The Book of Joe Podcast begins with the Phillies and Astros in the World Series. Hosts Tom Verducci and World Series Champion Joe Maddon discuss the mentality of both teams and how different they are.  Joe likes the Philly 'vibe' right now and Tom thinks they're a club that's playing with very little pressure after making the postseason.  Bryce Harper's home run was a historic moment for him and Tom walks us through how it happened. Joe explains why manager needs to 'play' through the game before it even happens to know what he's doing in every situation. Looking back at the Yankees season, it's easy to say what needs to be different but you can't just change a team's identity in one series. Find out what Joe says isn't just 'nearly impossible' but just impossible for a team to do. Now we're ready for the games, Joe recalls managing Kyle Schwarber and reveals the impact the outfielder can have on a team and even a teammate like Bryce Harper. Bruce Bochy is back in the game and Tom wonders what it would take for Joe to return to the dugout. We wrap up with Bruce Springsteen and Tom's favorite selection from The Boss.

EPISODE 61: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Am I really seeing this WaPo headline? "ANTISEMITES RALLY AROUND KANYE WEST" (3:20) As Adidas (finally) and his agents, documentarians, and others drop him (3:35) LAPD ties the 405 Freeway sign to antisemitic leaflets in Westwood (4:36) And something worse looms in Colorado: a Republican member of the State Board of Education has gotten the word "Nazis" replaced by "National Socialist German Workers Party" and demanded America acknowledge "this party was and is a socialist party." (7:05) The next stage has begun: assume a MAGA will come up to you shortly and say "Hitler was a Democrat. The holocaust is your fault. Antisemitism is your fault. Kanye West is your fault." Let's walk through his history: appointed as Chancellor by Conservatives, arrested Communists, sent Union Leaders to concentration camps, dissolved the Social Democratic Party, had Goebbels say "National Socialism opposes liberalism...liberalism broke under the blows." (14:00) On a much much much lighter note: you'll never believe who's advertising for a Concept-to-Consumer Manager? Yep: Adidas and Kanye.

B-Block (17:09) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Jerry in Houston (18:08) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: DeSantis freezes when Crist asks him ONE debate question; Senate/Governor polling improves for Dems; Proud Boys embarrass Pen State; Coerce or Caress Walt Nauta and Kash Patel as Document investigators press hard for testimony (22:02) IN SPORTS: Yankees embarrassed themselves but Yankee fans did themselves proud saying helloooooo to Ted Cruz; my fellow giant-head Bruce Bochy gets a new gig; and you'll never believe who predicted, NINE YEARS AGO, that the next Phillies World Series appearance would be in 2022! (25:16) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Soccer's World Cup vies with Right Wing Troll Jacob Wohl and Justice Sam Alito - who gets pounded from beyond the grave by Ted Kennedy - for the honors.

C-Block (30:04) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I paid $2000 plus a game ticket for it, but I promised never to run exclusive video of a near-brawl between Yankees' ace Roger Clemens and a Yankees fan in the middle of the 1999 World Series. What happens when you have facts, but not truth? You side with truth - and your bosses start looking for a reason to fire you. It's quite a saga.

Our second deep dive we turn to the Senior Circuit and one its more recent entrants the San Diego Padres.  There was a AAA team called the Padres in the 1940s.  The current Padres came as a result of the 1969 expansion and at the advent of two divisions for each league. The Padres got off to a poor start and well, it's been a rough 52 years only appearing in two WS never winning one.  

There have been some amazing HOF players who played for the Padres and we talk about many of them but did not mention Ozzie Smith who was traded to St. Louis after the 1981 season for Garry Templeton.  Perhaps the Padres never winning a World Series is the curse of Ozzie?

The “Cinephile Cuties” are ready to investigate a murder. That’s because they’re chatting about Dario Argento’s Deep Red. And they are joined by a (kind of) Giallo expert, writer, and host of Full Court Chat with Dave Schilling - Dave Schilling! Patrick also tries to impress everybody with his knowledge of Italian prog-rockers, Goblin. And Casey may have prematurely asserted that former San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy is dead. In addition to that, they put Deep Red through their proprietary “Fartsy Test.” Patrick recommends a drink pairing. And they give each other notes to improve the show. Listen in to see if it’s working!

Three time World Series champion manager, Bruce Bochy joins the guys. “Boch” tells us the most surprising thing about one of the most successful runs in San Francisco Giants history. You will hear which of his three titles means the most to him, what it was like to bring his own son in from the bullpen as a Giants’ reliever, and whether he thinks he is Hall of Fame worthy! The only man to be part of every San Diego Padres postseason appearance in club history is our guest on this episode of Major League Beginnings.

Bruce Bochy won three World Series titles between 2010 and 2014 as manager for the San Francisco Giants. And Dave “Doc” Roberts is the manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers. He has led the team to win the National League West every year since he took over the position in 2015. Today, they will discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic and the heated debate over racial justice have affected major league sports, specifically baseball. 

Well it looks like the shortened 2020 baseball season will be more of a sprint than the usual 162 game marathon. It took a lot of contentious negotiations between players and owners to even get to this point and Dave Roberts saw parallels between the polarized debates in Washington. Both Roberts and Bochy are world-class managers but suddenly they need to manage a lot more than baseball, including a new discussion around racial justice that will require a lot of listening and understanding.

This week we start with fan mail and some start bench cuts. Highlights including Bruce Bochy and CC Sabathia announcing their retirements, NBA All Star weekend, and Colin Kaepernick. Then we discuss the San Antonio Commanders and their week 2 loss to the Orlando Apollos with Alex in attendance. Manny Machado signs for 10 years and $300 million with the San Diego Padres. What does that mean for the Padres and Manny? Then we welcome to the show Dwight Smith and Ellen Nyström (45:56). Dwight and Ellen discuss their backgrounds in sports and basketball, challenges they have faced, and the difference between basketball in the United States and overseas.

Ray was driving home when Bruce Bochy announced that 2019 will be his final year. So, he rushed to the ballpark and was able to put together an interview packed episode and talk to guys including Bochy, Larry Baer, Brandon Belt, Derek Holland and Pablo Sandoval.
