Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about a Donald Trump claim about Shohei Ohtani [https://www.fangraphs.com/players/shohei-ohtani/19755/stats/batting], José Caballero’ [https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jose-caballero/23401/stats/batting]s battle with MLB about his pre-pitch routine, Yandy Díaz [https://www.fangraphs.com/players/yandy-diaz/16578/stats/batting] spurning ABS, James Wood’ [https://www.fangraphs.com/players/james-wood/29518/stats/batting]s impressive results with a seemingly suboptimal approach, whether the Nats would be better off if they hadn’t traded pitching prior to the season, David Rubenstein’s Orioles optimism, and Corbin Carroll [https://www.fangraphs.com/players/corbin-carroll/25878/stats/batting]’s triples pace. Then (1:04:45) they talk to EW listener Jacob Redmon, who found himself at the center of a viral video this week when he was slapped by a man who objected to his staying seated during the National Anthem, about how the incident developed, what the video didn’t show, and what he took from the experience. Finally (1:57:33), Ben talks to Kenny Lofton [https://www.fangraphs.com/players/kenny-lofton/246/stats/batting] about his exclusion from the Hall of Fame, his Cooperstown-caliber career, and his oulook for induction.

Effectively Wild Episode 2507: Nothing Ventured, Nothing Named

EWFI [http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/ewlogofi.png] Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Ben’s jury duty and his reaction to Meg and Craig’s pillow talk on the preceding episode. Then they discuss why All-Star Game pitching is overpowering, whether the Home Run Derby balls were juiced (and whether it matters), another earliest-ever Opening Day, MLB’s crackdown on teams’ boundary-pushing use of dugout iPads, Shohei Ohtani [https://www.fangraphs.com/players/shohei-ohtani/19755/stats/batting]’s pitching pause, MLB app complaints, extensions for Chase Burns [https://www.fangraphs.com/players/chase-burns/35333/stats/pitching] and Kyle Bradish [https://www.fangraphs.com/players/kyle-bradish/24586/stats/pitching], Luis Arraez [https://www.fangraphs.com/players/luis-arraez/18568/stats/batting] as a prize of the trade deadline, and the funniest tech startups the Dodgers have seeded.
