Ep. 64 — Alex and Bobby banter about Adam Ottavino’s not-so-hot take that he would mow down Babe Ruth every time (he would). Then they talk about an anonymous executive claiming that Bruce Maxwell’s anthem kneeling is what’s keeping him out of baseball, and dissect how it relates to the sport’s poor culture. Finally, they examine a report that the Red Sox radio broadcast is considering shifting to a talk show format, and discuss the pros and cons — and different interpretations.
