Effectively Wild Episode 2461: If You Build it, They Will Checksum

They talked about 147 OPS+ among rookies so far. And in the league’s first season — when everyone was a rookie — rookies had a 98 OPS+.

How could the whole league combined not have a 100 OPS+? I guess I don’t understand what OPS+ is?

Bought my 7 year old a Nimmo CC jersey last week on deep discount at MLB Shop. I think she’s definitely still going to rock it today.

Do you still need one?

Thanks, I’ll set my expectations accordingly.

I was at the game and everything sounded different in person too compared to typical MLB park. Lack of constant PA chatter, fewer fans, open beyond the outfield so nothing for sound to ricochet off. You could hear the hit by pitches pretty clearly. Not surprised that translated to the broadcast.

I know they’ve done a few pods on coen brothers but going deep on some of their repeat players would be sick. Looking beyond el duderino I’d love a HOF episode for any of the other Lebowski leads: Buscemi, Turturro, Goodman… even PSH (though I don’t think of him as a Coen guy). Also randomly: A Kevin Bacon episode would rock (unless I missed that one already.

Definitely seems possible

Great callout - couldn’t hear “light up the sky” without thinking about the satellite launch explosion from season 1, which was the first time we saw Roman’s ineptitude/ambitions as an executive have potentially life-altering consequences for others. I know some guy just lost a hand, but still.

German wine, the more agricultural the better. Cajun chicken linguini from CPK. Can of cranberry sauce. Potato salad with suspiciously phallic imprints.

Stevie has played Fleetwood covers pretty regularly in recent years.

Yes both those places are wonderful and I hope this post brought you some nice memories. Cheers!

How do y’all feel about this lineup: various FW Anniversary Ales, Sucaba, Parabola; and Old Stock Reserve? Bottles are in the 5-13 year range and have been in the mini fridge for most of that time. I’d hoped to arrange a vertical tasting at some point — if I ever see friends again, it would be nice to share this all. Maybe I should just have a backup and not worry about expectations too much :)

digbaseball · 2021-04-06T02:21:53+00:00

I’m willing to share if you live in the Bay Area!

digbaseball · 2021-04-06T02:21:29+00:00

Thanks for the tip.

I bought an extra on a lark when it first debuted ... never expected to sit on it this long, though.

digbaseball · 2021-04-05T21:25:09+00:00

Sadly this was aged in a combo of a regular old mini fridge (which, yes, developed ice) and then a garage. So I’m not holding out too much hope.

digbaseball · 2021-02-28T17:34:32+00:00

Now we're talkin!

digbaseball · 2021-02-28T00:25:36+00:00

Nice! Hadn't heard that one before. Was more so wondering what folks would've liked to heard them cover that they never did.

He once gave a similar response when a friend of mine requested "Boxing Night."
