Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley announce their live postseason plans before detailing Game 4 of the Phillies vs. Dodgers NLDS, including their thoughts on Orion Kerkering’s game-ending error and the events that preceded it, would baseball be better or worse without the miserable on-field numbers, the future of the Phillies, and the formidable Dodgers. Then, after some reflections on the Brewers and Cubs, they mock baseball’s culture of pitching paranoia (53:29), the impact of high-tech pitching machines (1:09:20), impending MLB free agent NPB slugger Munetaka Murakami (1:17:00), and potentially encouraging comments about MLB’s path to unified broadcast rights (1:20:58), as well as from Meg (1:30:05) Postscript news about the Mariners’ ALDS Game 5 victory.
