Effectively Wild Episode 2169: Breaking Down the Impact of Playing Big with Windbigler

EWFI



Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley discuss which slow-starting 2023 pennant winner, the Diamondbacks or Rangers, is more likely to turn their season around and make it to October. They also delve into the saga of Dick Windbigler, a pitcher who injured himself by pausing mid-delivery, with a special appearance by Dick’s widow, Melba Windbigler. The pair then answer listener emails about various baseball-related topics, including requirements for claiming to have seen a game in every MLB ballpark, funny MVP chant alternatives, changing penalties for shift violations, and the concept of clustering hits and outs. They interview major leaguers Ryan Loutos and Jacob Hurtubise and present a Stat Blast segment on the least productive hitting streaks.
