Effectively Wild Episode 1406: Taking a Stand

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the podcast’s seventh birthday, the end of an impressive streak by the Twins, what to think of Aaron Boone‘s tirade against rookie umpire Brennan Miller (and Brett Gardner’s odd dugout anger), Mike Trout and the FanGraphs Trade Value series, an Atlantic League player revolt, and five trends taking over the game, including the shift, relievers, and fewer fastballs.

Audio intro: Destroyer, "Savage Night at the Opera"
Audio outro: John Mellencamp, "I’m Not Running Anymore"
