Episode 48 | The World Series Concludes & The Offseason Begins

This week on The Diamond Duo Podcast, Tom and Tony grit their teeth and let out a disgruntled sigh as they are forced to congratulate the Houston Astros for winning the 2022 World Series. The two pick up right where they left off last week and cover the final four games of the Fall Classic right out of the gate! All stories and key moments from Philly's Game 3 offensive showcase, Houston's combined no-hitter in Game 4, the close-as-can-be Game 5, and the decisive Game 6 are explored and discussed in this opening segment. Though Houston's victory does hurt, it hurts especially more for the duo as this opens the door for them to follow up on a bet they set so long ago. Yes, the two finally have a punishment for losing fantasy baseball; we won't dare spoil it here so you'll just have to listen and see! Following the Game 6 discussion, Tom and Tony rattle off some interesting stats and storylines to put the bookend on this World Series and this season of baseball! Though the season may officially be over, baseball news and moves will never stop! This is apparent in the major headlines the two go over immediately after the Postseason talk. They  touch upon the first two moves of the offseason, the Gold Glove and Roberto Clemente Award winners, and the conclusion of the White Sox tiresome search to find a new manager! With the offseason upon us and free agency about to kick into high gear, be sure to stay up to date on all the latest episodes of The Diamond Duo Podcast for all the latest transactions and big storylines!
