David Brown is back to talk about the baseball playoffs and the guys discuss the overwrought narrative around the first round byes, and how it’s really OK that the playoffs are unpredictable. They also talk about the Phillies home field advantage and what made that possible (there’s a direct connection to the current mental state of Cubs fans believe it or not), Bryce Harper’s base running, Yordan Alvarez going from the commode to the batter’s box to homer…twice. Are the Rangers and Phillies already on their way or can Dusty’s Astros and the plucky D’bags fight them off? What is the Astros enduring legacy. Is there really a rivalry with the Rangers? They talk about the return of Ken Griffey Jr. as a pitchman, Evan Carter coming out of nowhere, and much, much, more.
