Baseball Isn’t Boring

It was the last day of April, and the Blue Jays were two games under .500. That's when Bradfo sat down with Toronto GM Ross Atkins to reflect on his team's journey to that point, and what lies ahead. As we head into the final days of the postseason, it's a great perspective.

So, what exactly is the most important part of hitting when it comes to surviving in the postseason? Is it hitting home runs? Maybe it's simply making contact. Red Sox hitting coach Pete Fatse joined Bradfo to talk about the dynamic, while also discussing the importance of Alex Bregman and managing a lot of voices within each player's hitting inner circle.

The managers of both teams, Dave Roberts and Pat Murphy, joined Ohtani in taking to the podium to offer their...

Baseball Isn't Boring. Fact. And now there is proof that more people are coming to understand that than ever.

As an elite power ranker, Producer Evan is up to ranking anything we ask. Usually it's teams, players, or positions. Not this time.
