Bobby and Alex give some quick reactions to the spoken word album of major league umpire and country artist Cowboy Joe West. Then they discuss what expanded playoffs forever might look like, why fans might be allowed back into stadiums this fall, and what Josh Donaldson was thinking as he rounded the bases last week. This week’s Three Up, Three Down features Derek Jeter’s $29 million Airbnb and baseball under wildfires.
