Playoff baseball is in the air, and in the intro (0:00) we talked about how excited we are for the final week of the season, where everything is still to be played for. Tons of drama to watch as the week unfolds.

In our Yankees-Orioles series recap (5:10), we broke down how the Yankees took 3 of 4 in Baltimore behind strong starting pitching and reliable bullpen work. The only blemish came when they struggled against Trevor Rogers and Kyle Bradish, but overall, it was a “take care of business” type series win.

For the MLB Weekend in Review (23:50), we dove into every playoff race: the NL Wild Card where the Mets slipped out of a spot after losing to the Nationals while the Reds SWEPT the Cubs in Cincinnati, the AL Wild Card where the scorching Guardians won again while the Tigers got swept, setting up a massive three-game set in Cleveland with the Central still in reach, Boston’s series win in Tampa, and Toronto’s series loss in Kansas City but still holding a 3-game AL East lead with the tiebreaker over New York. We also touched on the AL MVP race, Mike Trout’s 400th home run, Nick Castellanos’s beef with his manager, league-wide injuries, the not-dead-yet Marlins coaching staff calling pitches, 100-game winners, and much more.

We open with the intro (0:00), talking about the value of a long walk and the lost art of remembering phone numbers.

Next is the Yankees-Twins Series Recap + Yanks-Orioles Game 1 Recap (6:30). The Yankees took 2 of 3 in Minnesota - dropping Monday after a tough travel turnaround, surviving bullpen issues Tuesday, and bouncing back Wednesday to win the series. In Baltimore, Max Fried dominated in a Game 1 victory. We also discuss the playoff rotation, whether Cam Schlittler fits better in the bullpen, the team’s versatility compared to last year, and their current playoff path.

We wrap with the MLB Week in Review (35:59). In the NL, the Mets took a series from the Padres amidst Juan Soto’s historic run, the Reds stayed hot with a Hunter Greene shutout against Chicago, and the D-Backs and Giants battled out west. In the AL, Cleveland swept Detroit for their seventh straight and is climbing into the Wild Card mix as Boston slipped against the A's. Out west, Seattle and Houston are tied atop the division after the Astros swept Texas and the Mariners won in KC, with Cal Raleigh adding more history.

We start with our Yankees–Red Sox series recap (2:35), where we dive into the Yankees’ 2–1 series win over Boston, highlighted by Aaron Judge’s historic home run that moved him to 4th all-time in franchise history. We also break down Jose Caballero’s continued playing time and whether he’s now overtaken Volpe as the full-time starter, Will Warren’s tough outing on Sunday Night Baseball and what his role might be on the playoff roster, Jazz’s postgame quotes after Saturday’s game, why the AL MVP race feels completely over, and whether finishing this brutal 12-game stretch 7–5 moves the needle for us.

Finally, in our MLB Weekend in Review (30:49), we break down the results across the AL and NL Wild Card races, look at the future schedules to project who could claim the final playoff spot, react to Tarik Skubal’s scare on Friday (thankfully he seems fine), Nick Kurtz’s mammoth home run, the Cubs’ great season and why the fan energy feels muted, whether anyone can get to 100 wins this year, and much more.

In today’s episode (0:00), we begin by honoring the victims of 9/11, reflect on the world of sports at the moment, and even extend an open invite to a guy on TikTok who’s been beefing with us in the comments.

From there, we dive into the Yankees-Tigers series recap (8:01), where we break down the bullpen meltdowns on Tuesday and Wednesday and why that has us worried heading into October. We also discuss the looming question of who will start Game 3 in the playoffs, whether Cam Schlittler has an innings limit this season, and the Yankees’ big 9–3 blowout win on Thursday night - the classic fashion of salvaging the last game in a bad series. We wrap the segment with a preview of the big Boston matchup this weekend.

Finally, in our MLB Week in Review (28:10), we look at the wide-open NL Wild Card race after the Mets’ disastrous four-game sweep in Philly, give our predictions for the AL West and explain why there’s a clear favorite there, wonder if the Padres can realistically catch the Dodgers in the NL West, and much more.

Finally, we went around the league for our MLB Weekend in Review, recapping each series and giving our hottest takes for every team (30:50).
