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

Hello and welcome to episode 2505, Effectively Wild, a baseball podcast from Fangraphs presented by our Patreon supporters.

I am Ben Lindberg of the Ringer, joined by Meg

Rally of FanGraphs from Philly. Hello, Meg. Hello. Good Derby, I think, at least, from afar.

We spectated in different ways, different capacities. We might have different opinions. So I was

watching from afar. I can provide my perspective on the Netflix of it all. And you were in the park on the scene.

I was. Yeah. I am fascinated by your experience of it watching on TV because, you know, one tries to be engaged and present when one is, I think, lucky enough

is a good way to describe it, to be at these things in person.

It's a part of my job that I certainly don't take for granted.

But I had an eye trained on blue sky at points during the Derby, and I felt as if, at least in my limited little slice, which certainly plays a role, you know, what slice I saw, that there was a real divide between the in-person experience of the derby, which seemed energetic and largely.

Well, I was going to say positive.

I don't know if that quite does justice to the Philly crowd and they're booing proclivities,

but enthusiastic, lively.

It seemed like people were enjoying themselves.

That doesn't run at cross purposes
