But too often can't wait to end the world

And do what we've done

All that we've won

We're shining you and we can slide away

Slide away

Slide away

Hello and welcome to episode 185 of Effectively Wild

a baseball podcast from Fangress presented by our

Heat Trend supporters. My name is Ben Lindbergh. I'm a writer for the ringer.

I'm joined by Jeff Sullivan of Fangress. Hello. Hello.

So you've got an excellent interview later in this show

Continuing our streak of off the beaten path podcast segments. We're talking to Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg free press of about an

Unbelievable game that happened with the Winnipeg Goldize this past weekend as well as an unbelievable team that plays in the Goldize league

But before we get to that some quick actual major league baseball just wanted to mention Mike Tra returned on Friday

He has played all three games over the weekend his very first time on base I believe or the third inning of his first game back

He stole second base head first which is exactly how he heard himself some seven weeks earlier trying to steal second base

Or actually stealing second base sliding head first so clearly has not been

Disweighted from trying to steal second or from sliding head first Mike be careful out there

We don't want you to hurt yourself again. I do like to see you steal bases and head first slides are sort of exciting

But also unsafe and if you can't slide a different way just be careful out there

We can't afford to lose you for an extended stretch again. So Mike Traut still engaging in risk taking behavior

But still great at baseball just wonderful to have him back so we can finally now watch him try to catch up to all of his competitors among at least position players and wins
