Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about a failing effort to make peanuts a ballpark staple in Japan, preview the various Division Series (10:32), discuss the deep, enduring desire of former GM Paul Richards to trade his team for an entire other team (47:48), answer listener emails (1:06:50) about postseason “sweeps” and traitorous base coaches (and extraneous conductors?), and Stat Blast (1:22:21) about Tyler Clippard, Cam Gallagher, splitting the top 4 MVP finishers between two teams, the correlation between payroll and wins, and Orioles regression defiance.
Audio intro: Jimmy Kramer, “Effectively Wild Theme”
Audio outro: Benny and A Million Shetland Ponies, “Effectively Wild Theme (Horny)”
