Hello, it's fair game, even Kee's dirty pants.

And maybe if you're lucky, we'll cope all by the chance.

You never know precisely where it's going to go.

By definition, effectively wild.

Hello and welcome to episode 2442 of Effectively Wild, a fancrafts baseball podcast brought

to you by our Patreon supporters. I'm Meg Rowley FanGraphs and I am joined by Ben Lindberg of

the ringer. Ben, how are you? Well, tis the season for previewing the season, as all of our listeners

know, and we will continue to do that on this episode. We will be talking about the Detroit Tigers with Cody Stavenhagen, and then we will be talking about the A's.

I don't know what city name to use, but the A's, and Jason Burke will be here to talk to us about the, well, let's go with West Sacramento A's.

But it's also the season when people who forgot about baseball for the past several months remember about baseball.

And some of those people flock to the baseball subreddit and they ask for podcast recommendations.

Oh.

And so there are always many, what podcasts should I listen to?

What are the good baseball podcasts posts around this time of year?

And the denizens of that subreddit are always quite eager to recommend effectively Wild, which I'm grateful for.

So thanks to all of you for putting in a good word.

But I wanted to shout out one comment from one person who recommended Effectively Wild in response to this prompt.

User Adorable Bit22, who talked a little bit about why Effectively Wild is good.

Thank you.

But also said that in addition to the value you get as a Patreon supporter also got me a free beer at a bar the other week.

Oh.

The barback saw I was wearing a baseball shirt and somehow effectively Wild came up.
