Effectively Wild Episode 1089: A Very Odd Way of Walking

July 27, 2017

EWFI

Ben Lindbergh and Jeff Sullivan banter about Shohei Otani, another strange stance, and Eduardo Nunez, then answer listener emails about players owning particular teams, a potential tagging-up loophole, the all-time record for grounding into double plays, the negative interpretation of the White Sox rebuild, trading for players who would have played one’s opponents, switch-hitters with big splits, a world in which the Astros are still in the NL Central, Mike Trout’s consistency, offering advice to players, Satchel Paige’s stats, Alex Verdugo’s off-the-head homer, and more.

Audio intro: Chuck Berry, "You Can’t Catch Me"
Audio outro: The Baseball Project, "Satchel Paige Said"
