Effectively Wild Episode 2371: Why No No-Nos?

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about whether Trent Grisham’ s 30-homer season is more or less surprising than Juan Soto’ s almost-30-steal season, Colson Montgomery ’s dinger spree, why there hasn’t been a no-hitter this season, and the exciting-but-boring AL/NL West races. Then (26:47) they bring on top-tier Patreon supporter Ashton Moss to banter about his baseball background and answer listener emails about the value of crowds, minor leaguers and strikeouts, WAR and pitcher value, the effect of funk on familiarity, double switches, automatic doubles, missing bats, rounding bases, and BP with fielders, plus (1:46:18) a postscript.
