There's been a lot of talk about having a team that is "built for October" rather than built for the regular season, and Jeff is here to explore whether that's actually something a team (the Dodgers or anyone else) can do. He also digs into some reasons why Ryan Pepiot might not have been used in Game 3 of the NLDS. And finally, we talk about TBS's "ALTCast" of NLCS Game 1, featuring Nestor Cortes, Yonder Alonso, Kiké Hernandez, Pedro Martinez, and Albert Pujols. (NOTE: Jeff says a couple times that Vince is in Philadelphia for the NLCS; that's because Jeff is a dummy.

Former MLB 1st baseman and current analyst talks playoffs.

Sure, the White Sox are playing baseball every day, but it's impossible to ignore the giant vortex sucking all the air out of the room. So SSS duty geezer Leigh Allan and his son and west coast correspondent, Will, spend plenty of time making wild guesses about what the heck is going on with the HOFBP, whilst, with most of the fan base, wishing him well — but a recovery somewhere besides the dugout. That's if a recovery is really needed — lots of doubts about what's really going on, and slams at the front office for being its usual useless self in providing information. (One apology from Leigh — it turns out the Mayo Clinic has actually opened a campus in Arizona.) As for actual baseball, recovering to win the final two games of a week when at least five should have been won didn't exactly win praise, but it's agreed sweeping Minnesota would do so ... though both scoff at YouTube announcer Yonder Alonso giving the White Sox a 50% chance to win the AAAL Central, which is five or 10 times the chance computer algorithms give. They also agree that probably no team from the division should be allowed in the playoffs at all, but that's another story. As for the nature of play, Leigh points out that while the White Sox have been bad at booming homers, they've also been really bad at lots of things connected to small, or smaller, ball — last in MLB in triples and stolen bases, next to last in getting runners home who made it to third with fewer than two outs, etc. And then there's the bizarre nature of continuing injuries that simply shouldn't happen to professional athletes ... with Will proposing a solution every 10-year old is familiar with.

The 2010's was a memorable decade for the Indians. The team reached the playoffs four times, winning a wild card spot once and three AL East titles. The big years were 2013, 2016, 2017 and 2018. 2016 was a magical year as the Indians went all the way to the World Series and reached Game 7 with the game tied in the 9th inning. Some years were tough developmental ones but it was enjoyable to watch young players improve. Star players for the Tribe in the decade included: Matt LaPorta, Asdrubal Cabrera, Jhonny Peralta, Trevor Crowe, Jason Donald, Shelley Duncan (Dave Duncan's son), Andy Marte, Tony Sipp, Chris Perez, Carlos Santana, Jack Hannahan, Michael Brantley, Lonnie Chisenhall, Jim Thome, Corey Kluber, Ubaldo Jimenez, Jason Kipnis, Johnny Damon, Ezequiel Carrera, Josh Tomlin, Zach McAllister, Nick Swisher, Michael Bourn, Jason Giambi, Mike Aviles, Yan Gomes, Kelly Shoppach, Danny Salazar, Trevor Bauer, Carlos Carrasco, Bryan Shaw, David Murphy, Jose Ramirez, Roberto Perez, John Axford, Cody Allen, Francisco Lindor, Gio Urshela, Abraham Almonte, Mike Napoli (Party at Napoli's), Rajai Davis, Tyler Naquin, Coco Crisp, Mike Clevinger, Andrew Miller, Dan Otero, Bradley Zimmer, Jay Bruce, Edwin Encarnacion, Brandon Guyer, Greg Allen, Yonder Alonso, Melky Cabrera, Josh Donaldson, Shane Bieber, Brad Hand, Adam Cimber, Oscar Mercado, Fanmil Reyes, Yasiel Puig, Bobby Bradley, Aaron Civale, Oliver Perez and many more!

Javier Baez and Willson Contreras are all-star starters. James McCann should be in the all-star game and so should Lucas Giolito and Cole Hamels. Yonder Alonso has been DFA'd. Tim Anderson is out for a while and Craig Kimbrel's nickname is Dirty Craig. Oh and we fixed the HR Derby again, just add Luis Robert to it.

In the first hour of Inside the Clubhouse Bruce & David discuss the Tim Anderson suspension and state of the game in baseball. Later in the hour they visit with White Sox player Yonder Alonso.

The White Sox randomly found themselves ready to sign Machado for a bargain and instead the Padres actually met his demands and now we're basically left with the 2018 roster plus Jon Jay and Yonder Alonso.--Despair;--Frustration;--...Prospects?

In the second hour, Bruce Levine and Matt Spiegel were joined by Bob Nightengale of USA Today to discuss the latest MLB free agency news and rumors. Later, new White Sox first baseman/designated hitter Yonder Alsonso joined the show to discuss his expectations for the upcoming season, the team's direction and the future of star free agent Manny Machado, who's his brother-in-law.

Bruce Levine and Matt Spiegel opened the show discussing the White Sox's addition of Yonder Alsonso and what it may mean in their pursuit of Manny Machado, who's Alonso's brother-in-law. They're then joined by new Cubs pitching coach Tommy Hottovy his new role and the approach he will take to the job. To close out the hour, the guys were joined by Cubs Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg to discuss the newest Cubs Hall of Famer, Lee Smith.

Jim Pete and Mike Hattery continue the 2018 Cleveland Indians positional previews by heading on over to first base. For the first time this decade, the Cleveland Indians will be without Carlos Santana in the lineup. Last season, after several years hopping around the diamond, Santana really found his groove as a gold glove worthy first baseman. Unfortunately, Santana found a new home in Philadelphia, to the tune of three years and $60 million. The Indians answered losing Santana by signing free agent Yonder Alonso, who is coming off a career year in which he came off of an American League All-Star performance, thanks to becoming a big believer in the fly ball revolution. The WFNY boys will discuss the impact of the loss of Santana, ponder Alonso as a full-time first baseman, and take a look at the potential platoon options, should Alonso dip in production. Could we see Yandy Diaz, Michael Brantley, Francisco Mejia or Jason Kipnis at first base? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
