The Book of Joe: Home Field Advantage, Playoff Experience, and The Natural

Hosts Joe Maddon and Tom Verducci discuss the final two weeks of the regular season and teams finding their playoff seedings.   How much does home-field advantage and playoff experience matter in the postseason?  Tom points out the young pitchers that are peppered throughout the rosters.  Joe reveals his philosophy going into the playoffs and the messages he would deliver to players.  We note the passing of former player/manager Jim Marshall and his impact on the game of baseball.   Who are your MVP candidates as we come down the stretch? We also react to the breaking news of the passing of Robert Redford. The Book of Joe Podcast is a production of iHeart Radio.   #fsrSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
