Here’s another radio spot that made it to the interwebs. This is mostly Awards Watch talk with Dallas-based Newy Scruggs of NBC Sports Radio, but at the end we get into my recent piece on Mike Scioscia and managerial Hall of Fame candidacies. Enjoy!

As for the top seven pitchers I mention in that clip, here’s my list, with the caveat that this was a hastily assembled list assembled while researching other topics in the small window between our production meeting and air time. Given more time, I might return a slightly different result:
1. Max Scherzer
2. Corey Kluber
3. Clayton Kershaw
4. Chris Sale
5. Justin Verlander
6. Madison Bumgarner
7. Zack Greinke

Postseason Coverage: Saturday, Oct. 6, 2012
I have five pieces up on SI.com today, so rather than send out five tweets about them, I thought I’d put the five links here for one-stop shopping. They are:
- A recap/reaction to Friday evening’s Braves-Cardinals Wild Card game with thoughts on the controversial infield fly call and how that call exposed the flaw in the one-game-playoff format.
- A preview of the A’s-Tigers series which kicks off tonight at 6pm EST.
- A preview of Game 1 of that A’s-Tigers series, which, again starts tonight at 6pm EST.
- A preview of Game 1 of the Reds-Giants series, which follows tonight at 9:30pm EST.
- A preview of the Yankees-Orioles series which kicks off on Sunday at 6pm EST.
- Also, here are the SI.com “experts'” picks for the four division series.
Enjoy!
