David, Justin and James look back to the first two ALCS games in Houston and look ahead to Game 3 in New York on Saturday. The crew thinks too little credit was being given to the top two Astros pitchers as to why the Yankees offense struggled, but now, the Yankees have their top two pitchers going in Games 3 and 4. David didn’t have a big issue with the way the Yankees handled their pitching staff in Game 1, and says the pitching approach to Jeremy Peña is the biggest key moving forward. The crew discusses what allows Justin Verlander, at age 39, to reach cruise control. They focus on the NLCS as the series shifts to Philly, and how exciting it is to have stars excelling. David believes the Padres have figured out how to deploy Josh Hader, and it’s making a huge difference at the right time.

David, Justin and James get set for the Division Series and preview every matchup. David believes Gerrit Cole is going to succeed in his moment for the Yankees. The crew discusses why Aroldis Chapman’s absence may be addition by subtraction. They also discuss why the Mariners are equipped to pull off the upset of the Astros, how the Braves could utilize Spencer Strider and what Joe Musgrove has done to elevate his stature for the Padres. David and Justin feel differently about Buck Showalter’s decision to have Musgrove checked for a foreign substance. Overall, the biggest takeaway from the Wild Card round? Starting pitching is more important now compared to recent postseasons! Plus, Pedro, Shane Bieber and Sarah Langs.

Matt Blake rejoins the show to discuss the end of the regular season for the Yankees, what fans can expect from the bullpen during the playoffs and how the team survived its rough stretch late in the summer. Blake also details how the Yankees deal with the outside noise in New York and around the country. He explains the process of getting trade acquisitions (Lou Trevino, Scott Effross) acclimated and in a position to succeed out of the bullpen. David, Justin and James put a bow on Aaron Judge’s regular season. Coney believes the return to “the art of pitching” is what he’ll remember the most about the 2022 regular season. The crew discusses why the Texas Rangers could be the most attractive destination for prospective managers, and they make their picks for the Wild Card round.
