Big Time Baseball

Cody and Jon discuss potential landing spots for Aaron Judge, Jacob deGrom and a handful of shortstops who are expected to get paid this offseason. The guys then pivot to the Hall of Fame ballot and question why Rafael Palmero's name is on the ballot.

Cody and Jon tie a ribbon on the 2022 regular season with a tip of the cap to Dusty Baker and the Houston Astros before turning their attention to free agency and where Aaron Judge and Jacob deGrom could end up. Finally the guys discuss the current Hall of Fame ballot and share a few names they feel are more deserving than others.

Jon Heyman joined the Dom Giordano program on 1210 WPHT Philadelphia to discuss his column defending the Astros and the backlash they have received from their cheating scandal.

It seemed like a perfect time to catch up with the Phillies' all-time saves leader. Why? Because Jonathan Papelbon certainly has a unique view of playing baseball in Philadelphia, while also being responsible for one of the most unforgettable moments in Bryce Harper's career - when the two tussled in the dugout as members of the Nationals. Papelbon is never shy about letting his true feelings be heard, which is why this is a must-listen. Before sitting down with Pap, Bradfo does also announce a Baseball Isn't Boring contest, while ranting a bit about MLB's umpire situation. (How does an ump execute a perfect game behind home plate and then never call balls and strikes the rest of the series?) It's all a great way to kick off the final week of the 2022 MLB season.

Cody and Tony go in depth on the NLCS between San Diego and Philadelphia. The guys break down Bryce Harper's legendary go-ahead two run homer as well as the decision to bunt in the 9th by San Diego. Tony suggests no other athlete has lived up to the hype quite like Bryce Harper, maybe besides LeBron James.

Cody and tony take a close look at the World Series matchup between Philadelphia and Houston and try to figure out what Philadelphia can do to be successful against the juggernaut that is the Houston Astros.

Cody and Tony get together to talk about the conclusion of the Championship Series' and what San Diego and New York will have to fix this offseason. Tony gives an inside look at THE at bat from Bryce Harper and compares him to another generational athlete. Then the guys take a close look at the World Series matchup between Philadelphia and Houston to see who has the edge before sharing their predictions on how the series will go.

Cody Decker and Ryan Lavarnway talk about Houston's dominance over New York since Houston joined the American League. The lack of postseason success from New York has the guys wondering if Houston now has the title of the most hated team by every other fan base.

Cody brings in Ryan Lavarnway to break down the NLCS between Philadelphia and San Diego to determine who has the edge moving forward in the series. The guys then pivot their attention to the realistic landing spots for Aaron Judge next season along with a debate on who they'd rather throw a big bag of money at in free agency, Carlos Correa or Trea Turner.

Cody is joined by former big leaguer Ryan Lavarnway to discuss the ongoing Championship Series'. How can New York dig their way out of a two game hole, and who has the upper hand in the NLCS? The guys also debate who will be the most sought after free agents this winter with a close eye on the shortstop market.
