October Baseball is Knocking And We Have A Lot to Say

This week on Caught ‘Em Looking:

October Baseball is rapidly approaching, and we have a lot to say about it. [1:26] But first, we have to quickly talk about the worst teams in baseball and try to guess why they are just so bad. [7:30] Then we get into the many games this last week of baseball, and how it will make or break the postseason lineup. [10:50] The Detroit Tigers and the Cleveland Guardians are going head-to-head this week for not only a coveted Wild Card slot, but also the title of American League (AL) Central Champions. [14:38] Which leads us into the larger conversation – how will the American League shake out? With no Division Champions confirmed at the time of recording, and only one team secured in a playoff slot, anything can happen. [15:31] The Houston Astros are playing the Athletics, and Jaela walks down memory lane from her chaotic time in Houston. [17:57] The National League (NL) is a lot more competitive, and at least 4 teams are vying for that last Wild Card slot – the NY Mets, the San Fransico Giants, the Arizona Diamondbacks, and the Cincinnati Reds. Jordan shares his predictions about how that will play out. [22:40] Jaela shares her thoughts on the potential NL West Champions, the LA Dodgers, and their rival, the San Diego Padres. [27:14] Jordan shares his predictions for how the rest of the week will go, and who will end up on top going into October. And Jaela gives some advice to the NY Yankees for winning these next few games. [36:36] Jordan and Jaela predict the AL MVP (probably Aaron Judge), and give some much-deserved flowers to Cal Raleigh. [42:47] Then Jordan talks about the Red Sox closing the season out and the value of the Garret Crochet trade. [47:40] Finally, the automatic ball system (ABS) is making its major league debut next season. We chat about how this could help and change the game.
