Recorded on Memorial Day, Rhea talks about the complexities of American identity, power, entitlement, the never ending pursuit of equality, and of course, baseball. The results of Rhea's Red Sox/Yankees Twitter poll. Shoutout to @queerfancystats and background on Daniel Murphy's history of unprompted homophobic statements. Plus a rundown on current hitting woes (Paul Goldschmidt, Chris Davis) and hitting streaks (Jose Altuve). Scooter Gennett's incredible season. Are the Dodgers back? And Rhea's fantasy picks and rosin bag questions about Brewers hot bats, baseball books, and Joey Votto.
