Gabe Morency and Joe Raineri open the show wondering if the extra days off will be a benefit, or a problem, for the National League Champion Nationals. In the ALCS, Gabe compares the series to that of the Astros-Dodgers World Series from 2017, and saying the Yankees, like the ‘17 Dodgers, are two steps behind the Astros. Learning that Joe Maddon will be the new manager of the Angels, Gabe questions why he would take that job over teams like the Padres, Phillies, or Mets. Matt McCarthy joins the show to talk about the Elite 8 of the Rugby World Cup in Japan.
