Effectively Wild Episode 2314: Memento Mori
Description
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about a new contender for the highest bat flip, meet major leaguers (14:28 ) Ryan Johnson and Alan Roden, and (48:35 ) answer listener emails about how different baseball would be if losses were free for fans and wins cost extra, whether the Rockies will finish in first before the Dodgers finish in last, whether umpires would stand somewhere else in a full-ABS situation, the record for career games pitched without a decision, catcher’s gear designed for a one-knee-down stance, why more Japanese catchers haven’t joined MLB, and more.
