The Book of Joe Podcast begins with hosts Tom Verducci and Joe Maddon discussing the Max Scherzer controversy with his agent, Scott Boras.  Scott doesn't think MLB is as concerned with rosin as one umpire is being.  Is there a subjective standard for standards that pitchers are being penalized for?  Joe takes us back to his dealings with umpires and the enforcement of pitching substances.  Scott says how he thinks these situations could be handled differently and better for baseball. We explore the flaws in the system for appealing a decision like this, plus the lack of distinction between a legal or illegal substance.  This episode is a must listen!

Borrowing the podcast title from their forthcoming book, three-time Manager of the Year Joe Maddon and three-time Sportswriter of the Year Tom Verducci provide exclusive insight, commentary and discussion on the MLB postseason, from the stars to the strategy.

As manager of the 2016 Cubs team that broke a 108-year championship drought, Maddon knows what it takes to navigate October pressure. Part Phil Jackson, part Yogi Berra, Maddon brings unique and entertaining takes on not just on dugout strategy but also life lessons and leadership - not to mention classic cars and rock and roll.

A five-time Emmy winner with Fox and MLB Network, Verducci has behind-the-scenes access to the players and managers throughout the postseason.

“The Book of Joe” is your home to learn - and laugh - about the real stories behind how postseason games are won and lost.
