Alex and Bobby discuss a plethora of food offerings at MLB stadiums this year, try and fail to decipher some unwritten rules courtesy of the Mets and Phillies, and revisit the fallout from Tim Anderson’s bat flip. Then they talk the Cubs’ defense of Addison Russell and how it relates to league transparency, and ask why Rob Manfred is so unwilling to say the words “the ball is juiced.” Finally, this week’s Three Up, Three Down features the explosion of Vlad-mania and Jimmy Fallon’s apparent introduction to baseball.
