In Episode 495, Patrick, Jeffrey, and Craig chat about Hades II, and then discuss five mostly baseball topics.
1. It’s a Cruel, Cruel Summer: The Mets and Astros crash out of the playoffs, and the Rockies just keep crashing
2. AL WC Preview: We dive into the junior circuit best-of-threes and eventually remember how this segment is supposed to work.
3. NL WC Preview: Ditto for the senior circuit.
4. Silver Linings Scorebook: What of the teams that didn’t make the playoffs this year? Any hope for the near term?
5. Game: Leaderboard Sort. Challenege: Remember players who were literally already mentioned on the show (Difficulty: Impossible)
