Ep. 54 — Bobby and Alex banter about a video of Shohei Ohtani singing “Despacito” and wonder who else in MLB has pipes of gold. Then they do a live commentary on the INSANELY on-brand ransom video the two Boston sports fans made for the Red Sox division title banner. They have a discussion about the latest development in Addison Russell’s abuse of his now ex-wife and excoriate the league’s handling of the situation. Finally, they get down and dirty with some stats, including Max Scherzer’s milestone and Christian Yelich’s new property in Cincinnati, and end with the return of the patron saint of the podcast.
