Effectively Wild Episode 2016: We’ve Bought Good News and Dangerous News

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Ben’s voice, the arrival of Elly De La Cruz, the similarities between the up-and-coming Reds and Pirates, whether or not we’d like a “super-error,” Aaron Judge’s ball- and wall-smashing talents, the plights of Alek Manoah and Stephen Strasburg, the marvel of Luis Arraez, whether or not this 12 months’s commerce deadline will likely be lifeless, follow-ups on the Angels’ catchers, Ben Joyce’s fastball, and Albert Pujols’s employment, how the pitch clock might have an effect on gamers’ stamina within the second half, and extra, plus a Past Blast from 2016 (1:34:00) and some updates (1:38:25), together with ideas on Jacob deGrom’s analysis.

Audio intro: Harold Walker, “Effectively Wild Theme”
