Successfully Wild Episode 2179: Missed Connection
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley debate whether Nike’s City Connect uniforms are over, the Dodgers’ double injury dodgers of Mookie Betts and Yoshinobu Yamamoto (with Kyle Bradish returning to IL), the upcoming comeback of Gerrit Cole, Max Scherzer , and Clayton Kershaw , the hot Carlos Correa , Elly De La Cruz and the thrill of unexpected scoring, how best to handle a hypothetical hitter who only hits grand slams, David Fletcher’s odd season and the switch to a true two-way game , the possible fallout from referee Pat Hoberg’s gambling scandal, the dead ball at NPB, and how Roki Sasaki’s lack of fitness could affect his free agent future.
Introduction to audio: The Shirey Brothers, “Effectively Wild Theme”
Audio Outro: Ian Phillips, “Effectively Wild Theme”
