Hello and nothing less than effectively wild

Hello and welcome to episode 2381 of Effectively Wild a baseball podcast from Fangraphs presented by our Patreon supporters.

I am Bemlinburg of the Ringer, joined by Meg Raleigh of Famgraphs. Hello, Nick.

Hello.

I didn't ask how you were, but people are about to hear.

I'm croaky.

I sound like I'm going as Kathleen Turner for Halloween, and I'm working on the impression.

I sound like Betty Davis, if she had smoked a bag of cigarettes the day before.

I feel mostly okay.

I perhaps have some fatigue, but it's mostly just a everyone else problem. At least everyone

else just listen to me talk. So my apologies for being pretty croaky, you know.

Well, we'll make it work.

And if you need me to monologue while you recover your voice, just let me know.

And I guess we should say we said this on our Patreon bonus episode, which was published over the weekend.

But it's playoff season, which means it is also playoff live stream season for some of our Patreon

supporters, those at the appropriate tiers.

So just a PSA, because every now and then we remind people that they can support the podcast

on Patreon, and some of them do, which is very gratifying.

So you can do that.

And if you do do that at that level, then one of the perks you get this month is that you get to, have to.

No, it's optional.

But you get to, if you so choose, join us in the Patreon Discord group while we banter during a couple of games.
