This week on the podcast, we're doing something a little different. Instead of talking about the week's news or keeping you all abreast of the latest Alex Rodriguez happenings, we've prepared a fictional narrative betting scandal — complete with fake articles, TV hits, federal investigations, and more — to explore whether the baseball world is prepared for a bona fide gambling catastrophe. Come along on this (only slightly horrifying) journey!

Tipping Pitches features original music from Steve Sladkowski of ⁠PUP (!!!).⁠

Bobby and Alex debut some exciting new material, before digging into the numbers behind Shohei Ohtani's and Aaron Judge's remarkable seasons. Then, they bounce back and forth drafting the worst discourse cycles that crop up every MLB season without fail.

Alex and Bobby dig into the strange legal battle that Mark Attanasio has found himself ensnared in, then check in on an NIL lawsuit involving the Pirates’ new Sheetz jersey patch, try and make sense of a possible six-inning minimum requirement for starting pitchers, and rank the 10 Bill of Rights amendments (yes, seriously).
