Effectively Wild Episode 2215: Boom Boom Goes the Dynamite

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley discuss the solution to a Carlos Estévez prediction cold case, share a baseball-sicko experience prompted by the band Hinds’s new single, put actors on baseball-movie Mount Rushmore (in honor of the late, great, James Earl Jones), scrutinize two suggestions for HBP policing, assess the risks and history of ceremonial first pitches, Nora Ephron’s fandom, and the “first ball” in the movie My Blue Heaven, and banter about a White Sox ad for MLB.TV, the call-up of Jasson Domínguez, Gerrit Cole’s return to form, whether Corbin Burnes’s free agency could play out like Blake Snell’s and Jordan Montgomery’s, the Mets-Braves wild card race, Francisco Lindor, Trea Turner, and fan ovations, the unsung A’s offense, Jerry DiPOBO’s Seattle staying power, and more.
