The Book of Joe Podcast begins with a historic no-hitter in Game 4 of the World Series. Hosts Tom Verducci and World Series Champion Joe Maddon discuss the turnaround from one game to the next.  It's all about the pitching and Cristian Javier's fastball was untouchable. Tom explains the physics of a fastball 'defying' gravity at the plate.  As a former catcher, Joe looks at Christian Vazquez behind the Astros plate and how he handled the no-hitter.  Looking ahead to Game 5, what will Justin Verlander do differently before taking the mound again? Houston may have learned something about how to pitch to Bryce Harper.  The Phillies send Noah Syndergaard to the hill but Tom doesn't expect a long outing.  We hear a touching story about Phils manager Rob Thomson before wrapping up with a Bruce Springsteen appearance at the Bank and a music recommendation from The Boss.
