Ken starts the show with the background behind Drew Rasmussen's return to the Rays before his ALDS Game 3 start. Then it's on to your questions...

-Why doesn't MLB use more tie breakers when deciding playoff teams?

-Will Nolan Arenado ever hit in the postseason and will the Cardinals be back next year?

-Will Tony La Russa and Dusty Baker's success lead to more experienced managers like Buck Showalter returning to the game?

-A Premier League fan from the UK questions why baseball doesn't do away with Interleague play?

-Is starting all games on the final day of the season too much at once?
