Ep. 26 — Back on the same coast, Bobby and Alex discuss the Andrew McCutchen at length, dive down the rabbit hole of what a 50 inning baseball game would look like (not baseball, is the answer), take a bite out of Prince Fielder’s wonderfully bizarre food show, and answer a listener question — their very first! — about the possibilities of trading from scrub to star. Then they have an in-depth conversation about why baseball doesn’t have a LeBron equivalent; i.e., an ambassador for the game who becomes a worthy interview on things beyond the sport itself. They wrap it up by bringing back an old friend and seeing how the offseason is treating him.
