| 10/15/26 | Why Is Hitting So Hard This Postseason? Joey Votto & Alex Bregman Explain | Why has hitting been so difficult this postseason? Joey Votto and Alex Bregman join Jeff Passan for a deep dive into the art of hitting and how the evolution of pitching has changed the game. Two of baseball’s sharpest hitting minds go back and forth on everything from rising fastball velocities in the postseason and changing pitch angles to making adjustments mid-at-bat. They also dig into this postseason specifically, including Shohei Ohtani's struggles while dealing with an injury, and Bregman breaks down his toughest at-bat of the playoffs. Plus, is timing in hitting actually a thing? What do all great hitters have in common? And has the evolution of pitching ultimately made baseball better? Learn more about your ad choices.

| 10/5/26 | Smooth Avocados: Talking All Four Division Series | The Division Series are heating up, and Brian Anderson joins Jeff Passan to break down all four matchups. They start in the American League, where the Rays look to build on a 1-0 series lead against the Yankees, while the White Sox try to do the same against the Guardians. Then, they head to the NL, where the Brewers have a chance to close out the Padres in Game 3, and the Braves and Dodgers battle for control of a series tied at 1-1. Jeff and BA break down what they’ve seen so far, the biggest storylines in each matchup, and what to watch as the Division Series continue. ( () () () () ) Learn more about your ad choices.

| 9/29/26 | MLB Playoff Preview: Breaking Down Every Team | Jeff Passan breaks down the entire postseason field, starting with every Wild Card Series matchup: Red Sox-Yankees, White Sox-Astros, Cubs-Padres and Phillies-Braves. Then, we look ahead to the four teams that earned a bye and are waiting in the Division Series — the Dodgers and Brewers in the NL, and the Rays and Guardians in the AL. Which Wild Card teams are built to make a run? What should we expect from baseball’s top seeds? And what could define the road to the World Series?

| 9/22/26 | Remembering José Fernández, 10 Years Later with Christian Yelich & Dee Strange-Gordon | Ten years after the death of José Fernández, Jeff Passan sits down with two of his former teammates, Christian Yelich and Dee Strange-Gordon, to remember the person behind one of baseball’s most unforgettable stars. Christian and Dee share stories about what José was like as a teammate and friend, from his arrival in the big leagues and the joy and energy he brought to the clubhouse to the moments that still make them smile today. They also reflect on the devastating day they learned of his death and the emotions of returning to the ballpark without him — including the Marlins’ first game back, when Dee led off with a home run and left everyone in the ballpark stunned by a moment that felt almost impossible. Jeff also reflects on José’s complicated legacy and why, 10 years later, he believes more can be done to remember the extraordinary mark Fernández made on the Marlins, Miami and the game of baseball. A conversation about José Fernández — the player, teammate, friend and person they knew — and why his memory still matters 10 years later. Learn more about your ad choices.

| 9/15/26 | Everything to Know About the MLB Lockout | Jeff Passan asked all 30 MLB owners for an interview about baseball's looming labor war. He got 30 nos. So he answers the biggest questions himself — the ones ownership won't touch on the record. MLB is pushing for its first salary cap in over 30 years, and the MLBPA has called the league's proposal "the worst system for players in any of the major sports — and it's not close." With the CBA set to expire and a lockout looking more likely by the week, Jeff breaks down what a cap would actually fix, who benefits, and why a full season could disappear in 2027 the way one did in hockey in 2004-05. Along the way: a hard look at the Dodgers' payroll and luxury tax spending compared to the rest of the league, the legal nuclear options both sides are sitting on, the ghost of 1994, and how close baseball is to a shutdown nobody in charge wants to talk about. Five questions. Zero owners willing to answer them. One very real chance the game stops. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices | 45m 43s | ||||||
