On the World Series MLB The Show podcast with Augie:

#1 The difference was two runs and the Texas Rangers Corey Seager was the factor in slugging a two run blast to give the Rangers a leg up for the eventual game three, 3-1 win at Chase Field in Phoenix.

#2 Seager also showed some talent with the glove turning a double play making a sliding stop and it made a defensive difference in the eighth inning preventing the Arizona Diamondbacks from scoring.

#3 Max Scherzer who many thought was all but finished performed in the starter role going three innings, two hits and two walks, while four Ranger relievers mopped up and kept the D-Backs just to one run for the rest of the way.

#4 “This is what you play for. This is where you want to be at this moment,” Seager said after game 3 on Monday night. Seager who won NLCS and World Series MVP in 2020 says he’s a driven player and has been here before.

#5 Game 4 Tuesday night will see the Rangers starting Andrew Heaney (0-0 ERA 6.00) and the Diamondbacks will start Joe Mantiply (2-0 ERA 4.26) first pitch 5:03pm PT at Chase. How do you see this game 4?

MLB The Show Post Season podcast with Jerry Feitelberg:

#1 Augie, are the Dodgers done? They are in a 0-2 hole against the Arizona Diamondbacks and are down to their last strike. The Dodgers were the favorites to start the series but who would have expected game 1 with the Diamondbacks greeting the Dodgers with a six run first inning and blowing them out 11-3 not to mention taking game 2 of the NLDS. Both clubs are giving it a go as we record this podcast.

#2 The Texas Rangers took the Baltimore Orioles in three straight games. Critics look to Rangers manager Bruce Bochy for much of the credit in getting the Rangers to the next round of the playoffs.

#3 Bochy had everything working for him in the ALDS against the Orioles. In game three he had the pitching working giving up only one run and the Rangers offense poured it on with a 7-1 win.

#4 Bryce Harper and the Philadelphia Phillies came into this series well prepared and almost took a 2-0 series lead into game 3. The Atlanta Braves are not to be counted out at anytime as the Phillies found out in game 2 as they came back and held onto a 5-4 win to tie the series at 1-1. Augie do the Braves have anymore fight in them left in this series now down 1-2 after losing game 3 on Wednesday in a laugher 10-2.

#5 Astros and Twins tonight at Target Field in Minneapolis the Twins need this one badly as they are down 2-1 and it’s the elimination game. The Astros can make quick work of the Twins they’ve won by scores of 6-4 and 9-1 in games 1 and 3. Talk about tonight’s game 4.
