Listen "World Series Pain: Is It Better to Never Get There?!"

Episode Synopsis

BT & Sal dissect the emotional fallout of the World Series, focusing intensely on the Toronto Blue Jays' devastating loss after getting so close. BT emphatically states he'd "rather not even get there" than suffer a crushing defeat—like the one the Blue Jays did, or the infamous Falcons Super Bowl collapse—arguing that reaching the precipice only to have the championship snatched away leads to a deep, unrecoverable pain for fans of long-suffering franchises.

Sal counters, highlighting the "month of memories" and the joy of the run, but concedes the loss was "soul-crushing." The hosts analyze the "unfathomably unacceptable" fundamental baseball mistake—a poor secondary lead costing the final out—that sealed Toronto's fate. They also touch upon the emotional impact of manager Don Mattingly's presumed retirement after the loss.
