Effectively Wild: A FanGraphs Baseball Podcast Effectively Wild Episode 1466: Slapdick Podcast
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about covering transactions past and present, the latest eye-catching comments by Scott Boras, the Tommy Pham trade and Blake Snell’s candid real-time reaction to it, and what the busy signing season so far augurs for the future of free agency and labor relations, then answer listener emails about players with more times caught stealing than strikeouts and team TV networks airing classic losses, with additional discussion of the weird and wonderful Nick Madrigal, the forecast for a fun White Sox team in 2020, an increasingly intriguing crop of two-way players, and the evolving look of baseball broadcasts.
Audio intro: The Move, "Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited"
Audio outro: XTC, "Harvest Festival"
