Effectively Wild Episode 1391: Down Goes Frazier

Ben Lindbergh and Sam Miller review Sam’s latest observations on Jeff Sullivan-era EW episodes, including musings on Ketel Marte , the worst team draft of all time, and Johnnie LeMaster , then banter about Shohei Ohtani’ s tools, Todd Frazier’ s wild swings, Max Scherzer’ s nose-breaking bunting practice, and Mickey Callaway ’s odd pitching-change justification. They also answer listener emails about Scott Rolen and aliens, the Angels and the .500-est teams of all time, the Houdini-esque masters of escaping bases-loaded, no-outs jams, and a stolen base that wasn’t one, plus a Stat Blast about Ryne Sandberg and the rise of Rynes.
