Dynasties Get Remembered, Franchises Never Die

We’ve missed so much! Bobby and Alex review the last couple weeks of baseball, including a fond farewell to the Yankees, our Small Adult Son Brock Holt, and a wild, wild night at Yankee Stadium. Then they chat about the public’s need to dub Very Good teams as “dynasties,” and debate when that turns into a franchise-defining team. Finally, they dive into the optics of the 2018 playoffs and baseball’s resistance to change as defined by John Smoltz and the Tomahawk Chop. It’s an abbreviated episode, but the gang will be back this weekend!
