Sorry five HUNDRED dollars?
Meg Rowley
10:41
FIVE HUNDRED?
Goodness. Uh, I paid $30.
Ben Clemens
10:41
Do you get $350 in gift certificates or something?
San Francisco, probably the most expensive city in the US, will run you 100 bucks
Meg Rowley
10:42
And no worries, Matt - some parks were doing them during intrasquads
Ben Clemens
10:42
Meg are the Mariners going to authenticate them and send them to you?
Meg Rowley
10:42
Nah, I don't think so.
Ben Clemens
10:43
That's a neat thing the Giants are doing to make it worth your while
If they'll let us do a Ruby cutout I'm seriously considering it
Meg Rowley
10:43
Yeah, I'm just looking forward to approximately one billion twitter notifications from Effectively Wild listeners.
Also Ben
10:44
Definitely possible I'm misremembering/not explaining it clearly: https://theathletic.com/1941110/2020/07/21/frame-this-story-willson-co...
Ben Clemens

Yeah seems like it's not so much getting to balls as comfort
And that's fair
10:45
Comfort is realllllly important to framing
Meg Rowley

Ball took a funny hop in Chicago and now it's first and third with no one out for the Twins
Ben Clemens
10:45
The idea is just, his body can handle the old-school stance and he's more comfortable with it
I suppose I see it

Meg, has hosting EW been about what you expected? Anything that has surprised you, positively or otherwise?
Meg Rowley
10:46
Even a small amount of prep makes for better episodes. We have a lot of free flowing stuff but having stats on hand, a quote handy, etc, makes stuff flow a lotttt more smoothly.

Fun inning for Jonathan Hernandez. Well, fun to watch anyway. Probably was rather stressful for him
Ben Clemens
10:47
I wrote an article about Hernandez after he threw, and I'm approximating here, six pitches in the bigs
Tonight did not disappoint
Meg Rowley
10:47
Lol that sounds like a Ben piece
Ben Clemens
10:47
Lol the title

Red Sox need to raise that money so they can not pay Mookie betts
Ben Clemens
10:48
I'm not sure this style of joke will ever get old
Boy, I sure hope Devers turns out as well as Betts so that the Red Sox can trade him for another 65 FV financial flexibility piece
Matt
10:48
Has anyone else still been seeing a lot of spitting/finger-licking? Flaherty was doing it pretty often
Meg Rowley
10:48
haven't really seen much in the way of guys using their towles
towels, rather
Ben Clemens
10:49
Kevin Newman seems to not have the arm to be playing at the depth he plays at
He's had a few plays tonight where he got to it and it's like
Well, I don't see how he's gonna make the throw on time from here
Brian CashGod

I want the Yankees to do one so I can photoshop a Yankee hat onto my Red Sox fan friend, and submit it...
Ben Clemens
10:50
Submit 100 of them!
5 Run Homer
10:50
Which one is Kevin Newman and which one is Kevin Kramer?
Ben Clemens
10:50
Weirdly they're mortal enemies
Gosh that set up almost too well
Connecting…
