Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley discuss the excitement of the AL Central Division Series, a David Fry prediction, the reliever familiarity effect, an unfortunate TV shot, the Yankees’ ALDS win, the Royals’ chances of returning to October, the Braves firing coaches, the future of Tropicana Field, and MLB’s response to climate change. Then (1:00:24) Ben dives into seven Stat Blasts on various topics, including Jon Berti starting at a new position in the playoffs, Beau Brieske’s game starts and finishes, position-player pitching evolution, clutch hitters in the postseason, players who never faced each other, times-through-the-order penalty, and playoff series lengths. The episode wraps up with a postscript.
