Effectively Wild Episode 2307: The Best Worst Game

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’ s big bonus, Edmundo Sosa ’s beginner’s home run robbery, how much of a difference depth makes, and the relative levels of alarm about the shoulder injuries of Reynaldo López , Victor Robles , and Blake Snell . Then (49:14) they talk to MLB.com’s Michael Clair about what it was like to attend the amateur baseball event of the year: the Division III showdown between Yeshiva and Lehman, who entered their Wednesday doubleheader on the two longest active losing streaks in college baseball.
