Effectively Wild Episode 1892: Keeping it 100

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the impending premiere of Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon , the projection-system verdict on the Braves’ extension of Michael Harris II , the White Sox signing Elvis Andrus , the possibly underrated, could’ve-been-Hall-of-Fame career of José Abreu , and the sophomore improvement of Ha-Seong Kim , then (25:06) answer listener emails about Albert Pujols and the 100-WAR threshold, big leaguers who’ve lost more games in their lives than they’ve won, and at which level a team would be unable to win even one game in a season were it promoted to the majors, followed by a Meet a Major Leaguer segment (51:08) on the Rockies’ Wynton Bernard , the Mariners’ Brennan Bernardino , and the Diamondbacks’ Stone Garrett , Stat Blasts (1:08:49) about the most first-round picks in a team game (and a starting lineup), streaks of team games with identical scores, and the highest WAR by a player with a negative WPA, plus a Past Blast (1:25:20) from 1892 (including a surprising Ed Delahanty comp) and (1:31:51) multiple Taylor Ward broadcaster mistakes.
