## Resource

Bobby and Alex discuss the Philadelphia Phillies’ new hyperbaric chamber partnership and its medical and scientific merit. Then, they update the ranking of the San Francisco Giants’ new jersey sponsor, Airwallex. Finally, in a deeply unhinged effort, they place all 30 MLB organizations on a political compass where the x-axis is a measure of their economic policy and the y-axis is a measure of their social policy. For the first time in Tipping Pitches history, you can follow along, in real time, as Bobby and Alex place the teams on the chart ONLY ON PATREON .
