Postseason Wake-Up Calls and Kevin Plawecki | 'Baseball Isn't Boring'

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): The two New York teams are now officially one step away from the World Series, with the likes of LA, San Diego, Cleveland and Detroit needing one more game to determine their fate. We look how this postseason has been different, with bullpens taking center stage. Bradfo also sits down with catcher Kevin Plawecki, who has a unique perspective on some pretty important subjects - being employed by the Padres this season, starting a winner-take-all playoff game, experiencing Francisco Lindor as a teammate, and riding through a World Series run in New York with the Mets. It's a great way to keep the postseason blood pumping. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The Daily Ticket: Did Jim Harbaugh Really Know What Connor Stalions Was Doing?

From 'The Daily Ticket' (subscribe here): With the entire nation still talking about Michigan football and the sign stealing scandal, a new report yesterday stated that former Michigan staffer Connor Stalions never filed an expense report in his 17 months working for the team. Does that cement the belief that Stalions was working on his own? Also, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh gives his thoughts about what his brother has been dealing with and drops a new tidbit of information that makes Michigan fans believe Jim had no knowledge of what Stalions was doing. Jeff Riger breaks it all down plus plays some hilarious Harbaugh audio from his press conference earlier this week.
