Hello and welcome to episode 1921 of Effectively Wild

a fan-graphed baseball podcast brought to you by our Patreon supporters

I'm a rally of fan-graphs and I joined as always by Ben Limberg of the ringer Ben How are you?

I lost with what to do with myself

There's no baseball all week? What is this?

Is this how the off season is but even longer?

I mean, maybe, although not as long as some recent off seasons have been

Oh, that's true, yeah, that would be a nice little silver lining after the last out of the world series

I never really endorsed the sit-around and stare out the window and wait for spring approach to the off season

They're better ways to do it, they're better things to do

But there will be less time to sit there and stare out the window and wait for spring if that's what you're inclined to do

I hadn't thought of that, yeah, it's a nice little, it'll be good when people immediately post the number of days

until pictures and catchers report as they tend to do after the world series ends

It'll be fewer days than usual

Yeah, it'll be a number of days but a countable number isn't that nice

Yeah, so can I say something nice about Facebook?

Sure, I mean, sure, but I might have feedback

So there's really only one thing I use Facebook for anymore, which is the Effectively Wild Facebook group
