Before Tony Gwynn Jr. and Ben Davis dive into the postseason with featured guests Bret Boone and Ryan Spilborghs, they discuss Howie Kendrick's continual underrated performance (1:52), the Angels' hire of Joe Maddon (2:43), and Mike Trout's involvement in such a decision (4:22). The first of two guests, Bret Boone, joins to talk about the postseason as his brother Aaron (Yankees manager) and father Bob (Nationals assistant GM and VP of player development) find themselves in the thick of things, additionally commenting on the league's new rule changes and his near-MVP season in 2001 (6:01). Later, former outfielder and MLB radio host Ryan Spilborghs digs into the analytical side of things, discussing who has the upper hand in the ALCS and what it's like to be an outfielder at Coors Field (27:49).
