodgers threadLink to TJ dataLink to Baumann on PerezLink to Jaffe on PerezLink to Perez Reddit postLink to Ben on HoF framingLink to Stat Blast song coverLink to SABR 52 infoLink to SABR post on BaileyLink to Bailey’s posterLink to tweet about BaileyLink to Tango on BaileyLink to past research 1Link to past research 2Link to past research 3Link to past research 4Link to past research 5Link 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!)
