Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley joke about the effect of road dominance on the postseason spectator experience and discuss NLCS Game 2 and ALCS Game 3, discussing Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s throwback complete game, the historic playoff production of Kike Hernándezthe less surprising excellence of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.a budding response from the Dodgers, using pitchers when a team is behind, how to deal with Humpy and much more. Then (T:TK:TK) they answer listener emails about the ethics of October rooting, what you might call two-game sweeps that “represent” the tying run, great shots on great pitches, and players who have lost “local hero” status.
