Alex and Bobby are joined by writer and comedian Rhea Butcher to discuss the Los Angeles Dodgers and their World Series title, the arc of Rhea’s fandom, separating the concept of baseball from the product of baseball, alternate histories in the sport, and much more. Alex and Bobby also chat about Joe Kelly bursting Rob Manfred’s bubble, a terminally-online Steve Cohen, and Jon Lester’s bar tab.
