Effectively Wild Episode 2212: Baseball in a Country Twice As High As Coors Field

EWFI
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley small talk about Shohei Ohtani, Ronald Acuña Jr., and measuring power/speed quality and the White Sox in some way playing method even worse under Grady Sizemore, act on hippos, A-Rod’s relationships, double plates/bases, 40-something players, gamer forecasts, and one-pitch very first strikeouts, and respond to a brand-new sort of bases-loaded walk and personal equity’s attack into youth sports. Then (52:12) they talk with Matthew DeSantis and Ramon Riesgo of the Bhutan Baseball & Softball Association about the origins, advancement, and future of baseball in Bhutan and the Hudson Valley Renegades’ current Bhutan Night.
