We're back with a discussion about toxicity in baseball fandom - why people are so mad, how the internet plays into the anger, and what good it's doing us or our teams. We also dig into infamous Mets anti-fan Frank "The Tank" Fleming and real fan Max "Rally Pimp" Wiener! Plus, another culprit in the Ippei gambling scandal, StatCast Bat Tracker, sticky stuff, and more!
