Nothing lasts that effectively wild, no wild, no wild, nothing lasts that effectively wild.

Hello and welcome to episode 2070 of Effectively Wild, a Fangraft Spaceball podcast brought to

you by our Patreon supporters, I'm Meg Rallye Fangrafts and I am joined by Ben Limberger

the Ringer.

Ben, how are you?

In some parts of the country, the leaves are changing and there's a chill in the air and

people are stocking up on Halloween supplies and also we're talking about teams having too

much time off and Clayton Kroesha not pitching well and managers leaving starters in too long.

So it is October, it feels like October in every possible sense, baseball wise and otherwise.

And it's like, you know, these are the feelings, these are the beats of October, some of them

are sillier, some of them are sadder, but all of them are pretty familiar.

Are you worried about too much rest, Ben?

Are you a rest, let me tell you, people had takes about your conductor take, my

master's.

I will save that for the end of the episode, just in case during the playoffs people aren't

most interested in the responses to my take on conductors, but yes.

But as for too much rest, would a too much rest, truth or I guess would be that that too

much rest is bad, that the buy is bad potentially because teams that get to sit for four or five

days are rusty and are at a disadvantage, even though they are the better teams.

I guess that would be the direction of the truth or ism right, that that matters, that

that is harmful as opposed to helpful or neither neutral.

And I'm in the camp of, I don't think this matters.
