About this episode
JD gives his thoughts on the Yankees moving on to the ALDS to take on the Blue Jays, and the results from the rest of the MLB's Wild Card series (00:00). Eric Hosmer, 2015 World Series Champion & co-host of the Diggin' Deep Podcast, joins JD to discuss the postseason action so far, including the craziness that unfolded in Chicago between the Padres and the umpire crew, the resurgence of baseball ratings in 2025, and the intensity of the three-game Wild Card format, before getting into the matchup between the Blue Jays and Yankees (10:12). They chat about the importance of getting length from starting pitcher's to keep the bullpen fresh, the Blue Jays' advantage in the field defensively, and the comparisons between the leaders of each team in Aaron Judge and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Later, JD describes his three keys for the Blue Jays to beat the Yankees and move on to the ALCS (46:43).
