Ep. 87 — Alex and Bobby talk the wonders of the Justin Verlander no-hitter and dream of a league where every team is the Astros. Then they take a deep dive into the world of baseball conspiracy theories, going over a few big ones — including an anti-Expos bent and the rigging of Cal Ripken Jr.’s streak — to assess their truth. This week’s Three Up, Three Down features a galaxy brain take on leads from A-Rod and some postseason game theory.
