| 0:00.0 | Good morning and welcome to episode 468 of Effectively Wild, the Daily Podcast from |
| 0:25.7 | Baseball Prospectus presented by the baseball reference play index. I am Dan Lindbergh, |
| 0:30.4 | joined as always by Sam Miller. Hello. How are you doing? Okay. Cool. Good. Good. Yeah. So there was a fun fact |
| 0:40.7 | shared in our Facebook group, Facebook.com slash group slash effectively wild that I know will upset |
| 0:47.5 | you to your very core. Because of the because of the type of fun fact it is or because of the |
| 0:53.2 | information it carries. It is it's your I guess it's your second least favorite type of fun fact, |
| 1:00.6 | but it's a particularly egregious example of it. So it comes from this is from from listener Aisa |
| 1:08.3 | Beale. He was listening to Chip Carey and Chip Carey shared this according to Aisa. He quotes him saying, |
| 1:16.9 | I just saw a stat on Chris Johnson Joe, man, this is a great one. In every game in which Chris gets |
| 1:24.8 | at least three hits, the braves are 19 and one. Well, yeah, that'll do it. That's that's just overkill. |
| 1:33.3 | Three hits. Because I mean, usually it's it's one event, right? Usually it's in every game in which |
| 1:40.8 | he homers or every game in which a team homers or something. This is I mean, this is three hits. You |
| 1:46.9 | might as well just say, you know, in every game where the team scores lots of runs, then they win a lot. |
| 1:53.2 | That's that's what this is. It's a great one. Is this the it's also this is a this is an interesting one |
| 2:00.2 | too, because you're much more likely to get three hits if you get say five in bats or yeah, sure. Or even |
| 2:06.4 | six of bats, which means that when he's doing this, the braves have likely already piled up a massive |
| 2:13.6 | numbers of hits. So he he doesn't have four hits this year. Wait, oh, so this is in his career as a |
| 2:22.0 | break because he doesn't have probably a top. I'm surprised they surprised they lost one one of those |
| 2:28.6 | games. It's not even it's not even a perfect record. So that's a bad one. That was actually it was |
| 2:34.6 | fairly recently that they lost the game. So my guess is that chip carry has been my guess. I |
| 2:41.4 | don't know maybe not, but my guess is that this one has been in the braves media book for a while. |
| 2:47.5 | And they had to decide whether to keep it after the last one and they did and probably whoever |
