From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): What a first day of the 2025 postseason! Bradfo was boots on the ground at Yankee Stadium to get a first-hand look at a dynamic that should be celebrated throughout the baseball world - the return of dominant starting pitching to the postseason. He not only breaks down Garrett Crochet's 117-pitch outing (with help from a conversation with Crochet), but also joins Gordo (Play Tessie) to reflect on a flurry of memorable starts throughout the Wild Card round. A year after the relievers pitched more innings than the starters in the postseason, we might be getting back to the alpha starting pitchers taking over in the playoffs once again. And to tie a bow on the discussion, Bradfo also talks with David Cone about functioning as a workhorse in the postseason. He did, after all, throw 152 pitches in one playoff game 30 years ago.
