Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the state of the wild cards and whether the pennant races have been more exciting than forecasted despite the lack of actual changes in the playoff field, Cal Raleigh’s latest exploits, Geraldo Perdomo’s quiet excellence, the Orioles’ 2026 outlook, the Dodgers’ rotation and bullpen, Shohei Ohtani’s playoff role(s), the bouncebacks of Mookie Betts and George Springer, Yordan Alvarez’s ankles, James Wood and Spencer Jones’ recession, the season’s end schedule, and whether the team playing spoilers meets fans.
Audio introduction: Jimmy Kramer, “Effective Wild Theme”
Audio OUTRO: Luke Lillard, “Effective Wild Theme”
