Despite falling behind the Brewers in a early deficit, the Nationals used a late rally to stun a sellout crowd in DC. Many will be quick to point to Trent Grisham's error in RF for allowing the go-ahead run to score, but Josh Hader did toss in a hit-by-pitch and a walk to load the bases. The Nats will head to Los Angeles to take on the Dodgers in the NLDS. All this (and more) on today's episode!

The Nats have extended an offer to Anthony Rendon in for 7 years, $210 - $215 million. It's a good start, but that won't be enough. Some managerial changes are taking place, as Brad Ausmus, Joe Maddon and Clint Hurdle have been fired. Hurdle was probably on his way out of Pittsburgh anyway, but Ausmus got the axe after just 1 year on the job. It seems like the Angels want to hire Maddon. We look ahead to tonight's NL Wild Card game. All this (and more) on today's episode!

That's a wrap! The regular season is over and it's time for the playoffs. It took all 162 games, but the Cardinals clinched the NL Central. Let's recap what we saw this year and survey the postseason field. Who led in all the major statistical categories? It's not too often a free-swinger leads the MLB in batting average, but Tim Anderson won a batting title with only 15 walks on the year. All this (and more) on today's episode!

Pete Alonso is a King in Queens. The New York Mets sensation has set the rookie record for home runs in a season. Justin Verlander got his 3000th career strikeout, crossing yet another key milestone to in his Hall of Fame career. JV is just the second player to hit 3000 strikeouts while striking out 300+ batters in the same season. Randy Johnson is the other. This indicates unparalleled dominance at an age, 36, when most other players have already seen a sharp decline. All this (and more), plus a full recap of every game!

The AL Wild Card game will feature two small-market and analytically-driven teams: The Rays and A's. These two teams are usually slept on in preseason rankings and projections. but they continue to surprise us with winning baseball every year. Pete Alonso tied Aaron Judge's rookie HR record with his 52nd blast of the year. He'll win NL Rookie of the Year. The Yankees have caught the Twins for the MLB lead in homeruns. Could we really expect anyone less from the Bronx Bombers? All this (and more) on today's episode!

The King's Court was rocking, as Felix Hernandez made what was likely his final start in a Seattle Mariners uniform. After 15 years in Seattle, Felix ends his tenure there as a fan favorite with a perfect game, a Cy Young Award, and 2500+ strikeouts on his resume. The Rangers did everything they could to help Mike Minor get his 200th strikeout of the season, such as intentionally missing a pop-up. Was this fair play, or bush league? All this (and more), plus a full recap of every game!

A couple more tickets were punched last night, as the Brewers and Twins clinched postseason berths. The Brewers' road to October has been an improbable one, as they've thrived in the face of losing Christian Yelich to injury. The Twins were a good team on paper, but they really did put it all together to seize the AL Central. Jacob deGrom might mess around and win back-to-back Cy Young awards. Charlie Morton has been surprisingly durable down in Tampa Bay. All this (and more) on today's episode!

Bryce Harper has a thing for facing Hunter Strickland. Pinch hitting yesterday, Harper hit a 116 mph laser into the 2nd deck, putting an exclamation point on a tense situation. The two players have well-documented beef that goes back a few years. With all the heavy usage of elite relievers, should we consider new rules to allow them to hit free agency sooner? They might use up all their bullets otherwise. Marcus Stroman clapped back at Brian Cashman on social media. We're used to Stroman being outspoken, but who was right in this case? All this (and more) on today's episode!

Paul Goldschmidt made his return to Arizona, as he homered in a Cardinals victory. Goldy established himself as one of the best players in all of baseball during his time with the D-Backs, and the fans truly appreciate him for all that he did. Anthony Alford made his first career home run a big one, as he hit a walk-off blast for Blue Jays in the 15th inning against the Orioles. All this (and more), plus a full recap of every game!

The Houston Astros have clinched the AL West and are on their way to securing the best record in franchise history. The Yankees honored CC Sabathia, as he was celebrated for his illustrious career. Time has flown by and it's almost hard to believe that CC played 11 seasons with the Yankees. How does CC's resume stack up among the all time greats? Major League Baseball is using the Arizona Fall League as a training ground, as it continues to test an automated strike zone system. Automated strike zones seem inevitable at this point, and we should probably expect them in the MLB sooner rather than later. All this (and more) on today's episode!
