Ep. 17 — Alex and Bobby get wistful on this one, mourning the loss of Roy Halladay and reminiscing on just how dominant he was in the 2000s, and reflecting on the career of Carlos Beltran as he hangs up the cleats. Then they discuss some baseball players who made headlines this week doing things completely unrelated to baseball. Finally, they air some gripes about flawed awards criteria, and pick some destinations for a few top free agents based on where it ~feels~ like their spirit takes them.

Songs featured in this episode:

Michael Jackson — “Man in the Mirror” • Damian Lillard — “Run It Up” • Nas — “If I Ruled the World” • Notorious B.I.G feat. Ja Rule — “Old Thing Back (Matoma Remix)”
