Ep. 32 — There’s actual, almost real baseball! Alex and Bobby dive into Spring Training, including our first look at Shohei Ohtani, Noah Syndergaard’s body, some Very Good Yankees, and the return of the Freak. They briefly discuss Derek Jeter’s hate-hate relationship with the Marlins’ sculpture in center field. Then they dissect two awful stories from the Braves and Phillies in the last week, and by the end they’ve basically solved both racism and toxic masculinity. They wrap it up with an update on Golden Boy Tim Tebow, and talk at length about camels before Bobby has to cut the mics.
