Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the impact road dominance has on the postseason crowd experience and discuss NLCS Game 2 and ALCS Game 3, touching on Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s throwback complete game, Kiké Hernández’s historic postseason performance, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. ’s not-so-surprising excellence, the budding Dodgers, pitcher usage when the team is trailing, what to do with Humpy, and more. Then (T:TK:TK) they respond to listener emails about the morals of October taking root, so-called two-game sweeps, “representative” draws, great performances on great pitches and players losing their “local hero” status.
