Jeff Blair & Kevin Barker discuss the Phillies scoring early and often against Arizona before being joined by Sportsnet’s Hazel Mae ahead of Game 3 of the ALCS between the Rangers and Astros. Hazel talks about the mood surrounding both teams with Texas leading the series, what Dusty Baker is telling his players down 0-2, and what to expect from ace pitcher Max Scherzer tonight in front of the home crowd. Later, long-time Cardinals ace and MLB on FOX analyst Adam Wainwright (27:47) shares his thoughts on the current postseason overall, pitching in the postseason compared to the regular season, his view on starting pitchers having a shorter leash and getting pulled earlier, and more on Scherzer’s return tonight.
