Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the long-awaited baseball events that occurred during Ben’s brief vacation, highlighted by Rich Hill’s return to the majors. They also discuss developments involving other quadragenarian pitchers, provide an update on their “2025 in 2025” Patreon campaign, and consider Bryan Woo’s parents’ dedication to attending all of his starts, additional aspects of the Brewers’ success, the Angels’ lack of rotation turnover, Myles Straw vs. Roki Sasaki, and an especially impressive Ronald Acuña Jr. throw. Then (59:10) they bring on author and researcher Mark Armour to talk about the Satchel Paige Project, Mark’s ongoing, yearslong effort to document every game Paige pitched.Audio intro: Nate Emerson, “Effectively Wild Theme”Audio interstitial: The Gagnés, “Effectively Wild Theme 2”Audio outro: Josh Busman, “Effectively Wild Theme”Link to Effectively Wild on PatreonLink to FG post on HillLink to Woo articleLink to Paine on the BrewersLink to Brewers battersLink to Mains on the AngelsLink to Whitley on SorianoLink to pre-ASB SP WARLink to Sasaki/Straw postLink to Ben on MenesesLink to Acuña throwLink to Acuña throw articleLink to Baseball Project songLink to Paige Project articleLink to Mark’s announcement postLink to Paige Project resultsLink to Paige pitching mapLink to most wanted gamesLink to Mark’s websiteLink to Effectively Wild on Patreon Sponsor Us on Patreon Give a Gift Subscription Email Us: podcast@fangraphs.com Effectively Wild Subreddit Effectively Wild Wiki Apple Podcasts Feed Spotify Feed YouTube Playlist Facebook Group Bluesky Account Twitter Account Get Our Merch!var SERVER_DATA = Object.assign(SERVER_DATA || {});Source
