Show notes
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the stretch run, the “championship season,” the surprising solidity of the playoff picture, and how the playoff field could change before the end of the season. They also discuss the turnarounds of Jeff McNeil and Corbin Carroll, the return on the Rangers’ pitching blueprint, and whether A’s fans should consider supporting other MLB teams. Then (1:02:30) they Stat Blast about hitters who hogged pitches in an inning, Kris Bryant’s Colorado decline, and a claim about catchers and infield hits, with diversions into whether HR-reliant lineups are inconsistent scorers, whether Bryant or Anthony Rendon has been the bigger disappointment, and why broadcasters say the darndest things.Audio intro: Grant Brisbee, “Effectively Wild Theme”Audio outro: Josh Busman, “Effectively Wild Theme”Link to “championship season”Link to FG playoff oddsLink to BaseRuns standingsLink to Baumann on the M’sLink to O’s hydration stationLink to Clemens on CarrollLink to JJH episodeLink to Stat Blast song coverLink to Russell on HR relianceLink to Ryan Nelson’s TwitterLink to pitch-count % dataLink to Rockies/Bryant dataLink to Blum on BryantLink to FB Bryant/Rendon postLink to Sam’s Bryant tweetLink to Casali playLink to Krukow clipLink to Jason Bernard’s TwitterLink to sprint speed tableLink to study on bad-team hittersLink to Ben on hustle singlesLink to Ben on catcher fatigueLink to Tim Kniker on catcher fatigueLink to 2023 C IFH totalLink to all IFH% earlyLink to all IFH% lateLink to C IFH% earlyLink to C IFH% lateLink to non-C IFH% earlyLink to non-C IFH% lateLink to Casali IFH% earlyLink to Casali IFH% lateLink 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!)
