Good morning and welcome to episode 176 of Effectively Wild, the Daily Podcast from

Baseball Prospectus.

I'm Sam Miller with Ben Lindbergh, Ben, how are you doing?

Very well.

Did you watch, did you see Jose Fernandez at all?

No, I was out, but I was watching on my phone as he struck out more and more people.

How did his stuff look on the phone?

I could not tell.

You know, I actually have an idea for a piece that I've wanted to get to for a really

long time.

In fact, I wanted to do it for my second ever piece for Baseball Prospectus two years ago,

but I've never gathered everybody together, but what I want to do is take a picture who

we all knew nothing about, so like probably a September call-up that we've never heard

of, and have one person watch the game on TV, one person listen on the radio, one person

watch from the field, one person watch, just look at the pitch FX and describe the picture

and see how different our descriptions are of him.

It's a good idea, isn't it?

Yeah.

So you were watching as soon?

I wasn't, I just went and watched the highlights, the, you know, Jose Fernandez-Major League

debut on MLP.com, and I cannot possibly believe that that's real.

I also can't believe that he is not the number one prospect in Baseball.
