Successfully Wild Episode 2284: Season Preview Sequence: Astros and Cardinals

EWFI
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Ben’s new sound-dampening home windows, listener defenses of MLB’s altered two-way-player rule, and the most recent insupportable “breakout” choose, adopted by Stat Blasts (15:49) concerning the groups with essentially the most winless, non-lossless pitchers and the all-time past-their-prime/time-travel groups. Then they preview the 2025 Houston Astros (32:41) with The Athletic’s Chandler Rome, and the 2025 St. Louis Cardinals (1:25:07) with The Athletic’s Katie Woo.
