Ep. 82 — Bobby and Alex briefly banter about watching baseball with the sound off. Then they attempt, in possibly futile fashion, to predict what the second half headlines will be, including a couple players reaching some rarified air, surprise playoff teams and a changing narrative on baseball’s competitive structure. This week’s Three Up, Three Down features baseball players playing tennis and Matt Chapman emerging as baseball’s unlikely sad boy.
