Ah, I wonder if I could tie the ocean to your knees

I wonder if I could tie the ocean to your knees

But turn your knees down, wonder if I could tie the ocean to your knees

Turn your knees, this is explain as to the best spell that ever been

Hello and welcome to episode 1433 of Effectively Wild, a baseball podcast from

Fangrass presented by our Patreon supporters, I am Ben Lindbergh of the Ringer, joined by Sam Miller of ESPN

Hello Sam, and today we are going to do something that we've been planning to do all season

and have teased a couple times, going to do an Atlantic League episode we've talked a bunch of

times about all the different rules changes that have been discussed and implemented or ultimately

not implemented in the Atlantic League this year as most of you probably know the Atlantic League

has served as sort of a testing ground in partnership with Major League Baseball, it's been a place

to try out some rules changes that are intended to shorten the game or make it more exciting in

some way, increase contact, everything from computer called strike zones to bigger bases to changes

and how you have to do a pickoff move and whether foul bunch on two strikes count as strikeouts

and whether you can just run to first whenever you want to if the ball gets away, but we've just

been speculating and analyzing from afar and we have wanted to talk to players who have actually

experienced this themselves and today we are lucky enough to be joined by two of them from

Somerset Patriots, one of them has been on the show before, he is Rick Teasley, he is a pitcher

and he joined us last December to talk about his improbable feet of striking out Williams'

test at DO twice in event as well and Winter League game Rick, welcome back.

Hey thanks guys, I appreciate it, thank you for having me, good to be back.

And we are also joined by one of his catchers, Yovon Gonzalez, hey Yovon.
