Hello and welcome to episode 1261 of Effectively Wildly Fan Graph Spaceball Podcast brought to you by our Patreon supporters.

We threw that heaven on the attraction and wild I'm Dipsello. The fan graph's joined us always by Ben Lindbergh of The Ring or Hello Ben. How are you?

I'm flawless. I'm doing well. Thank you.

Yeah, just killing it. We recorded this late on a Friday too. So I would have every excuse to be checked out. But how could I be checked out when Bobby Wilson is on the disabled list?

The Minnesota twins meeting coming back up in Tripoli, Williams Estadio and he will presumably get the catch at some point because the twins only have one of them and it's Mitch Garver.

So I'm going to see some amount of Williams Estadio here. I don't know how long Bobby Wilson is going to be out with the spring dangle. You know, I have nothing against Bobby Wilson. But maybe he would enjoy getting a head start on his off season.

Yeah, condolences to Bobby Wilson. Sorry it had to come at someone's expense, but we are happy to have Estadio back in the big leagues.

Did you see the tweet that I tweeted yesterday about Estadio?

I am holding a crossbow or some sort of maybe it wasn't a crossbow. It could have been one of those composite bows.

Yes, I initially tweeted that it was a crossbow because all bows look the same to me. I am not a bow connoisseur. But our editor, Dylan Higgins, pointed out on Twitter editing my tweets that it is probably not a crossbow. It is probably a regular bow or a compound bow.

Yeah, this is just an image that someone tweeted at me from the ballpark. Estadio yesterday was with the Rochester Red Wings in AAA. And he was standing. It looks like in the bullpen with maybe a member of the AAA staff just shooting this compound bow at a target that we cannot see in the image.

It could be human. Hopefully is not. Hopefully is in an inanimate object. But I don't know the context surrounding this tweet, which I think I like it better that way. I tried to find out a little bit like why is Williams Estadio standing in the bullpen shooting a very intimidating looking compound bow. But I do not know. And I kind of don't want to know.

So Estadio now plays every position including compound bow.

It's possible that the target was the photographer, which is why you didn't get an after shot. But maybe maybe it's some sort of like resistance exercise. Maybe it helps him stretch his forearm. He's a stocky dude might be a little more difficult for him to get that flexibility in his arms. I don't know. I don't know why he had a bow. But I can imagine that as long as he's holding it. No one's going to look him a skew. A scans. A scans.

A scans. Yeah. Yeah. I think you would use a resistance band or something for that instead of a deadly weapon. But I don't know. Maybe it was just what he had on hand. Oh, I'm sorry. Your Highness. This is the minor leagues.

Yeah.

He's just a rubber band around. Yeah. Pretty much. So it just so happens that what's lying around as a compound bow. Yeah. Well, maybe that image just bullied the big league staff into promoting him again. There was just an implied threat there that he was coming for them with a compound bow.

So he is back in the big leagues and guess what guess who else is back in the big leagues. Another man who enjoys a bit of bow hunting. Our old friend Mike Trout is also returning to the big leagues on the same day as Williams has to do. This is like a national holiday for this podcast.

And last I checked. Trout had been surpassed. Maybe on surprise. But he had been surpassed in major league.
