Meg Rowley

Hello, and welcome to episode 2537 of Effectively Wild, a baseball podcast from FanGraphs, presented by our Patreon supporters.

I am Ben Lindbergh of The Ringer, joined by Meg Rowley of FanGraphs.

Hello, Meg.

Hello.

Hello, and welcome to episode 2536 of Effectively Wild, a FanGraphs baseball podcast, brought to you by our Patreon supporters.

I'm Meg Rowley of FanGraphs, and I am joined by Ben Lindbergh of The Ringer.

Ben, how are you?

I'm doing okay.

It's the only show I need.

Hosted by Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley.

I wanna hear about Shohei Ohtani.

Or Mike Trout with three R's.

Hello, and welcome to episode 2535 of Effectively Wild, a baseball podcast from FanGraphs presented by our Patreon supporters.

I am Ben Lindbergh of The Ringer, joined by Meg Rowley of FanGraphs.

Hello, Meg.

Hello.

Hello, and welcome to episode 2533 of Effectively Wild, a baseball podcast from FanGraphs, presented by our Patreon supporters.

I am Ben Lindbergh of The Ringer, not joined today by Meg Rowley of FanGraphs, but she will be back next time.

This is our last Meg-less episode, and then her vacation will be complete, and she will return to us next week.

And, you know, until today at least, I feel like I had kinda kept it in check when it comes to how long the episodes are, because I'm sort of notorious for when Meg is away, then Ben will play when it comes to talking to a lot of people and doing a lot of [laughs] segments.

Hello, and welcome to episode 2531 of Effectively Wild, a baseball podcast from FanGraphs, presented by our Patreon supporters.

I am Ben Lindbergh of The Ringer, once again not joined by Meg Rowley of FanGraphs, who has decided to stay away for a second whole week.

That was actually the plan all along.

Meg continues to be on vacation.

I am Ben Lindbergh of The Ringer.

Once again, not joined by Meg Rowley of FanGraphs, who has ditched me in favor of vacation.

Understandable.

And so I am extending this series that I started earlier this week, where I am briefly resurrecting defunct former dearly departed baseball podcasts.

I am Ben Lindbergh of The Ringer.

Again, not joined by Meg Rowley of FanGraphs, who remains on vacation, and more power to her.

So continuing in the vein of the miniseries I started earlier this week when I was joined by the hosts of the dearly departed Roundtable podcast, I am bringing back another defunct baseball podcast, but beloved baseball podcast, briefly from the dead here.

It's like the Cap-Katal Marte war that said, "May the bridges I burn light the way."

Hello, and welcome to episode 2528 of Effectively Wild, a baseball podcast from FanGraphs, presented by our Patreon supporters.

I am Ben Lindbergh of The Ringer, not joined today by Meg Rowley of FanGraphs, who is on a two-week pre-post-season vacation, recharging her baseball battery.

She'll be back and better than ever.

And in her absence, I have taken it upon myself to try to resurrect some dearly departed baseball podcasts and some podcasters I haven't heard in a while, at least together in their former incarnation.

Totally agree with that.

On the overall arching question of am I the only one who can't stand PCA, there is a thing that Meg Rowley on Effectively Wild keeps bringing up, and it's kind of driving me nuts.

And that is basically saying we – because he does have – I think they even said this in exactly these words.

He does give off like Eddie Haskell vibes.
