Alex and Bobby debate the merits of rally towels, then break down the last week in baseball, including a mighty Astros showing again the White Sox, the endless cycle of Rays “resources” discourse, the exceptional balance between the Giants and Dodgers, and more. They also listen to some voicemails about just, like, enjoying things, the virtues of losing your voice, and the difference between Thom Brennaman and Jim Kaat’s offenses. This week’s Three Up, Three Down features a modest proposal from Tony La Russa and One Weird Trick That Made the Red Sox Likable. Songs featured in this episode: Haim — "Gasoline" • Robyn — "Call Your Girlfriend" • Booker T & the M.G.’s — “Green Onions”
