Hello and welcome to episode 1087 of Effectively Wild a fancraft space ball

podcast brought to you by our patreon supporters and just Sullivan of gangrestras always by Ben Lindbergh of the ringer. Hello. Hello.

Are we doing okay? I'm struck today by the fact that we have the exact some words when we do the introduction and

I don't have anywhere to go from that. Do you have anything that you would like to discuss pre?

I mean whatever this is essentially going to be a banter episode anyway. Who are we getting?

But you have a do you have initial banter? I should say I've got a few things

since I brought up the David Phelps trade on the ringer podcast but only for 30 seconds and purely as an excuse to play the cherry

depot O trade song so do you have something

substantive to say about David Phelps since you wrote it close to the bottom?

Yeah, one one thing that I loved is that I could go to bed with the knowledge that it looked like there was a trade about to be completed

Which meant that I knew what I was going to be writing about when I woke up. Yeah, which is nice. It's always convenient

So one substantive thing good for me and my writing stress but beyond that it's I don't know I think I might

I'm biased and that I find almost every trade interesting

I can't really close to writing a full post the other day

But the raise picking up jazz row and then not even putting him on their 40-man roster because I see I see the value there and

I swear to God I still think he's gonna be a good believer for them down the charts rose the the author of one of the best gifts ever

Yeah, you know, maybe not the author he didn't create the gift

But the the subject of one of the best gifts ever. Yeah, that crazy frisbee slider that he throws

It's a really good pitch and he was pretty good last year with the braves when they had him throw it like all of the time

And it's not the first guy to be a reliever who just basically throw a slider all the time and see how it works

But he was good and he would have been in the majors this year if not for an injury now granted injury

Anyway, this isn't about jazz row. This is a bad day for me. So he really really want to get that
