Hello and welcome to episode 1116 of effectively wild a baseball podcast from fan graphs presented by our patreon supporters

My name is Ben Lindbergh. I'm a writer for the ringer. I'm joined as always by Jeff Sullivan of fan graphs. Hello. Hello. I am also a writer for the ringer

Yeah, are you no? I'm not I didn't have this exciting for a moment. Okay. Well, do bad

If that ever happens you should break it to me live on the air on a podcast, please

So we're doing an email show today and unlike a lot of email shows we're actually gonna get right to the emails

I am somewhat limited in the time I have today, so we're gonna make the most of it

I did want to just read an email from Riley a listener who wrote in yesterday and

He has a story that I thought put a different spin on something we just talked about so I figured I'd read it

He says I just finished listening to episode 1115

That's the one where we talked about whether this was a good or bad baseball season and how one would even determine such a thing

And he says I had a different perspective on how a good or bad season is determined

background I work for a bank that funds Delaware North the company that provides

Confessions at many of the ball parks long story short one of the services we provide them is that we handled the

Armored car service for delivering money to the ball parks

We place the orders to coordinate with the armored car company, etc

Currently we deliver funds to 10 out of the 30 MLB parks personally. I'm not customer-facing

I'd deal more with the armored car company generally services occur the morning after each home game fans pay money on

Game day night then the armored cars take the money back the next morning while we're punishing change for the next game

This guy sounds like the perfect person to plan some sort of heist. I think I don't know what but I will talk to him about that

There are a lot of pieces in play for each service the orders have to be placed the dedicated armored car has to be staffed and available

Delaware North has to be ready to receive them
