Baseball Isn't Boring. Fact. And now there is proof that more people are coming to understand that than ever. But why are ratings for the postseason through the roof, and how come nobody in MLB should be worried about a World Series involving Toronto, Milwaukee or Seattle? John Mamola, sports editor and columnist for Barrett Sports Media, joins Bradfo to answer all those questions and more.

As an elite power ranker, Producer Evan is up to ranking anything we ask. Usually it's teams, players, or positions. Not this time. Bradfo has tasked Evan with ranking the managerial openings, going from worst to best.

Bradfo and Rich Hill are back with another episode of Baseball Isn't Boring After Dark, this time catching up immediately after the Blue Jays trounced Seattle in the teams' Game 3 ALCS matchup. The biggest takeaway (besides Rich expertly fighting off his dose of melatonin) was the dominance of Shane Bieber. The guys talk about how the Jays' trade deadline acquisition looked like his old self, along with their continued appreciation of all things Vlad Guerrero Jr. The series is getting interesting, which is making these late-night get-togethers even spicier.

A hitting coach in this day and age of baseball can be a complicated position. More information. More voices. More philosophies. More seemingly unhittable pitchers. It's why it was a great time for Bradfo to catch up with Red Sox hitting coach Pete Fatse to reflect on the 2025 season, both regarding his team and the world of baseball as a whole. It's the kind of insight (and entertainment) you aren't going to find anywhere else.

The Mets took a chance by not locking up a no-doubt-about-it ace starting pitcher heading into 2025 and it backfired on them. Will they make the same mistake again, or will they make a run at someone like Tarik Skubal. Sammy (Play Tessie) joins Bradfo to present an interesting trade package that might actually pry the Detroit starter away from the Tigers.
