Effectively Wild Episode 2483: Brush It Off

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Craig Kimbrel&#8217;s new home, Colton Cowser&#8217;s walk-offs, Chris Taylor&#8217;s rapid retirement, unretirement, and re-retirement, whether the Mets should sell (and whom they could deal), the relative improvement of MLB&#8217;s worst teams, the Blue Jays&#8217; (and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.&#8217;s) punchless contact, the historic hitting of this season&#8217;s MLB debutants, Gage Jump and the best-ever early returns for a draft class, whether the Athletics&#8217; and Pirates&#8217; production has been as lopsided as expected, an Oneil Cruz update, a trio of teams that has benefited from stable rotations, the Astros&#8217; combined no-hitter, the Cubs&#8217; extreme streakiness (and nondescript roster), more Giants innovations in thrusting, and Bryce Harper&#8217;s toothpaste/toothbrush technique, plus postscript updates.
