At long last, Bobby and Alex are joined by enemy of the podcast Richard Staff to discuss his Defector feature on the shrinking of the minor leagues and the growing gap in competition between them and the majors. Afterward, of course they had to get into some shit talking and meme describing.

Bobby and Alex run through a list of news items that have gotten somewhat lost in the shuffle in the last few weeks, including the appraisal of damage to the Tropicana Field roof and the Rays' subsequent 2025 plans, the Orioles reversing course on their left field wall change from two years ago, Diamond Sports group's interminable bankruptcy proceedings, free agency, and more.

This week on the show, Bobby and Alex are joined by friends of the show Jane, Lauren, and Stephen from Batting Around to draft the silliest, most ridiculous, most Online, and just generally dumbest things that happened in the 2024 baseball season. From false ejections to panicked statements and everything in between, this episode runs the gamut (as it always has!).
