Effectively Wild Episode 1693: Dodger Dog Delivery

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the Mariners calling up pitching prospect Logan Gilbert , the late-inning dominance of Aroldis Chapman and (more unexpectedly) Kendall Graveman , Shohei Ohtani ’s best start of the season, and the Astros providing housing for their minor leaguers, then answer listener emails about their favorite baseball seasons, how long it will take for 2020 footage of fan-free ballparks to seem surprising, MLB shifting to a six-game-a-week schedule, framing vs. flopping, pitchers protesting having to hit by striking out on purpose, ordering ballpark food from home, and the culture of intentional plunkings.
