Ep. 81 — Alex and Bobby discuss the pure madness of the Home Run Derby and a slight controversy over Pete Alonso’s comeback victory, plus the rest of the All-Star game festivities. Then they talk about Justin Verlander’s comments on the juiced ball and interrogate Rob Manfred’s response, pondering how the league might be able to reign in the increasing frustration. This week’s Three Up, Three Down features a meditation on baseball’s ability to heal in times of grief, and some good old fashioned hot dog eating goodness.




Songs featured in this episode:


Coast Modern — “Now I’m Cool” • Ducktails — “Hamilton Road” • Booker T. & the M.G.’s — “Green Onions”
