Summary

Jeff Passan and Buster convene on a Baggage Claim Thursday to discuss the most soaked they’ve ever been in a winning locker room, their theories for why all the Wild Card series ended in sweeps, John Schneider pulling José Berríos, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. underachieving, falling pretty to recency bias with the Phillies, if Craig Counsell returns to the Brewers, and another postseason exit for the Rays. Then, Sarah Langs on her ideal locker room celebration drink, the Diamondbacks coming back in both games to sweep, Philadelphia’s home field advantage, and Bruce Bochy notching another postseason series win. 18:43 Jeff Passan 39:13 Sarah Langs 47:35 #BleacherTweets Learn more about your ad choices.

Man, Taylor, that was quick. Yeah, man, we were, we were chatting, you know, people are like, oh, you rude against this team.

0:55.0

You root for that team. We root for sweeps here in the media to make things a little bit cleaner.

So while I wish we would have had a game three for the drama and the excitement for something to talk about, this would be so fine with me.

Alright, I've got a theory why we had 420 sweeps. I'm going to share with Jeff Pass and coming up.
