On the World Series MLB The Show podcast with Stephen Ruderman:

#1 Stephen, how much were the Arizona Diamondbacks built with trades with key players that got them to this season’s World Series.

#2 You had a chance to see the Diamondbacks during the season including at Chase Field on a two game trip against the San Francisco Giants. Was it on that trip you realized these guys were for real or was that earlier in the season?

#3 The Diamondbacks were a team who had surprised everyone they last were in the post season in 2017, they have lost 110 games two years ago and the last three seasons they had finished below .500.

#4 The Diamondbacks have beaten some of the best teams in MLB to get here, they got to the post season winning 84 games and just plowing through the post season.

#5 Stephen, talk about Corbin Carroll he might end up being the Diamondbacks MVP. During the regular season he was key on the offense hitting .285, 161 hits, 25 home runs, 76 RBIs. In Carroll’s last two games in game 1 of the World Series had a triple and a run scored. In game 4 against the Philadelphia Phillies scoring two runs, three hits and an RBI.

San Francisco Giants podcast with Morris Phillips: D-Backs Chase Bumgarner out of park, score 3 in the 1st

On the Giants podcast with Morris:

#1 Morris, the way you saw it at Chase Field on Sunday, Giants starter Madison Bumgarner had the kind of outing you don’t see him have too often — getting shelled for six hits and four runs in six innings of work.

#2 You don’t see Bumgarner have too many nights like that, but on Sunday, the Arizona Diamondbacks got to him early scoring three runs in the bottom of the first inning.

#3 The Giants’ Mike Yastrzemski, who hit three home runs on Saturday, hit a triple on Sunday. He’s been a hitting machine during the Diamondbacks series.

#4 Zack Greinke, the Diamondbacks pitcher, was supposed to start, but Merrill Kelly (9-12) got the call for Arizona pitching 5.2 innings, six hits, one run earned, two walks, five strikeouts and didn’t allow a home run.

#5 The San Francisco Giants’ Tyler Beede (3-7, 3.77 ERA) will open up the first game in Chicago Tuesday night. The Cubs will start Cole Hammels (6-4, 3.69 ERA).

On the Giants podcast with Michael:

#1 The San Francisco Giants’ loss last night represented their fifth loss in six games and they have not been out of the NL West cellar since May.

#2 They faced some solid pitching from the Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Alex Young (1-0, 1.80 ERA) who pitched five innings against the Giants for three hits and five strikeouts holding the Giants to just one run.

#3 Michael talks about putting on a finger on what’s wrong with the Giants hitters. Everyone in the lineup on Thursday night are hitting below .300.

#4 The Giants starter Tyler Beede pitched 5 1/3 for four hits, two earned runs and three strikeouts — a good outing, but the relievers gave up three more runs in the 5-1 loss.

#5 Starting pitchers for Friday night at Oracle Park. For the Diamondbacks, Merrill Kelly (7-7, 3.93 ERA), and for the San Francisco Giants, Shaun Anderson (2-2, 3.94 ERA).
