Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley welcome two old friends to the show to discuss the teams’ recent Fall Classics matchup: former effective Wild co-host/FanGraphs writer (and current Rays Senior Analyst, Baseball Process & Strategy) Jeff Sullivan, and former FanGraphs writer (and current Brewers Senior Director-Player Information and Personnel) August Fagerstrom of Ring Information and Personnel, former expense. They talk about playoff anxiety, the feeling of winning (and losing) the World Series, scouts between teams and the similarities between breweries and radio stations, the toolbox for personnel vs. on the other hand, how they feel responsible for the success of clubs, the differences between internal and external projections, ABS policies, front-office turnover and continuity, internal team podcasts, and more internal podcasts, and more internal ones.
I’m listening in: Beatwriter, “Effective Wild Theme”
I hear something else: Tom Rhoads, “Effective Wild Theme”
