Tom returns to join John and Darius in a discussion of Joe Maddon's latest round of antics as the Cubs teeter on the brink of elimination. They also marvel at the Yankees' resurgence and the Astros' sudden inability to hit, before getting stuck into the rumours that MLB is considering expansion, which draws a broadly positive reaction from John and quite the opposite from Tom, and leads into the latest round of the DH debate. They also touch on the bizarre map that suggests north-west Canada hates the Padres, and the imminent hiring of Alex Cora as Red Sox manager.
