So Things Got Weird Fast

Alex and Bobby talk about the Los Angeles Dodgers winning the World Series, and dissect the timeline of events that immediately followed, including Justin Turner testing positive for COVID-19 and Rob Manfred’s sea of boos. They discuss the Rays and what their postseason showing means for the #sabermetrics #movement, and attempt to determine what qualifies as a “championship drought.” Then they turn their attention to Tony LaRussa and wonder how on Earth he’s the guy for the White Sox, and forecast what’s sure to be a dreary offseason.
