As we all brace ourselves for the World Series, it's a great time to take a pause and appreciate a signature moment for the podcast: We have turned three years old. Bradfo is joined by the Baseball Isn't Boring brand's CEO Joe Kelly to reflect on how far BIB has come, while also offering up perspective when it comes to the team he won a World Series title with a year ago, the Dodgers. There is also talk of the Drake Curse and Joe's wish-list of future podcast guests.

George Springer knows a thing or two about succeeding in the postseason, as his historic home run in Game 7 of the ALCS reminded us. It's why it's a perfect time to resurface the conversation Bradfo had with the Toronto outfielder regarding what it takes to live the life of a successful postseason participant. It's a conversation that should be bottled.

It was a perfect time to have another long conversation with Brock Holt. Why? Well, in part because he knows the feeling Shohei Ohtani experienced when making postseason history, still owning the second-best playoff performance (after Ohtani). He also was on the last team who actually beat the Dodgers in the World Series, living that life in 2018. So, with the World Series matchup now set, we turn to a podcast favorite for great perspective on all things baseball, and poisonous spiders.

The Mariners came out on the short end of their Game 7 tilt in Toronto, in large part because of the home run by George Springer off Seattle reliever Eduard Bazardo.

What is it like to come back from a 2-0 deficit in the LCS (as the Blue Jays are on the verge of, and the Diamondbacks managed two years ago)?

When Bradfo had his most recent sit-down with Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto, Seattle was riding high, sitting eight games over .500. And while there was a roller coaster ride after the interview - including three straight losses to the Blue Jays - the perspective was fascinating. It's why, with Dipoto's team on the doorstep of the World Series, it seemed like a great time to resurface the conversation.

As an elite power ranker, Producer Evan is up to ranking anything we ask. Usually it's teams, players, or positions. Not this time. Bradfo has tasked Evan with ranking the managerial openings, going from worst to best. As he proves once again, it's a worthwhile exercise that is based partly in entertainment, partly in gut-feel, and partly in science.

Bradfo and Rich Hill are back with another episode of Baseball Isn't Boring After Dark, this time catching up immediately after the Blue Jays trounced Seattle in the teams' Game 3 ALCS matchup. The biggest takeaway (besides Rich expertly fighting off his dose of melatonin) was the dominance of Shane Bieber. The guys talk about how the Jays' trade deadline acquisition looked like his old self, along with their continued appreciation of all things Vlad Guerrero Jr. The series is getting interesting, which is making these late-night get-togethers even spicier.
