It’s no viral MLB personality quiz, but I love a week where we get back to our roots by discussing very normal baseball topics, such as: -Noah Syndergaard blaming Woke -MLB radio ads for weapons -Collective! Bargaining! -Two baseball icons passing -Wokes vs. Chuds all star game

Less-Lethal Podcasting

Tipping Pitches

Today • 1 hour, 36 minutes

Bobby and Alex discuss Noah Syndergaard’s lackluster right-wing grift, including whether or not it’s “hard” to be conservative in MLB. Then, they acknowledge that MLB and the MLBPA met for their first official bargaining session ahead of the expiration of the current MLB CBA, discussing whether there’s anything that can be gleaned from the tone and tenor of bargaining this early in the process. Next, they assess the legacies of two huge figures in the baseball world who passed away over the last few weeks: Ted Turner, the larger-than-life owner of the Atlanta Braves, and John Sterling, the iconic Yankees radio broadcaster. Finally, they chat about the idea of a “Wokes” vs. “Chuds” All-Star Game, and whether it would actually be way closer than one might first assume.

Mom-and-Pop Private Equity (feat. Jen Ramos Eisen)

Tipping Pitches

Today • 1 hr, 6 min

This week, Bobby and Alex remedy the mistake of not ranking the Rockies new jersey sponsor, York Space Systems. Then, they're joined by long time friend of the show Jen Ramos Eisen to discuss the growing influence and ownership of Diamond Baseball Holdings, a private equity backed minor league baseball ownership conglomerate that now owns over 40 MiLB teams. They talk about what this means for the current product, whether DBH will comply with contracting minor league teams, and just how the hell they came to be so influential in such a short period of time.

There are a lot of TAKES about the Dodgers swirling around. "They're ruining the game," "We need a salary cap," "They have an unfair advantage," and so on. This week on the show, we decided to dig very deep into some of these Takes and decide whether they hold up to scrutiny

It's the Sixth Annual State of Labor In Baseball, with your friend and mine @baumann.bsky.social. Yes, there will be a lockout and we talked about why. Yes, we talked about the Dodgers. Yes, we talked about the salary cap. And finally, yes, Michael did share another Consumer Rant™️

Bobby and Alex are joined by certified Friend of the Show Michael Baumann for their sixth annual State of Labor In Baseball — a wide-ranging conversation about the mounting labor issues a little less than two years from the expiration of the MLB CBA. The three discuss the salary cap and alleged mounting support for it, the state of Dodgers payroll discourse, competitive balance, the international amateur draft, the impending 2026 lockout, and more. Plus: Michael's annual consumer rant, this time about streaming service libraries.

"but then if you're not Bobby or Alex, who IS running this account?"

Angelos: Let's take another question. Let me take another question. No, I'm not going to let you ask any more questions because it's highly inappropriate on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

mr. president: a second alex rodríguez has hit the texas rangers

a post by Francys Romero on X: The Everything App: Blaze Your Glory

it reads: “Cuban OF Alex Rodriguez (16) officially signed with the Texas Rangers.

Bonus deal: $400,000.

He left Cuba in 2020 after being a member of the U-12 national team for the 2019 World Cup.”

along with a picture of this literal 16-year-old in the typical signing outfit of a collared shirt and a baseball jersey (a rangers jersey, obviously), signing what’s probably a blank piece of paper
