Ohtani wants to play, Mattingly in/Espada out, Freddy P DOMINATES + Katie Woo & Chandler Rome join

Thursday’s Rays-Guardians game got bumped up to 1:00 ET because of rain. We’ll be live on YouTube after Game 3 of the NLCS! (Top of show)

(3:07) Freddy Peralta powered the Rays to a series-tying win in Game 2 of the ALCS. Why’s he such a different pitcher with Tampa Bay?

(19:19) Pitchers are better than ever, but AJ still thinks “good baseball wins.” Postseason offenses are paying the price, but can teams make the necessary adjustments?

(22:03) Crush City Territory co-host Chandler Rome joined to discuss the Astros firing Joe Espada. Why drag it out, and what’s next in Houston?

(39:31) Brandon Woodruff threw a bullpen on Tuesday. If he returns for the postseason, does he even fit anywhere?

(41:15) Dodgers Territory co-host Katie Woo explains why LA is living and dying with a compromised Shohei Ohtani and what has to happen to turn the series around.

(57:47) Plenty of opportunities over the next several days to get playoff tickets at a discounted rate…

(1:00:35) Forget letting higher-seeded playoff teams choose their opponents. How about letting the fans do it?

(1:02:58) The Phillies retained Don Mattingly on a two-year deal. Should fans feel comfortable with Mattingly back at the helm?

(1:08:35) Joe Girardi is the latest former Yankee to offer candid criticism after New York’s second straight ALDS exit.

(1:11:27) Overexposing relievers in the postseason can be a real issue…

Hosts: AJ Pierzynski, Erik Kratz, Scott Braun
