The New Market Inefficiency Is Markets (feat. Tom Sexton)
2026/10/06
Bobby and Alex discuss the [redacted] market Rays and Brewers looking like October powerhouses in their respective division series vs. the big bad New York Yankees and high-payroll San Diego Padres, respectively. Then, they zoom out and discuss the brand of baseball being played this October thus far, and the unique weirdness of the MLB postseason. After that, they’re joined by Tom Sexton of Trillbilly Workers Party to discuss the proliferation of prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket in professional sports — what does it mean for the integrity of the game, addiction in society at large, and the general malaise that’s begun to blanket American sports.

Arte Moreno Sold the Angels to Stan Kroenke. Why Now?
2026/09/04
Bobby and Alex gather for this mini reaction episode to discuss the surprising sale of the Los Angeles Angels to billionaire serial sports owner Stan Kroenke.

Then, they weigh in on Kroenke’s ownership experience, his frankly absurd real estate portfolio, his Walmart ties and more.

The Mark Walter Fiasco. Plus: Dodgers Myths Busted, Part Two
2026/08/24
Bobby and Alex attempt to unpack the complicated web of financial mess that Mark Walter has created by using money gained from his insurance businesses to personally enrich himself. They assess what it actually means for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and fact check some of the more flippant public claims going around right now about the Dodgers not having enough money to cover future payroll. Then, they reprise “Dodgers Myths, Busted” — a segment they ran in February of 2025 to correct the narrative on some of the more common things you hear about the Dodgers, especially as it pertains to mechanisms within the CBA.

Sipping Pitches 2.0
2026/08/03
Bobby and Alex are joined by friend of the show Matthew Roberson for the sequel to 2025’s much-lauded Sipping Pitches, AKA the MLB liquor taste test. They taste 11 (!!!) alcohols that are owned or prominently sponsored by MLB players and coaches while going around in round-robin fashion sharing takes, thought-provoking questions, and personal anecdotes. This year is bigger, better, and unquestionably drunker. We are sorry in advance.
To listen to Part 2 of this episode, where we drink all 11 of these alcohols in reverse order (it feels painful to even type that), become a member or start a free trial of our Alex Rodriguez VIP Club tier on Patreon.
To receive the Sipping Pitches 2.0 companion zine, designed by friend of the show Josie Naron, sign up for ANY tier of the Tipping Pitches Patreon by Monday, Aug. 10.
