More Puigs, More Teams, More October Things

1–2 minutes

Alex and Bobby bring you their first bad take dramatic reading series, in which they dissect a column arguing against fewer “Yasiel Puigs” in baseball. Preposterous. They also banter about a stolen Ken Griffey Jr. bat, baseball’s power of healing following Northern California fires, new managers around the league, and the glory that has been the FS1 postgame crew this October. Then they give semi-serious takes on the World Series, reflect on some baaad ESPN decisions, and wrap it up with a conversation about some major changes to the MLB coming down the pipeline. It’s all here, folks.
