Ep. 40 — Alex and Bobby give a proper sendoff to Ichiro (at least for the season) by reminiscing on the incredible career of the true Hit King and discussing their favorite anecdotes about him that may or may not be true. Then they dive into Sonny Gray’s precipitous decline, Trevor Bauer’s general tomfoolery, and Ken Giles inadvertently spurring a different kind of conversation on toxic masculinity and self-harm. Finally, a discussion on injuries around the league turns into the conversation no one has been waiting for: the DH argument. This doesn’t mean they’ll stop teasing it on the show.
