Show notes
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the bounceback season of Trevor Rogers, the NL Cy Young race, career achievement awards, observations from a Shohei Ohtani start, the NL West race, and the significance of the Pohlads’ decision not to sell the Twins. Then (42:36) they answer listener emails about check-swing appeals, how the changing media landscape could affect fandom, streak freezes, when a game is tied, scattering hits, walk-away wins, Red Sox pain vs. Yankees pain, Toronto’s run differential, and Adam Dunn vs. Kyle Schwarber.Audio intro: Gabriel-Ernest, “Effectively Wild Theme”Audio outro: Ian Phillips, “Effectively Wild Theme”Link to Rogers leaderboardLink to Rogers tattoo episodeLink to NL WAR leaderboardLink to Academy Honorary AwardLink to outfield defense laggardsLink to public enemy no. 1 clipLink to Ohtani pitch usageLink to splitter to RengifoLink to Padres/Dodgers fun factLink to Dodgers FG postLink to Sportico on the TwinsLink to The Athletic on the TwinsLink to Manfred on the saleLink to “sell the team” storyLink to umpire manualLink to Sam on the umpire manualLink to KBO check-swing storyLink to Duolingo mascot storyLink to “Railroad Daddy”Link to team wins since 2018Link to blowout-adjusted PythagLink to gradient winsLink to Ben on Dunn vs. PierreLink to Poscast episodeLink to listener emails database 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
