Good morning and welcome to episode 271 of effectively wild the daily podcast from baseball prospectus

I am Ben Lindbergh joined as always by Sam Miller and for the first time by Russell Carlton who we have

mentioned on the show many times and have somehow never never had on

Although it feels like we have because he's the person who

corrects us

via email or

Comment or instant message when we say something stupid, which is fairly often

And now I'll just get to do it live and in person, right? Yeah, so this will save time for everyone

Welcome, he also yeah, I would say he also is the one person who when we raise

Difficult to research questions actually does the difficult research

Yes, and he is also the person if I don't have a topic and it's only a few minutes until recording

I simply go and look at the last thing he wrote and talk about it because it's always we're talking about

Russell is on the verge of acquiring his third daughter
