So these uniforms are an homage to NYU? Wut? Our fashionistas discuss the purple controversy, the nearly disastrous Reds series and the Justin Verlander blues. They also sing for the unsung heroes of the bullpen until Ben ruins it by crying about Camilo.

Our new cocktail podcast, The Perfect Sip, is on hiatus but new episodes are in production. (Yeah, it's taking a long time ... life, you know?) If you haven't listened yet, you can catch up here: https://the-perfect-sip.captivate.fm/listen
