0:11.7	Good morning and welcome to episode 720 of Effectively Wild, the daily podcast from
0:36.7	baseballperspectus presented by the planebecks at baseballreference.com. I'm Ben Lemberg of
0:42.3	Grandland joined by Sam Miller of baseballperspectus. Hello. Hey Ben how are you? I'm all right. Right in a
0:49.5	book. How are you? Are you writing a book? Yep. How about that? What a coincidence. So we're rusty. I
0:57.2	feel rusty. We've been absent all week. I apologize to people who expected to see podcasts over earlier
1:04.7	this week. A lot has happened in the time since our last podcast. Mike Pesca made us lob stars of
1:11.5	the Anten twig on the gist. The stoppers season ended. We started a book and now we're back to talk

2:21.5	market diners made selling point. It closes at that regular Sonoma hours. So that kind of cut back
2:28.7	on the number of times that I could go. I will happily eat it a chain by the way. Just not that one.
2:34.9	Just not that one. Yeah. I mean, right now. Well yeah I don't know. There's a difference between
2:39.9	a chain and a franchise too I guess. Uh-huh. And in and out is not franchise but it's obviously
