The Cardinals are officially eliminated, so Nate and Ben start making peace with a season that — against every expectation — still counts as a success. They dig into the bullpen that sank it, the Michael McGreevy puzzle (no strikeouts, sub-4 ERA), Jordan Walker's career-best breakout and the defensive metrics that somehow hate him, and the home/road splits that make Busch look haunted.
Plus an incredible Costco piano story, Nolan Arenado catching fire in the desert, Quinn Mathews pitching his way into 2027, Justin Verlander's last dance, and a new game — What Year Is It?
