## Resource

In Episode 550, Patrick, Jeffrey and Craig chat about corporate logos and stadium noise and then discuss five mostly baseball topics. 1. It's a caaaaaaaap: The league has it's first CBA proposal...and well, see the segment title. 2. Proof of Life: Which May bouncebacks are real, and why is it definitely Rafael Devers? 3. Mlodz? MLODZ?!: Carmen Mlodzinski hits the restricted list, very briefly. 4. Around the Horn: A lot of injuries and then a philosophical discussion about rallies 5. We swing back around to Confidence Intervals as it's been a while. Five and Dive is listener-supported, you can join our Patreon at patreon.com/fiveanddive .
