Effectively Wild Episode 2014: Clocks and Bonds

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Meg’s five hundredth EW episode, the architectural idea of the “Thomasson,” a forthcoming HBO documentary about Barry Bonds, the rebound of Juan Soto, frequent misconceptions about WAR, the declines of Noah Syndergaard and Kris Bryant, the NL West, MLB broadcasting Padres video games, an MLB-MLBPA advert deal, a guidelines replace, Francisco Álvarez’s protection, the return of Jordan Walker, Shohei Ohtani’s bat grip, a slowdown in accidents, and a D-III workforce that wins with HBPs, plus a Past Blast from 2014 (1:32:52), participant responses to the Dodgers’ Pride Night, and follow-ups.
