| 0:01.2 | Good morning and welcome to episode 543 of Effectively Wild, the Daily Podcast from |
| 0:30.4 | baseball perspective presented by the play index at baseballreference.com. I am Ben Lindbergh |
| 0:36.2 | with Grantland.com joined by a sandmiller of baseball perspective. Hello. Lowest energy introduction ever. |
| 0:45.0 | I'm staring out the window at a rainy day in Manhattan contemplating the many, many hours ahead of me |
| 0:51.9 | at Geter Fest tonight. Hey Ben, I want to ask you a question. This was a Diamondbacks headline a |
| 0:59.0 | week ago. Okay. And I just want to get your assessment of the quality of the pun. Okay. Mark |
| 1:05.2 | Trumbos struck out four times in this game. Okay. What do we call a four strike out game? Golden |
