  • Ken’s great but…

    Ditch Alanna Rizzo who’s an unabashed Dodgers cheerleader. She’s also just not very informed. I’m assuming Ken is being told by higher ups that he has to do the show with her because I can’t imagine why a seasoned guy would hitch his wagon to such a lightweight.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Playoffs are here! Wild Card previews, Competitive Balance spotlight
Q: Can we talk about the Angels' season and ownership changes going forward?
Yes, the Angels had a historically poor season, and upcoming ownership changes and management decisions are likely; this could signal broader franchise shifts rather than a short-term fix.
NLDS Game 3 previews, Yamamoto vs Sale, Rays & White Sox lead 2-0
Q: If the White Sox win the World Series, will other teams copy their bullpen strategy?
Rosenthal explains that bullpening is driven by the current game evolution and organizational constraints, and while teams study it, most will still prefer traditional rotations and longer outings from starters to maintain bullpen balance.
Playoff seeding, A Mea Culpa! Status checks: Judge, Ohtani, Bregman
Q: How will the Braves set up their rotation in the playoffs?
The plan centers on Chris Sale as the lead, with Malley, Holmes, and Perez in the mix, and considerations for who starts game three depending on matchups.
Playoff seeding, A Mea Culpa! Status checks: Judge, Ohtani, Bregman
Q: Has Yordan Alvarez wrapped up the AL MVP award?
The host indicates Alvarez is the frontrunner in OPS and value, with Caminero a strong challenger, but notes voters may weigh DH status and team performance.
Playoff seeding, A Mea Culpa! Status checks: Judge, Ohtani, Bregman
Q: If there is MLB expansion with two new teams, is there also a desire to increase the number of playoff teams?
The discussion notes expansion is tied to a future CBA, with the possibility of eight four-team divisions and expanded playoffs, though specifics are not nailed down.
