Effectively Wild: A FanGraphs Baseball Podcast

[http://blogs.fangraphs.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/ewlogofi.png] Meg Rowley and guest co-host Craig Goldstein, editor-in-chief of Baseball Prospectus, discuss the passing of Fernando Valenzuela [https://www.fangraphs.com/players/fernando-valenzuela/1013327/stats?position=P], and his importance to both the Dodgers and baseball more generally. Then they preview the 2024 World Series between the Dodgers and the Yankees. They detail the relative strengths and weaknesses of both teams, breaking down the lineups, rotations, and bullpens, and discuss the players who might make the difference, from big stars like Ohtani, Betts, Judge and Soto, to lesser-known arms like Luke Weaver [https://www.fangraphs.com/players/luke-weaver/16918/stats] and Brent Honeywell [https://www.fangraphs.com/players/brent-honeywell/16466/stats].

EWFI [http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/ewlogofi.png] Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about a report that Jerry Reinsdorf might be willing to sell the White Sox, then (13:22) discuss the tactics and storylines of ALCS and NLCS Game 2, including controversial Vogt decisions, how Yankees fans would perceive a pennant or championship, the importance of Max Muncy [https://www.fangraphs.com/players/max-muncy/13301/stats?position=1B/3B], visualizing success, Shohei Ohtani [https://www.fangraphs.com/players/shohei-ohtani/19755/stats]’s small-sample splits and playoff history, and more. After that (1:08:02), they answer listener emails about people who don’t know Ohtani can pitch, why some plays aren’t reviewable via replay, expanding the three-batter-minimum rule, and pedantry concerning squaring up foul balls, “taking a souvenir away” when robbing a homer, flying out sharply, and Canadian baseball-executive titles, plus a postscript featuring Ben’s daughter’s Effectively Wild debut (1:39:06).
