Keith and DVR discuss the D-backs' planned hook for Brandon Pfaadt in Game 3 of the NLCS, why the decision ultimately made sense despite how well Pfaadt pitched in the outing, a few challenges that come with utilizing matchup splits, the rise of Jordan Montgomery, Yordan Alvarez's absurd success against left-handed pitching throughout his time in the big leagues, and a few players Keith saw during his trip to the Arizona Fall League.
