| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to episode 825 of Effectively Wild The Daily Podcast from Baseball |
| 0:26.5 | Presbyctus presented by the Playindex at baseballreference.com. I'm Ben Lindbergh, 538 joined by Sam Miller |
| 0:33.8 | of Baseball Perspectives. Hello. Hey. You know, it's an email show, but I bet if we wanted to, |
| 0:39.2 | we could do an entire banter and playindex show. Probably because the banter does pile up while |
| 0:45.6 | we're doing these previous. And we've gotten countless tweets and emails about a couple of very |
| 0:52.1 | effectively wild long running topics that we could probably discuss at least briefly. I don't |
| 0:57.5 | know what you want to start with. Do you have banter you want to begin with? I do. I went to |
| 1:01.6 | John Wayne Airport. Yeah, yesterday, it late afternoon, about seven hours after you posted the |
| 1:08.8 | angels preview. And there was they had new murals. They did what they did. They had added 2012 to |

| 1:59.6 | feet to the right of the 2008 to 2011 display. So they had not updated these angels pictures on |
| 2:06.4 | the wall for four years or so. And then we mentioned it on the angels preview in seven hours later. |
| 2:13.2 | They brought it up to date. That's suspicious. It is. Yeah. There must be a John Wayne airport |
| 2:19.4 | employee who is a faithful listener to effectively wild. Yeah. I don't know. Let us know. I don't know |
| 2:24.7 | what it I mean, it's conceivable that there's all sorts of possible explanations. But clearly, |
