by
April 16, 2019

EWFI
Ben Lindbergh and Sam Miller banter about baseball equivalents of Tiger Woods winning the Masters, follow up on two topics from the previous week (Willians Astudillo’s disputed whiff and Don Zimmer’s bases-loaded suicide hit and run) and, in a time-honored tradition, discuss whether selected league-wide stats from the first few weeks of the season are reflective of real trends.

Audio intro: The Milk Carton Kids, "Nothing is Real"
Audio outro: The Zombies, "Play it for Real"
