Ep. 24 — Bobby and Alex kick off 2018 with a rundown of some recent baseball news, then dive into one former Mets player’s strange in-game habits and dissect another’s Twitter. Then they have an extended discussion on a pair of troubling stories from around baseball involving misconduct against women both on and off the field, and talk about the issue of violence against women in the sport at large. They wrap up the episode with a few hypotheses on things that players would like to leave in 2017, and a chat about what they hope to see from baseball as fans in 2018.
