World Series Episodes

Mark and Gordon examine the crowded 2026 MLB playoff races, debate whether the expanded postseason rewards mediocre teams and identify the contenders that could be dangerous in October. They also discuss the salary-cap battle, the threat of a 2027 lockout and the biggest questions heading into September.

The 2026 MLB Trade Deadline has passed, but one question remains: did anyone actually improve enough to challenge the Los Angeles Dodgers? Mark and Gordon Kolier analyze the biggest trades, evaluate which teams strengthened their World Series chances, and discuss why the Dodgers continue to stand apart from the rest of Major League Baseball. The conversation explores the impact of deferred contracts, the possibility of a future MLB salary cap, and how contenders such as the Yankees, Phillies, Cubs, Red Sox, Padres, and Brewers positioned themselves for the stretch run. The episode also examines the evolving American and National League playoff races before concluding with a look at the inaugural Women's Professional Baseball League and what its launch could mean for the future of the sport.

Send us a text #Bluejays found their groove in Seattle winning the series 4-3 over the #Mariners in 7 interesting and often exciting games. #Dodgers dominated #Brewers who could only muster 4 runs in 4 games.

Send us a text No longer can #dodgers be talked about as not having won a WS in this century in a 162-game season. There are a few players like Max Muncy who remember taking Covid-19 test after winning the 2020 World Series. No parades. No cheering from the fans. The 2024 championship behind a great job of managing by future HOF manager Dave Roberts makes all the noise go away. Was #yankees manager Aaron Boone outmanaged by Roberts? It sure felt that way. UCLA beat USC in this one. Except Gerri...

Send us a text Just last season the #dbacks came from 2-0 down to beat the #Phillies in the NLCS. So the #Yankees being down 2-0 is not insurmountable. But their fans are going nuts and negative since presumptive AL MVP Aaron Judge has struck out 6 times in 2 games. How will the Yankee fans greet Judge upon his return to the Bronx? #Dodgers Shohei Ohtani will play in game three and lead off. His subluxation of his left shoulder (partial dislocation) may impact how hard he swings - which in case...

Send us a text Do today's Yankee and Dodger fans care about the 1981 World Series? That was the last one between the teams. The Yanks and Dodgers played 11 times from 1941 through 1981. They did not like each other. Really. That's not the case today as all belong to a very exclusive club of millionaires and billionaires. In the #ALCS #Guardians gave it their best shot vs. #Yankees but it was far from enough. Yet Cleveland had great moments from Lane Thomas, Johnkensey Noel, and David Fry but th...
