Episode 486: NLCS Game 1 didn’t go as advised, but that didn’t stop it from being a banger.

The Milwaukee Brewers claim victory in Game 1 of the NLCS over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Jacob Misiorowski took the pill against All-Star and two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal in a pitching matchup that was expected to be the best in the playoffs, but fell flat instead. Both pitchers struggled at points in their outings and turned the game over to their bullpens early. Dallas, JayHay, Tyler, and Jared all break down the performances from both starting pitchers and praise the series-altering work the Brewers’ bullpen did in Game 1.

The guys talk about the offenses that did not particularly show up in a big way but showed out when needed most for the Brewers. The multiple ways of scoring the Crew are proficient in came through for them with a Luis Lara RBI to push them over the top.

Listen to the full breakdown of NLCS Game 1 and stay for the group’s official picks and predictions for the ALCS that features the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cleveland Guardians.

Episode 485: The Guardians Complete the Comeback

The Cleveland Guardians complete the comeback from a 2-0 series deficit against the Chicago White Sox. Gavin Williams and José Ramírez put the team on their backs and give them just enough for the series victory. The guys talk about each of the Guardians’ standout performances from Game 5 and put them into historical perspective.

They give their flowers to the Chicago White Sox for their magical season and historic turnaround. The pod turns its attention to the heavyweight fight that is the NLCS. The Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers—the two best teams in the National League all season—meet up in a best-of-seven matchup that the majority of the pod thinks might only go 5 games.

Episode 484: Winner-Take-All Saturday Night.

The Guardians get off the mat and even the series in what was a cauldron atmosphere on the South Side of Chicago. The guys break down a back-and-forth Game 4 and talk about who has the edge heading into Game 5.

Former podcast guest Jeff Passan dropped the news that MLB sent the MLBPA a new proposal to avoid the lockout, with some interesting new wrinkles but the same non-starter. Everyone on the show reacts to the new offer and the thought of a 154-game season.

Episode 481: Two teams are one win away from advancing to the Championship Series.

The White Sox and Rays have taken commanding 2-0 leads that almost feel insurmountable. Jared, Tyler, Dallas, and JayHay break down what they saw in both Game 2s.

The episode takes a turn when Dallas asks if we’ll see the Pope in Chicago, before talking about the Yankees’ no-show in their Game 2. The four errors in the afternoon caused Cam Schlittler to look human and gave the Yankees a 2-0 deficit heading back to the Bronx.

A five-star pitching matchup is in store tomorrow as Chris Sale and Yoshinobu Yamamoto clash in an even series heading back to the Chop House.
