| 0:30.0 | Hello and welcome to episode 1932 of Effectively Wild a baseball podcast from |
| 0:36.2 | Vangrass presented by our Patreon supporters. I am Ben Minberg of the |
| 0:40.6 | Ringer joined by Meg Rally of Vangrass. Hello Meg. Hello. From time to time we do |
| 0:46.0 | drafts of things we like about baseball and today we are drafting things we |
