Effectively Wild Episode 1344: Something Old, Something New
Ben Lindbergh (re)introduces new co-hosts Sam Miller of ESPN and Meg Rowley of FanGraphs. Together, they explain the show’s new format and schedule, pay tribute to departed co-host Jeff Sullivan, and answer listener emails about a team made of clones of Ken Griffey Jr., how to reacclimate to baseball after taking an offseason off, and what they’re most anticipating about the 2019 season.

Audio outro: The Lemon Twigs, "As Long As We’re Together"

Wowowowowowowow!
this is so awesome. its hard to replace jeff sullivan, but this is definitely the best way to do it
Yeah! Can’t wait to listen!
A team should hire Meg Rowley soon
You shut your mouth
I know I’m in the minority but I’m not a fan of the new lineup.
Were you a listener in the pre-Jeff days?
Sam is great.
Short of a Rany and Joe reunion, this is literally exactly what I was hoping for!
Fantastic news. Jeff and Sam are my two favourite writers but I have to say, as much as I looked forward to every single episode with Jeff, my favourite (non-Johnny O’Brien!) episodes were Sam’s few guest appearances. Absolutely delighted he’s back on board.
