Effectively Wild Episode 2029: Fallen Los Angeles


Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about whether or not Mike Trout‘s injury makes the Angels more likely to trade birthday boy Shohei Ohtani, the Dodgers’ rotation depth with out Dustin May and Clayton Kershaw, unhealthy information for Thairo Estrada and folks Nelson Cruz and Adam Wainwright (and the Cruz/Joe Ryan commerce revisited), James Paxton‘s comeback, Mariners All-Star additions, Jordan Walker’s unusual season, the arrival of the most recent Orioles prospect, Colton Cowser, and extra. Then (47:53) they reply listener emails about Triston Casas and assessing participant growth, a Jack within the Box baseball supply, a foolish ending to a minor league sport, baseball references (or the shortage thereof) in Fall Out Boy’s model of “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” a ball that will be conducive to singles, a genie that grants baseball needs, a simultaneous doubleheader, Ohtani enjoyable details, and softball-style helmets, plus a Future Blast (1:45:15) from 2029 and a postscript.
