Ep. 58 — Alex and Bobby bring out the ol’ Bad Take Dramatic Reading, this time with a column (if you can call it that) about a “fake” “stat.” They banter about the Mets’s futile GM search, the Wade Miley move that set the baseball world ablaze, and Chris Sale’s belly button. Then they dive into the weird Astros cheating scandal and wonder why they couldn’t do better than Kyle and an iPhone, and look at the way that Manny Machado’s behavior has been assessed by fans and the media. Finally, to preview the World Series, they come up with their best tabloid headlines to match the possible outcomes.
