7. The Payoff: The Spider-Men
41:35The penultimate of Season 3 sees your favorite electronic sports baseball video game podcast discussing a surprisingly high number of 99 overalls. OK, but how many is too many? We can't figure out how someone doesn't get a 99. I'm sorry, is Jonathan playing The Show again? Hot Take: This system isn't broken, but it does need some work. Also, shocker, Nick has a problem with some of the Finest Series. Bonus: The numbers suggest someone might have a serious problem with the American League Central.------Music: "You're The Dummy" by Derek CleggTwitter: @ThisIsThePayoffTikTok: @ThisIsThePayoffTwitch: GitGudNickEmail: payoffpod@elohel.com
