Show Notes
The Book of Joe Podcast begins with the Padres 5-3 win over the Dodgers. Hosts Tom Verducci and World Series Champion Joe Maddon were both impressed with the managing job of Bob Melvin. The ability of Yu Darvish to change velocity is amazing and Joe thinks the gameplan included not throwing the same pitch twice during an at-bat. Over to the Astros win, Joe explores Seattle bringing starter Robbie Ray to the mound as a reliever. Tom asks Joe about walking a batter with the bases loaded and the strategy that goes into facing a player like Aaron Judge. With the passing of former MLB pitcher Dick Ellsworth, Tom offers up an amazing memory of just how many innings he pitched. How does the Cleveland fishing scandal relate to athletes always looking for an edge? Plus, we wrap up with Tom revisiting his Jefferson Starship collection and asking Joe for some classic rock recommendations.
