Effectively Wild Episode 1367: Vlad Tidings

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the long-awaited promotion of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. , baseball-watching etiquette at a bachelorette party, and Mike Trout if he weren’t trying, then answer listener emails about Rhys Hoskins , Jacob Rhame , and the latest unwritten-rules flare-up between the Phillies and Mets, Tyler Wade , Andrelton Simmons , and a questionable application of replay view, how home-plate umpires would perform with transparent players, what type of MLB players they’d prefer to be, how best to distribute 50 WAR across a career, the odd assortment of baseball players (and fees) on Cameo, balls bouncing into the strike zone, and the potential effects of a bigger and/or heavier baseball.
