Alex and Bobby return to their regularly scheduled programming with — what else? — a betting controversy involving umpire Pat Hoberg, and discuss the sport’s increasingly hard-to-ignore gambling problem. Then they react to some comments from former agent Jeff Berry on the league’s economic landscape, cross a couple of items off their season bingo card, and run through this week’s edition of the Unnamed Ranking Segment.
