Episode 48: Cleveland Collapses, the Ascension of College Diamond Sports, and the Yankees & Dodgers Leading the MLB Charge

On this episode, Shay and Aidan break down the New York Knicks reaching the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999, while examining the shocking shortcomings of the Cleveland Cavaliers despite being one of the league’s analytical darlings throughout the season. The two agree that major changes could be on the horizon in Cleveland after another disappointing finish. They then shift to the rapid rise of college diamond sports, focusing on how Arizona State Sun Devils baseball and softball are positioned as well as they have been in years, with momentum building across both programs and the sport as a whole. To close the show, Shay and Aidan dive into Major League Baseball, discussing why a New York Yankees vs. Los Angeles Dodgers World Series rematch feels increasingly possible as both franchises continue to separate themselves from the rest of the league.
