It all comes down to this. One more matchup to decide who makes it into the playoffs. We break down the possible playoff scenarios, including the battles for the #2 seed, the #5 seed, and the #7 seed. Right now, only Coach Nick can feel confident in his final standing, and even he technically isn’t guaranteed the #1 seed. After wrapping our heads around the standings madness, we pivot to IRL baseball to chat about our thoughts on bullpens. What type of bullpen failure hurts the most? Do we mind when position players pitch during blowouts? And is the term “choking” used too easily when talking about relievers?
