Successfully Wild Episode 2368: F Every little thing, We’re Doing 5 Taters

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about John Brebbia’s return to the large leagues, Kyle Schwarber’s four-homer recreation, the potential for a position-player-pitcher-assisted five-homer recreation, Heliot Ramos and dingers on extraordinarily gradual pitches, an interminable inning, whether or not the playoff race is over and, in that case, whether or not that’s an indictment of the 12-team format, and the profusion of lately promoted pitchers probably in line for postseason begins, then (55:50) reply listener emails about season-ending accidents, accounting for participant intention in WAR, “rounding house,” giving pitchers tall sneakers, making baseball much less random, the worst on-field feeling, pitcher aesthetics, and mid-PA pitching modifications, plus (1:36:34) follow-ups.
