Successfully Wild Episode 2305: How Low Can it Go?

EWFI
In a grab-bag episode, Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter in regards to the low league BABIP early within the season, probably the most attention-grabbing standings developments thus far (with emphases on the Dodgers, Padres, Braves, and AL Central), Atlanta re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-acquiring Jesse Chavez, early attendance points for the A’s, (team-friendly?) extensions for Jackson Merrill, Kristian Campbell, and Ketel Marte, Dennis Santana’s sartorial innovation, the top of Comerica Park’s filth strip, gamers being advised to not faucet their helmets, a mid-plate-appearance pitching change, a 12-6 slider, the Dodgers’ new, Ohtani-related celebration, ESPN’s annual executives/scouts survey, being “on gear” in climbing, and Carshield baseball adverts.
