The Book of Joe Podcast begins with Justin Verlander getting his first World Series win. Hosts Tom Verducci and World Series Champion Joe Maddon discuss the Astros winning Game 5 and taking a 3-2 series lead.  Joe says Verlander was 'dripping' in experience while working through a few tough spots.  Getting the win could be the new complete game in baseball because pitchers just aren't taught to go 9 innings anymore.  We explore what happened through Game 5 and where the Phillies really missed out on a momentum changing moment.  Tom points out the Astros strikeout advantage in the series, but Philly has got to put the ball in play with men on base and they haven't. After highlighting some impact players that weren't stars out of the game, we wrap with Joe's late round draft pick band that still made it big.

The Book of Joe Podcast is a production of iHeart Radio.
