Summary

Freddie Freeman faces the Braves for the first time since putting on a Dodgers uniform and Joey has some strong feelings towards him and his family. Joey also shares an interesting tidbit about the Braves apparently not touching Freeman's locker in the clubhouse since he's left. The guys then get into a variety of other topics including the poor attendance at Oakland A's games, the Tommy Pham/Luke Voit fight, the Nestor Cortes NFT, Tim Anderson flipping off a fan, and of course Joe West's new podcast. Dallas has to leave early so Jared and Joey hold down the fort for the second half of the episode where they get deep into the psyche of Major League umpires. Enjoy!
