Effectively Wild Episode 2074: Who Had it First?

by
October 19, 2023

EWFI
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the lack of pitch-clock violations in the postseason, an on-field Phillies smooch, the Phillies’ 2-0 lead on the Diamondbacks in the NLCS, a pivotal offseason for the Brewers, how MLB newsbreakers differ from NBA newsbreakers, the rising percentage of pitchers who’ve had Tommy John surgery, and how different baseball would be if regular-season series worked like postseason series, followed by (1:30:50) a radio-play-style Future Blast from 2074.

Audio intro: Ted O., “Effectively Wild Theme”
Audio outro: Daniel Leckie, “Effectively Wild Theme”
