Effectively Wild Episode 2049: Seattle Slays

EWFI
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Ben’s week away, Julio Rodríguez’s sizzling streak and the Mariners’ surge, and the White Sox firing Kenny Williams and Rick Hahn, plus a seize bag of subjects that caught Ben’s consideration whereas he was in Sweden: the Dodgers signing Kolten Wong; a Cubs adult-diaper advert; an oddly ricocheting Luke Raley residence run; errors and official scoring, one other incident that made Miles Mikolas mad; Riley Greene, Spencer Torkelson, and the Tigers’ rebuild; Bobby Witt Jr.’s sophomore breakout; Nationals extensions, CJ Abrams, and Joey Meneses; the same seasons of J.D. Martinez and Justin Turner; the potential for good groups to overlook the playoffs, and radical realignment; Jon Singleton returning to the Astros; Dallas Keuchel persevering with to pitch; a nifty Brewers commerce revisited (and Christian Yelich’s bounceback); the sale of Fogo de Chão; John Angelos’s newest groaners; preseason prediction philosophies, and extra, plus a Future Blast (1:32:04) from 2049 and some follow-ups (1:33:37).
