Hosts Joe Maddon and Tom Verducci discuss the gambling issues that have found their way into Major League Baseball.  Leagues try to keep gambling away from the teams and players while bringing it closer to the sport as a sponsor and advertiser.  Tom notes how fans are not only upset about their team losing, but losing money changes the civility in sports.  We move onto the Padres hiring a new manager without any previous experience.  Joe explains how we've seen a culture shift in most things that used to value experience and wisdom.  It's Awards Week and we debate who is the MVP.  Plus, Joe comments on Kyle Hendricks announcing his retirement.

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.
