Episode 76 | Wild Card Series Sweeps & The Division Series Through Game 2

This week on The Diamond Duo Podcast, Tom and Tony recap the four Wild Card Series matchups that all ended in a sweep! Much to Tom's horror, he and Tony discuss how & why the Rangers, Twins, D-Backs, & Phillies advanced, while also analyzing what held back each of the four losers. On top of that, the duo deep dives the first two games of both ALDS & NLDS matchups. In addition to postseason baseball, Tom & Tony also wrap up three regular season headlines they missed last week, including Terry Francona's possible retirement & stolen scooter, MLB's investigation into Billy Eppler's tenure with the Mets, & two pitchers who will miss the 2024 season due to injuries. Reminisce in the October baseball you may have missed on Episode 76 of The Diamond Duo Podcast!
