You're so who we are journey room

Good morning and welcome to episode 540 of Effectively Wild. The early

contest for baseball perspectives brought to you by the play index at

baseballreference.com. I'm Sam Miller with Ben Linberger. Grant Lin, Ben. Yes.

Hi, Ben. Hi. How are you? Okay. I enjoyed you on hang up and listen today.

My best. No, I thought you were very good. Thank you. I particularly liked at the beginning of the show and they said that

Ben Linberger was going to be on to break down all the pen and races because that's like the like just not what you know how to do.

That's exactly when Josh emailed me. He offered to send over some topics and I said that would be great because Sam and I don't talk about actual baseball when we can help it.

Yeah. I was wondering when he said that if you knew who was actually in a pen and race. Currently.

Did you know that Ben, the Red Sox, aren't having a good year. That's true. Yeah. It's odd because they were good so recently.

The other thing I noticed is that you did a very common podcast tick which I notice in almost every

podcast. I don't notice it in you when we're podcasting and I don't think well I don't know if I do it when we're podcasting but I also think that I do it when I go on other people's podcast and that podcast tick is saying a fact and then and then tacking on at the end right.

So you said there's nothing wrong with you and assess but is he's a he's an above average hitter right or how did you say he's above average hitter right like that right.

Yes. I think I picked that up from Nate Silver and what everybody does it every single podcast does the other thing that every every podcasters this is the single most common podcast tick is somebody says something somebody else says something and then the first person gets.

I think that's right. Which is such a like I don't know it's like it's like I feel like there's something selfish in saying that I think that's right it's like you talk I will I will validate you.

Yeah. Here I'm most appropriating the point. Yeah it's like it's almost like a retweet it's almost like a manual retweet.

That's right. I think that's right. I think that's right. Anyway I enjoyed I enjoyed the show I actually have like two minutes left so as soon as this is over I'm going to rush back and listen to the rest of it.

You'll listen to my sleep plus segment on Derek cheater too. Is that really you did the sleep plus. I did.

Oh, can you send it to me? I don't have it. Can you just say it can you say all the words? Sure. Yeah. We've talked about cheater. You know what I think. Yeah. All right. I should probably just become a sleep plus member. Yeah, we probably both should.
