Ep. 47 — Bobby and Alex banter briefly about Noah Syndergaard’s misfortunes at a kids camp, a weird rant by the Braves broadcasters, some bad tweets from MLB’s account, and a recent New York Times piece about Josh Hader. Then they’re joined by Kelly Wallace, avid Cubs fan and editor-in-chief of the upcoming website Expanded Roster, to talk about how arts writing influences her baseball writing, why she saw a need for a baseball site devoted to diverse perspectives, and how to make baseball socialist.
