Effectively Wild Episode 1282: Play-By-Playoffs
Ben Lindbergh and Jeff Sullivan banter about the response to their writing about the demise of the starting pitcher, the sources of their unease about baseball’s bullpen takeover, and the difficulty of previewing playoff rounds, then set up and break down the Astros-Red Sox ALCS and the Dodgers-Brewers NLCS and revisit the dullness of the division series round. After the break (37:50), they bring on Britni de la Cretaz to discuss her feature for The Ringer about why women broadcasters are still severely underrepresented in play-by-play roles.
Audio intro: Miniature Tigers, "Like or Like Like"
Audio interstitial: Land of Talk, "Got a Call"
Audio outro: Shy Boys, "Champion"

I make a point to listen to WFAN because of Susan. But she has done her share of “cloud shouting” this season too. Progress?
When you listed the least hittable pitch pitchers (Jace Fry, Neris, etc.) I knew them all, thanks to OOTP simulation – it has been finding me great bullpen arms for my fantasy squad a year or two in advance for a few years now.
I like your post and so glad read this. Thank you so much to allowing me here. I am user of windows 10 operating system and like to tell about clipboard history feature in this desktop. This is a very good information. Thanks again!
