How can you not be pedanted?

A stablast will keep you distracted.

It's a long slog to death, but the shore to make you smile.

This is effectively why? This is effectively why? Hello, this is Effectively Wild, this is Effectively Wild, this is Effectively Wild, this is Effective Wild.

Hello and welcome to episode 2391 of Effectively Wild, a Fangraphs baseball podcast brought to you by our Patreon supporters.

I'm Meg Rowley of Fangraphs, and today to you by our Patreon supporters. I'm Meg Rowley of

Fangraphs, and today I am joined by Ben Clemens, also of Fangraph's other Ben, who is

kindly filling in for Other Ben, who's going to be Other Ben for this episode while he is

traveling. Ben, how are you? I'm doing well. How are you? I'm doing okay. I've reached a place of

peace. We have not podcasted since my Seattle Mariners were defeated by the Toronto Blue Jays,

who will now advance to the World Series, where they will meet the Dodgers. We do not have to

linger over long on that,

but the people demand their answer about that game, which I was disappointed by. I am not

hesitant to say, although I do like this Blue Jays team quite a bit and I'm excited for them

and their players, their fans.

It was a thriller.

I can say that about Game 7.

We could talk about any number of things.

The advisability of wearing a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey when you're arriving at the ballpark,

given that franchise's playoff,

legacy, struggle.

Wait, who did that?
