Alex and Bobby banter about their superstitions while playing — or watching — baseball. Then they share thoughts on the Field of Dreams game and what actually made it special, as well as Buster Olney’s reporting on the Angels’ supposed limited financial options for extending Shohei Ohtani. They field some voicemails about bullpen catchers, MLB The Show, and separating the owner from the players, and end on a Three Up, Three Down that features an accidental endorsement of a Trea Turner extension and baseball under climate change.
