Effectively Wild Episode 2211: Hip Hippo Hooray

Effectively Wild: A FanGraphs Baseball Podcast

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Juan Soto’s free agency and Aaron Judge’s ego, follow up on in-season exhibition games, and (18:51) answer listener emails about the possibility of adding games to the baseball season, bullpen pitchers robbing a home run robbery, redrawing (or enforcing) coach’s boxes, pronouncing “wRC+,” programming ABS to help starters go deeper into games, Joey Votto vs. Lance Berkman, boycotting A’s games on the road, installing a second home plate (and/or double bases), replacing “bullets in the arm” with “throws of the dice,” using pitch counts instead of innings counts, and player development during suspensions.

Audio intro: Luke Lillard, “Effectively Wild Theme”
Audio outro: Ted O., “Effectively Wild Theme”
