Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘brink’ as in brink of elimination as in the Wild Card as in the postseason. The Yankees blew it at home. They had a chance at the end and were unable to score with bases loaded and no outs! (13:30) Tarik Skubal is the best. What a start for the Tigers. How can anyone score multiple against him? (17:00) The Dodgers crushed the Reds. Who didn’t see that coming? (19:40) Cubs beat the Padres. The Padres could not buy a hit after the first few innings. (24:30) Napheesa Collier went off on the WNBA commissioner. Never seen anything like it. Wow. (41:30) Review: Aka Charlie Sheen. (43:30) Ron Washington is out in LA. No longer the Angels manager. This will be the 5th manager they’ll need to hire in past seven years. No postseason again. Get it, Arte! (48:20) NPPOD. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

1:27.3

If you have an October birthday or you like Halloween or you like any of the characters from the horror movies, Koka. October is the month you want.

1:34.5

And it's time to see how the end of the baseball season will unravel.

1:37.9

And unravel is a great word.

1:39.3

We could have done that as the word of the day.

1:46.2

We went brink because when there's four games, you have to win two out of three.

1:47.7

They play three straight days.

1:51.9

That means today we have four elimination games.

1:53.8

That means four teams. One third of the playoff teams in baseball after 162 game marathon slot.

2:23.1

Lots of people wondering what Aaron Boone was doing.

2:27.3

Max Freed started the game against Garrett Crochet.

2:30.6
