Episode Details

Matt Dery joins Ken and Anthony and immediately jumps into the fight over John's take that an ALCS run should force organizational change, arguing it's unfair to demand that from a team that's made the ALCS two of the last three years. The conversation shifts into the bullpen's blueprint down the stretch (leaning on Hernandez, Cimber, Gaddis and Cade Smith, with hopes for a healthy Colin Holderman), Parker Messick's underrated Cy Young case, and why the additions of veteran bats Jo Adell and Nathaniel Lowe give Derry more confidence in the lineup heading into October. It closes with a lighter moment as Ken asks Derry, a father of two, for his take on when it's appropriate for a kid to get a tattoo.
