Effectively Wild Episode 2044: The Catcher-Crotch Catch
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about whether or not the plight of working backs within the NFL is analogous to any data-driven developments in MLB, the advantages and disadvantages of extra or fewer off days throughout postseason sequence (and the issue with pluralizing “series”), the White Sox going 0-11 in video games once they’ve struck out 14 or extra opposing batters, Cody Bellinger and the surging Cubs, the flailing Diamondbacks and the way the sequencing of slumps and scorching streaks impacts the notion of seasons, and extra. Then (1:16:05) they meet main leaguers Slade Cecconi and Davis Schneider, adopted by (1:36:45) a Future Blast from 2044.
