Effectively Wild Episode 2352: Turn Every Paige

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the long-awaited baseball events that occurred during Ben’s brief vacation, highlighted by Rich Hill’ s return to the majors. They also discuss developments involving other quadragenarian pitchers, provide an update on their “2025 in 2025” Patreon campaign, and consider Bryan Woo ’s parents’ dedication to attending all of his starts, additional aspects of the Brewers’ success, the Angels’ lack of rotation turnover, Myles Straw vs. Roki Sasaki , and an especially impressive Ronald Acuña Jr. throw. Then (59:10) they bring on author and researcher Mark Armour to talk about the Satchel Paige Project, Mark’s ongoing, yearslong effort to document every game Paige pitched.
