In our 63rd episode, Mike Couillard and Jeremy Brewer open by discussing the outstanding playoff theatre so far before diving into MLB and baseball card news and notes. Then we revisit our Razzball staff preseason picks to see what went right, what went wrong, and which fellow writers had some of our favorite calls.
