The fact of the wild is the only show I'm in, hosted by Ben Linberg and Ben Riley, I want to hear it out, show me your time, or my trap with free art.

Hello and welcome to episode 2074 of Effectively Wild, a fancraft space ball podcast brought to you by our Patreon supporters. I'm Meg Raleigh, a fancraft and I am joined by Ben Linberg of the ringer Ben How are you?

I'm alright, how are you?

I'm better than the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Man, not going great for those guys.

So now we can do an NLCS update because there's been no new ALCS actions since the last time we talked so we can get into the somewhat lopsided NLCS thus far.

The second game certainly was.

I did want to say, you know what we haven't seen this postseason, aside from a Diamondbacks, NLCS win.

We haven't really seen many clock violations.

Do you remember how that was kind of a concern?

It was like, okay, it's one thing during the regular season, but what if this happens during the postseason?

What if the worst case scenario happens and you get a postseason game decided on a clock violation which didn't even happen during the regular season, right?

But that was I think part of the rationale behind the players request for suspending or relaxing the pitch clock in the postseason.

And it just totally has not happened.

So there have been a total of four pitch clock violations in the postseason so far.

That is adding up pitcher violations, better violations, catcher violations, just four.

So there was one on Hector Narris.

There was one on Michael Grove.

And then there was one by Yimigarcia.

And then I think also one against Yimigarcia that Max Kepler had.
