Ep. 73 — We hope you’re not sick of Bryce Harper yet! In this episode, Alex and Bobby talk about Bryce’s return to D.C. and the ensuing fan reception. They also chat about Ronald Acuña’s contract extension and what it means for the state of free agency (it’s, uh, not good), and a minor league promotion involving walk-up songs. Then they throw out some of things in the baseball world they’ve been thinking about in this week’s Three Up, Three Down, including overpaying for ballpark food and Ramón Laureano’s arm. Finally, they check in on the unearned confidence of being A’s and Mets fans in April.
