This week on The Diamond Duo Podcast, Tom and Tony finally put the Yankees, Angels, A's, and all other joke teams behind them and get ready to discuss the best of the best in the MLB Postseason! Following some headlines including tributes to two sadly departed baseball greats, a look at the three managers who recently lost their jobs, and a bittersweet farewell to a trio of contemporary legends, the duo devote their entire attention to October baseball! They make fun of the teams that choked at the finish line, they revisit their repulsive preseason predictions, and give some updated guesses that certainly won't be inaccurate by the time this goes up! Kick back and watch the October fireworks fly with us on Episode 75 of The Diamond Duo Podcast!
