Baseball Isn’t Boring

It seemed as though Mickey Gasper's epic recent run with the Red Sox was going to be brought to a halt, falling victim to a numbers game on the major league roster even though he had proven to be one of the big league's best hitters in recent weeks. But now, because of Willson Contreras' injury, he's back. The first baseman/DH sat down with Bradfo to explain his crazy 24 hours and the lesson he learned.

Bradfo catches up with Yankees Ace Cam Schlittler to discuss the realities of pitching in high pressure games in front of hostile crowds on the road, if it impacts him, which crowds he sees as the most hostile, and more!

With all this talk about the advantage teams might have in getting home-field advantage in the best-of-three wild-card rounds, Bradfo went to two young pitchers who have just recently learned all about needing to perform on the biggest stages in front of the most hostile crowds - Payton Tolle and Cam Schlittler. The Red Sox rookie and Yankees ace offer entertainment, insight and education when it comes to what it's like to live that life of having rabid fans root against you when it counts the most.

Bradfo caught up with Red Sox reliever Garrett Whitlock to talk about when and how he knew his elbow injury wouldn't be an enormous concern. It's great insight into how a pitcher learns about himself and life in a pennant race over time.

Bradfo caught up with old friend Adam Ottavino before the former MLB pitcher sprang into action at Yankee Stadium as a credentialed photographer. Ottavino answers the question about how it is like to pitch in high-intensity environments in the postseason (and why he was playing the role of a photographer).
