Ep. 55 — Alex and Bobby banter about Giancarlo Stanton’s hit-by-pitch courtesy of a Red Sox fan, David Wright’s farewell, and C.C. Sabathia’s shameless plunking. Then they pick a couple players who are about to make an unlikely splash on the national stage this postseason in keeping with October tradition, and marvel at the sheer chaos that has shrouded the final days of the season. Finally, Bobby makes an impassioned case for Jacob deGrom as the NL MVP, his sweet and large, lanky son.
