Ep. 38 — Bobby and Alex talk about the perfection of Bartolo Colon and his near-perfect game, how Marcus Stroman and Drake are about to drop the hottest mixtape of 2018, and the Angels’ interesting request on behalf of Shohei Ohtani. Then they dive into three troubling stories from the past week that all speak to the exclusionary nature of baseball with regards to race and gender, and discuss some potential remedies. Finally, they give an update on the Mets and the A’s respective seasons thus far, and talk about the Very Rational nature of fandom on Twitter.
