Effectively Wild Episode 2194: The Breakout Fakeout

by
July 24, 2024

EWFI
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the likenesses, word counts, and stat citations on Hall of Fame plaques, what would happen if all past stats disappeared, the impending returns of Mike Trout and Clayton Kershaw (and the recent return of J.T. Realmuto), the end of James Paxton’s time with the Dodgers, Jo Adell’s breakout fakeout and Jarren Duran’s belated breakout, Francisco Vicioso and Shaq Thompson, the morphing meme of Nick Castellanos, and the Brewers, the Mariners, and the challenge and payoff of rostering pretty good players.

Audio intro: Daniel Leckie, “Effectively Wild Theme”
Audio outro: Philip Bergman, “Effectively Wild Theme”
