Good morning and welcome to episode 290 of Effectively Wild, the daily podcast from baseball

I'm similar with Ben Lindbergh. Ben, how are you?

You know, I'm in to ask you when we were talking yesterday about the players with the highest winning percentage and the highest losing percentage in games that they had played.

I actually meant to ask you, but I forgot.

Do you think a player like Dunn, who has a record of being on bad teams, basically his entire career, he's been on bad teams?

Do you think any less of him, when you notice that, not that he's causing them to lose, but just that he chooses to go to losing teams?

I get the sense that maybe some people in this world might think, you know, you should want to play on winners and that it maybe says something about him that he doesn't seem to have much interest in winning, maybe.

I know it's obviously a little bit of a leap. I don't want to say that Dunn doesn't care about winning, but you know, the record is suggestive as well.

Yeah, no, I don't really think so.

I'm sure there are a lot of people on that list who just happened to end up on losing teams. Like maybe they thought they were signing up with a winner and then that team tanked for whatever reason.

I don't know whether that's the case with Dunn, but no, not particularly. I don't really care if a player puts going to a winning team first doesn't make much difference to me.

I guess I feel the same. Guilty people need lawyers too.

Wasn't there several years ago? Wasn't there a thing where JP Ricciardi said that Adam Dunn doesn't like baseball or something?

Yeah, that was a big thing for a little while.

Yeah, I'm just looking at the quote. He doesn't like baseball that much. He doesn't have a passion to play the game that much.

Yeah, I don't know.

Yeah, I, yeah, okay. All right. We'll just stop there. So what do you want to talk about?

Or do you want to talk about? Do you have anything else? Do you have any business?

There are a few things, a couple of baseball things, one non-baseball thing.

We got an iTunes review that said that we are like a baseball podcast directed by Wes Anderson.

Wanted to get your thoughts on that.

Yeah, I won. I mean, I'm a big fan of Wes Anderson generally.
