The One Where We Pull Out the Soapboxes

Ep. 50 — Bobby and Alex banter about one of the more creative managerial fits they’ve seen, and talk about the implications of the Braves endorsement of a political candidate. Then they discuss Daniel Murphy and homophobia in MLB, and take a closer look at the Ronald Acuña hit-by-pitch. Finally, they talk about why getting angry at fans for not showing up to games is misguided, and briefly touch on the Very Good choice for the Marlins to have their English-speaking players take Spanish lessons. 50th episode, so we had to bring out the greatest hits for this one.
