Nuthin' But Baseball. Hosted by Paul C. Cuthbert and Tab Bamford.
Part of the Revolver Podcast Network.
Paul and Tab kicked off this week’s LDR episode looking around the playoff races around Major League Baseball. In the National League, the Brewers have essentially won their division but the East and West are wide open. The Giants continue to impress with the Dodgers and Padres trying to keep up while the Phillies are trying to hold off the Mets and Braves on the other coast.
As the Red Sox come back to the pack in the American League East, the Yankees and Blue Jays hope to surge into a wild card spot. But the A’s are chasing down the Astros out west, making for an exciting sprint to the finish.
The guys then turned their attention to the incredible scene in Dyersville, Iowa on Thursday night. The Yankees and White Sox played an exciting game in a setting that looked like a Norman Rockwell painting come to life. The aesthetics of the game were amazing – the game itself was as compelling as any regular season game between playoff-caliber teams as possible. And the walk-off winner from Chicago’s Tim Anderson put an exclamation point in a marvelous night.
How do the White Sox and Yankees stack up for the coming playoff chase? The guys took a look at the case for each as a potential World Series team… and identified a few things both teams need to work on down the stretch.
The show closed, as always, with Tab’s Fantasy Add of the Week. Who should you add in time for your fantasy playoffs to start? Give a listen to find out!
