And the whole world said that perfect night

I learned a little about a living and a lot of bad vibes

I'll bear in the back yard

Just me and human five hundred and thirty stars

Good morning and welcome to episode 538 of Effectively Wild

The Daily Podcast from Baseball Prospectus

presented by the Plan Dex at baseballreference.com

And then Lindbergh of Grantland.com joined as always by a sandmiller of baseball prospectus

We have got a guest for weeks

I want to say months some of the backseat bookers in our audience have been looking ahead to this episode

And tweeting and emailing and Facebook commenting to tell us that we should get Nate for episode 538

It's a little gimmicky a little bit on the nose

But we are happy to have the excuse to talk to someone whose work we admire

So we are pleased to be joined by the former managing partner of baseball prospectus

Which is probably the first line on his resume

Still right above projector of presidential elections

And author of the signal in the noise and founder and fearless leader of 538

And Nate Silver. Hi Nate

Hey how are you guys?

Great. So I believe if Wikipedia's information is correct

That today is the six month anniversary of the launch of 538
