Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about a fresh wave of “breakout candidate” crimes, Jerry Dipoto’s latest Meg-maddening comments, the rise of the “kick change,” how ball/strike calls differ from other boundary calls, Barry Bonds’s comments about Shohei Ohtani, and more. Then they preview the 2025 Atlanta Braves (50:56) with 92.9 The Game’s Grant McAuley, and the 2025 Miami Marlins (1:35:27) with Fish on First’s Kevin Barral. 2025 EW Season Preview Series ALBALCHWATHBOSCLEHOUNYYDETLAATBRKCRSEATORMINTEX NLATLCHCARIMIACINCOLNYMMILLADPHIPITSDPWSNSTLSFG .intro-team, .intro-team td { font-family: lato, Arial, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 20px; } .intro-team .intro-header { /*display: none;*/ text-align: center; } .team-lg { text-align: center; width: 100%; } /* [class^="team-box-"] > div { display: inline-block; width: 48%; } [class^="team-box-"] > div table { width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; } [class^="team-box-"] > div td { background-color: #efefef; border: 1px solid #ccc; line-height: 2; text-align: center; cursor: default; } [class^="team-box-"] > div a { color: #000; text-decoration: none; display: block; width: 100% } [class^="team-box-"] > div a:hover { color: #50ae26; } [class^="team-box-"] > div a.link-inactive { color: #aaa; } */ Audio intro: Xavier LeBlanc, “Effectively Wild Theme” Audio interstitial 1: The Shirey Brothers, “Effectively Wild Theme” Audio interstitial 2: Andy Ellison, “Effectively Wild Theme” Audio outro: Tom Rhoads, “Effectively Wild Theme” Link to Passan article Link to breakout screenshot 1 Link to breakout screenshot 2 Link to breakout screenshot 3 Link to Dipoto article Link to kick change info 1 Link to kick change info 2 Link to kick change info 3 Link to kick change info 4 Link to kick change info 5 Link to “new hotness” tweet Link to Naquin article Link to Ishbia article Link to MASN update Link to Jay on Iglesias Link to Hang Up and Listen Link to James quote Link to latest Bonds comments Link to earlier Bonds comments Link to Bonds armor Link to Sam on retaliation Link to Rob on retaliation Link to offseason spending Link to FG payrolls page Link to Braves depth chart Link to Braves offseason tracker Link to Baumann on Braves SP Link to team SP projections Link to team RP projections Link to Grant’s author archive Link to Grant’s podcast Link to Marlins depth chart Link to Marlins offseason tracker Link to Sherman article Link to Sheehan on breakouts Link to 2024 attendance Link to grievance article Link to Kevin’s author archive Link to Kevin’s podcast Link to EW gift subscriptions  Sponsor Us on Patreon  Email Us: [email protected]  EW Subreddit  Effectively Wild Wiki  iTunes Feed (Please rate and review us!)  Spotify Feed  Facebook Group  Bluesky Account  Twitter Account  Get Our Merch! var SERVER_DATA = Object.assign(SERVER_DATA || {}); Source
