0:00.0	Good morning and welcome to episode 27 of Effectively Wild, the baseball
0:14.3	perspective daily podcast. The date is Thursday, August 23rd and I as usual
0:22.6	am in New York, New York with the hum of a fan in the background in Long Beach
0:29.5	California with the crickets in the background. It's my co-host Sam Miller. How are you
0:35.2	today? Great Ben, how are you doing? All right, so should we debut our new
0:41.0	corrections omissions and errors segment? Yeah, sure, sounds like a fun adventure.
0:49.2	Yeah, so we'll just keep it to our major screw-ups since this is intended to be a
0:55.0	brief podcast and we'll start off with my screw-up from yesterday where in or

1:43.7	omissions I omitted the incredible factoid that Barry Bonds is a career
1:49.0	429-613-976 hitter in Pittsburgh as a visiting player. That is a 976
1:58.5	slugging percentage and a 1589 OPS. This was apropos of nothing and yet I regret
2:04.2	omitting it. Okay, so what is your topic that we will try to discuss with
2:10.0	that messing up or omitting anything today? I want to talk about the Dan
2:15.9	Harron Joe Saunders trade which might go down as the Tyler Skaggs trade in time.
2:21.1	Yeah, that's a good one. And I want to talk about Derek Jeter and the Yankees
