Good morning and welcome to episode 523 of Effectively Wild, the Daily Podcast from

Baseball Perspectus presented by the baseballreference.com Play Index.

I am Ben Lindbergh of Grandland.com joined by Sam Miller of Baseball Perspectus.

Hello.

How are you?

Okay.

So today's listener email show, you're doing some play indexing as we speak.

Is there anything else that you want to discuss?

Unless you're planning on making it a topic tomorrow, we should probably just note the

Mariners' decision to extend Jack Zrensick for a quote, multi-year deal.

Because I think we had him paged for the wobbly chair.

Yes.

And you know, I don't know, surprise me.

It's certainly surprise me that he would have stabilized his chair so quickly.

Yeah.

Me too.

I mean, I guess it's a, maybe it's a lesson to future GMs who are on the wobbly chair

that they should sign the best for the agent available.

And maybe they'll save their jobs.

That's it.

That's the only lesson.

Well, I don't, I don't know what other lessons to learn.
