Welcome back TO THE BODEGA - baseball podcast.  The MLB championship series is nearly set, with the Boston Red Sox and Houston Astros advnacing to the ALCS; while the Atlanta Braves wait patiently for the outcome of the NLDS game 5 between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants.  Hear our takes on why we think the ALCS will be a straight bloodbath of offense.  In other news, baseball games continue to get longer as MLB keeps making changes to speed up the pace of play.  But is this really a problem with the sport? Or is the average attention span of fans dwindling down to next to nothing?  One thing is for sure - Alex Rodriguez and John Smoltz are two of the worst broadcasters in the sport!
