Baseball Tonight with Buster Olney

Hembo and Buster discuss Hembo’s Phillies delirium, how Rob Thomson lined up his pitching and the biggest home-field advantage in baseball history. Next, Tigers and former Astros manager A.J. Hinch stops by to talk about the buzz in Houston, what Astro fans ask when they recognize him, if he’d rather pitch to Alex Bregman or Yordan Álvarez, and why he’s rooting for J.T. Realmuto. Then, Astros broadcaster Steve Sparks on how the Astros assembled a complete pitching staff, needing to keep the Phillies in the ballpark and how José Altuve gets back on track. Later, Karl Ravech on David Stearns stepping away as head of baseball operations with the Brewers and what games one and two of the World Series hinge on. Finally, Sarah Langs on Justin Verlander’s 12th postseason start and Jean Segura playing in his first postseason.
