Alex and Bobby share their 10 steps to watching and enjoying the World Series, discussing the pitching-heavy teams, the Bryce Harper narratives to come, the Nationals and Astros as patchworks of tanking teams, the joy of rooting for Good Players and against Bad Players, the Nationals as the perfect foil to the Astros, and more. This week’s Three Up, Three Down features a radically bad plan for minor league baseball and the beauty of baseball as a packaged product on TV.
