0:00.0	feel like I hear faint crickets. Yeah, I do too. Yeah, you're right there there. Nice
0:16.2	to have you back. Good morning and welcome to episode 287 of Effectively Wild, the daily
0:23.5	podcast from baseball perspectives. I'm Sam Miller and having just come out of
0:28.6	a tremendous yawn is a hit report. It's Ben Lindbergh. I'm in my usual Sunday night state
0:37.6	of nervous exhaustion post breaking bad. So I'm trying to keep it together here long enough
0:44.2	to do the show. All right. What do you want to talk? Yeah. Yeah. What do you want to talk about
0:51.1	though? Do you have something to talk about? Did you have something to say? I was going to say
