A baseball podcast, analytics and stats, with Ben and Meg, from Fane Grouse, effective

Hello and welcome to episode 2059 of Effectively Wild, the Fane Grouse baseball podcast

brought to you by our Patreon supporters, I'm Meg Raleigh Fane Grouse and I'm joined

as always by Ben Lindbergh of the ringer.

Ben, how are you?

I'm alright.

How are you?

I'm alright, man.

We're a co-chief podcast officers of Effectively Wild and we are still in those positions.

Who would fire us?

I mean, who has the authority to, I guess David Applement could, but I don't know.

And there could be an uprising among the Patreon supporters I guess.

Yeah, I'm sure they'd have our backs.

I don't know whether Red Sax fans have the back of Heimbloom to the same extent, but we

can talk about that because we've got some front office, maneuvering front office news

here.

We have a present-based operation staying in Washington, D.C., Microsoft, staying a couple

years longer, but more notable, perhaps, always more notable to have a firing than an extension

is Heimbloom of the Red Sax, but no longer of the Red Sax because he got the axe.

Yeah.

I think it's this fall guy scapegoat situation or is this deserved?

Yeah, he had it coming to the extent that we can ever tell from afar.
