I want to know about baseball.

I want to know about every single team.

I want to know about sad glass, some fan graphs, and about, oh, oh, tomm.

I'm a very modern fan reading up on all the analytics.

I want to know about baseball, presented by Patreon supporters of Effectively Wild.

Hello and welcome to episode 2444 of Effectively Wild, a Fangraphs baseball podcast brought you by our Patreon supporters.

I'm Meg Rowley of Fangraphs and I'm joined by

Ben Lindbergh of the ringer Ben. How are you? Are you a snowman? Not quite. The snow is

starting to melt, starting to be cleared away, but it was quite a heavy snowfall. Yeah.

As I was just telling you, off air, just excellent sledding snow, snowman snow, did all the

wintertime activities, felt weird to watch spring training and then see two feet of

snow outside where I am.

Yeah.

Not an issue that you deal with where you are, but a good problem to have, at least for me,

as an apartment dweller who does not have a commute, and thus does not have to worry about that

or shoveling, although as a parent, I do have to worry about snow days.

And it is one of the saddest things about adulthood if you have a kid or kids, which is the

snow days, which are just a

source of joy and wonder when you are yourself a child, become something that you start to dread

when you are an adult and a parent. Not that we're not happy to have our kids around, but, you know,

in moderation, we have to work. We don't, podcasters don't get snow days is the problem.

So it can become a bit of an issue.
