Ep. 5 — In their first long distance podcast, Bobby and Alex banter about a weird umpire non-protest, touch on a sad game by one weird Rich Hill, and then talk at length about some of the weirder seasons that players have had in baseball history. Then they spit some piping hot takes in a new segment that’s entirely worth the wait.
