Hello and welcome

Tracking all these statelines

But it's here I found my kind

I'm all effectively wild

Hello and welcome to episode 2501 of Effectively Wild, a baseball podcast from Fangraphs presented by our Patreon supporters.

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

Hello, Meg.

Hello.

Well, figure we could catch people up on a few things that happen over the weekend because some people may have

missed some of Sunday's action, what with Star Spangled Sunday being in effect, which was,

in a sense, it was a blackout. In another sense, it was the absence of blackouts because there

were no actual blackouts in the traditional sense.

That was the good news.

Yeah.

The bad news potentially for some people was that NBC Sports was airing all 15 games on Sunday.

And so you were possibly out of luck if you did not have access to peacock.

It depended, really, on which team you were watching.

Because in some cases, you may have had some access to it.

So the two NBC proper games, Mets, Braves, Padres, Dodgers were available over the air for anyone who can get their TV that way, as well as on Peacock.

And then every other game was on Peacock and NBC's Sportsnet.

So you would have to have one of those at least.

Although there is a handful of other games, Phillies, Royals, Giants, Rockies, Blue Jays, Mariners, Red Sox Angels. Those were available on the visiting teams regional sports network. But yeah, it was not ideal to just, well, do you have Peacock? Do you have NBC Sports Network? If not, maybe you're out of luck. I do have Peacock, so I was fine.
