Effectively Wild.

Hello and welcome to episode 2363 of Effectively Wild, a baseballball podcast from Fangraphs, presented by our Patreon supporters.

I am Ben Lindberg of the Ringer, joined by Meg Rally of Fangraphs. Hello, Meg.

Hello.

This is our first episode of the week, as you know, and usually that comes on a Tuesday. That's when we record at least.

Not always, but that just tends to be our typical first episode of the week for various reasons,

just working around other work that we have to do. And I always find that I'm just bursting

with banter on a Tuesday because it's the longest time we've

had between episodes. Now, this week, last week, I guess we're recording three consecutive days

because of travel and various other obligations. Usually we try to space it out a little bit,

which is better for having things to talk about and probably also

better for our audience, I guess, not to just cram it into a compressed period. But when we do

these Tuesday pods, not having recorded since Friday, obviously more time has elapsed than

when we do our subsequent pods in the week. And so more banter has built up.

And I just, I always feel like we should brand these episodes as like the podcast catch up.

Like, around the league.

Here's what's happening in baseball.

Just catching up on all this stuff that has happened.

It's just our content cup overfloweth, runneth over.

Runneth over.

Podcast jamberie.
