Maximizing October with Mark Buehrle

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker begin their discussions on the New York Yankees tying the Wild Card series against the Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers punching their ticket to the NLDS over the Cincinnati Reds and Shohei Ohtani making the start for Game 1 against the Philadelphia Phillies before bringing on Seattle Mariners' bench coach Manny Acta (12:02). He chats about his team's intrasquad games including Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki, the positive and negative effects of a long layoff before the first round of post-season games, what people don't know about Cal Raleigh, and Josh Naylor's contributions to the Mariners this year. Then, Jeff and Kevin catch up with World Series champion and former Blue Jays pitcher Mark Buehrle (27:30), who talks about life after baseball, the 2015 Jays' squad, the difficulties of pitching a postseason game, and the game's transition to using the pitch clock. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
