Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina went into the Cardinals Hall of Fame together, and Nate and Ben get appropriately misty about a pairing we'll probably never see again. Then they celebrate the young core carrying September — Thomas Saggese's breakout, Leo Bernal's Yadi vibes, and another Josh Baez feat of strength — plus Mason Miller's absurd reliever season and why relievers deserve their own award.

Also: a deeply important debate about eating horse, Ben's 24-hour LARP-themed endurance race, Elly De La Cruz spurning the Reds, the Mets getting mad at their own fans, and a round of Who Is This Guy?
