Remember rain, the cembers snow, January is also cold,

February is quiet and still, March is flowers on the silt and hand.

We're still together all, because we've got to be together now.

Hello and welcome to episode 1172 of Effective Rewild, a baseball podcast from

Fangrass presented and made possible by our Patreon supporters.

I am Dunlund Berg of the Ringer, joined by Jeff Sullivan of Fangrass.

How are you?

I'm fine.

Yeah, that's the only way to be as far as baseball is concerned right now,

unless you're worse than fine, unless you're apocalyptic, as it seems almost every article is these days.

But not a whole lot of news has happened, except that there was going to be a strike for certain,

This is the first episode of our season preview series.
