One Of The Craziest Days Of Baseball in October Baseball History Oct 21, 2023

Show notes

Last night gave us two incredibly entertaining and nail-biting postseason baseball games, so Jake and Jordan had to jump on the mic for a very special Saturday episode. The guys break down the Astros' insane come-from-behind win against the Rangers that also featured a benches clearing brawl and some Jose Altuve heroics. Then, they discuss the DBacks' 6-5 W over the Phillies, talk about the positives and negatives of bullpen games, explain why the pitch clock was such a big part of this matchup, and look ahead to tonight’s Game 5.

The Phillies Demolish the DBacks in an Absolute Snoozefest, and Previewing Game 3 of the ALCS Oct 18, 2023

Show notes

The only thing that was as impressive as the Phillies pitching last night was their offense.

Then, the guys look ahead to Game 3 of the ALCS and discuss what version of a returning Max Scherzer we’re going to see.
