Hello and welcome to episode 2006 of Effectively Wild,

a baseball podcast from Vanguafs presented by our Patreon supporters,

I am Bill Lindbergh of the Ringer joined by Meg Rowley of Vanguafs,

Hello, Meg.

Hello.

I realized that because we didn't get a chance to podcast early this week,

we neglected to discuss something very serious and important,

which is a kill-but-do getting hit in the beans by a baseball thrown to second base,

just graphically, just an impact on a coupless groin,

a cup-free groin as we soon discovered, based on his reaction.

If anyone didn't see this, a kill-but-do of the Tigers attempted to steal second base,

and the throw came in, and the throw just nailed him directly in the beans.

I feel like I need to credit Grant Brisbee for that phrasing, I think.

I don't know if he coined in the beans when it comes to baseball plunkings in the penile area,

but he's definitely popularized the usage.

I don't want to be too specific.

A kill-but-do does not owe me or you or anyone an explanation of exactly where.

But does Grant mean in the beans to encompass the whole package?
