No one tell Bob about the Kutter Crawford banter to open this episode, you're all sworn to secrecy.

I could listen to Meg and Ben banter about pretty much anything. And I could listen to Bob Kendrick tell stories about just about anything.

This is two hours of those things!!! It's great!

@ewpod.bsky.social @benlindbergh.bsky.social a few days behind, but listened to your interview with Dolly Vanderlip over the weekend and that was an absolute delight, what a treat ♥️

Effectively Wild Episode 2465: Before You Can Say Jack(ie) Robinson Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the Mariners actually sort of sacrificing Humpy, the historically compressed standings at the start of the season, top prospects (and veteran relievers) pushing...

There are many reasons to support @ewpod.bsky.social on Patreon and every episode is amazing. This episode in particular, though, is such a delight. Loved every second of the interview with Dolly. I'd listen to her stories for another 3 hours. Listen and support if you can.

My 12-year-old got new cleats for baseball season today. They’re Bryce Harper models, which is fine. My son’s a first baseman. He’s excited about it. However, because both are @ewpod.bsky.social listeners, his little brother did sneak in the jab.

I am so desperately behind on all of my podcasts but I just found out I was shouted out as a Patreon supporter by @ewpod.bsky.social in episode 2412, a pun-derful episode

I heard my name, raised my arms in triumph and exclaimed "that's me! That's my name!" as I could be any more of a dweebus

As @megrowler.fangraphs.com has so often said on Effectively Wild, these boys should give each other a little kiss but only if they both want to 💗

Effectively Wild Episode 2460: The Arc of History Bends Toward .500 Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Joey Wiemer, Colt Emerson’s contract, the concept of “sticking at shortstop,” and pre-arbitration (and pre-debut) extension trends, then (29:11) answer...

In the EW predictions game I said Artemis II would launch before there was a regular season batted ball of 117 mph EV or higher. The current leaguewide max EV is 116.9, but there are 13 day games between now and the scheduled liftoff time. This is real hair-of-my-chinny-chin-chin stuff

Just want to shout out this tremendous ep from 2014 which gets into predictions on game length, automated strike zones, pitcher usage. @benlindbergh.bsky.social and @sammillerbb.bsky.social nailed a lot of their calls.
