Effectively Wild Episode 2217: Who Was That Masked Man?

by
September 14, 2024

EWFI
Ben Lindbergh and R.J. Anderson of CBS Sports debate whether Jackson Holliday, Jackson Chourio, or Jackson Merrill will be the best player long term, discuss the addition of ads to batting helmets and continued MLB ad creep, and ponder the possibility of publicly owned ballclubs. Then (55:52) Ben talks to Mojo Hill about covering Derek Bender, the Twins minor league catcher who was released for telling opposing hitters which pitches were coming. Finally (1:27:09), Ben brings on Frequent Stat Blast Correspondent Ryan Nelson for Blasts about runs scoring on three consecutive wild pitches, players who faced the same opponent with the most teams in a single season, the most and least consistent start lengths, team games with the same number of hits, walks, and runs, and bad bullpen support.

Audio intro: Beatwriter, “Effectively Wild Theme”
Audio interstitial: Justin Peters, “Effectively Wild Theme”
Audio outro: Benny and a Million Shetland Ponies, “Effectively Wild Theme (Horny)”
