The Arizona Diamondbacks finished 86-76, winning the NL West but missing the playoffs for the eighth time in nine seasons after a 9-4 loss to the Padres. Despite the heartbreak, manager Torey Lovullo has been retained on a new contract, and catcher Gabriel Moreno claimed his first batting title.

Key topics include the impact of the Los Angeles Dodgers' NLCS history on division rivalries, the revolutionary effect of robot umpires flipping 54% of challenged calls, and how Jacob Misiorowski's ERA and strikeout leadership sets a new standard for pitching excellence across MLB.

Hosts Nicole and Kevin analyze the roster battles, bullpen stability, and the strategic adjustments needed for 2027, including plate discipline under the automated ball-strike system and the competition for the fifth starter spot.
