The Book of Joe Podcast begins with the Padres 5-3 win over the Dodgers. Hosts Tom Verducci and World Series Champion Joe Maddon were both impressed with the managing job of Bob Melvin. The ability of Yu Darvish to change velocity is amazing and Joe thinks the gameplan included not throwing the same pitch twice during an at-bat.  Over to the Astros win, Joe explores Seattle bringing starter Robbie Ray to the mound as a reliever. Tom asks Joe about walking a batter with the bases loaded and the strategy that goes into facing a player like Aaron Judge.  With the passing of former MLB pitcher Dick Ellsworth, Tom offers up an amazing memory of just how many innings he pitched. How does the Cleveland fishing scandal relate to athletes always looking for an edge? Plus, we wrap up with Tom revisiting his Jefferson Starship collection and asking Joe for some classic rock recommendations.

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.
