One is crashed, one does never buy One is dead, one is blind, one is blind

One is blind, you are not swimming all the way

Swimming alone, and for dogs it can't find

Hello and welcome to episode 1398 of Effectively Wild, a baseball podcast from Vangrass

presented by our Patreon supporters I am Ben Linger of the Ringer, and for the second

straight week I am moved to make a bonus episode because this has been an eventful weekend

in baseball, so I'm not joined by Sam or Meg today, I am in fact joined by two people

who can tell us what the London series was like on the ground because a lot happened

this weekend we could talk about Brendan McKay carrying a perfect game into the 6th inning,

we could talk about Baltimore beating Cleveland in back-to-back 13 nothing games, that's

never been done before and now it's been done by at least likely team you could think

of to do it, we could talk about our old pal Matt Albers recording his first save of

the season, normally all of that would be banter worthy, but this weekend was all about

the London series, Yankees swept the red socks in the two games set 17-13 and 12-8 that's

a combined 50 runs the most ever in two games between these two teams, 10 home runs,

more than 59,000 fans in attendance at each contest, and although the tickets were expensive

they got their money's worth because there was a combined nine hours in six minutes of

baseball, and I'm talking today to two eyewitnesses and I would say the finest sabermetric minds

in the UK, I don't know if that's a fair statement, but that's what I've gathered,

is Darius Austin, he has been on the podcast some time ago, but he is a writer for baseball

perspectives on the fantasy side, he writes an edits for banish to the pen, and he's a writer

and podcaster for bat flips and nerds, the baseball site of record in the UK, Darius welcome
