The Book of Joe Podcast begins with the opening weekend of the MLB Playoffs.  Hosts Tom Verducci and World Series Champion Joe Maddon dive into Mets' manager Buck Showalter asking for a substance check on Padres pitcher Joe Musgrove.  Tom explores the change in pitching strategy in the playoffs where 1 out of every 3 balls is a breaking pitch and how managers are handling their top arms. There was ONE at bat this weekend that really impressed Joe and could've changed an entire series.  We put the 'rest vs rust' debate to bed as the Divisional series are about to get underway.  Joe explains how he prepared his lineups and tried to take advantage of using his best arms as often as possible.  Plus, Tom tells us the most underrated car and how today's generation is being robbed of enjoying it. 

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