Description
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker share their final thoughts on the Yankees-Guardians series with New York now on their way to face Houston in the ALCS. Later, they hone in on the Phillies 2-0 win over the Padres in Game 1 of the NLCS, particularly Zack Wheeler’s masterful performance where he pitched seven innings of one-hit ball. MLB Insider Jeff Passan comments on why no announcement has been made yet by the Blue Jays on John Schneider, Terry Francona’s decision to start Aaron Civale in a do-or-die scenario, and why the Astros should be disappointed if they aren’t the 2022 World Series champions (31:26).
