On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys break down the wild Division and Championship Series rounds as the road to the World Series heats up. Where do the White Sox go from here? Are the Guardians better than anyone gave them credit for? And can the Milwaukee Brewers really save baseball by winning it all? Mikey throws some cold water on that narrative, explaining why the MLB could be heading toward a labor showdown regardless of who hoists the trophy.

The boys also dive into a new rule being tested in the Arizona Fall League that could give hitters an even greater advantage. Is this another step toward improving the game, or is baseball tinkering with something that doesn't need fixing?

Then, for the season finale of the Forgotten Series, the boys turn back the clock to the 1990s and spotlight one of the coolest players of the decade: David Justice. From his raw talent and postseason heroics to his celebrity status away from the diamond, Justice seemingly had it all. A World Series champion, a household name, and a star who was always in the spotlight, it was good to be David Justice. But what happened after the fame, fortune, and glory faded? The boys revisit his remarkable career, his larger-than-life persona, and where life took him after baseball.

Afterwards, the boys round out the show with Collection Corner.

On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys recap all the action from the Wild Card and Division Series rounds. Did the right teams advance? Do the clubs still standing have enough to make a run all the way to the World Series? With the postseason field shrinking, the boys break down what they’ve seen so far and what could be coming next.

For the teams heading home, the questions are only beginning. Is it time for the Phillies to tear things down? Is Craig Counsell having second thoughts about leaving Milwaukee? Are the Astros officially entering the next chapter of their franchise? And after everything they showed this season, are the Red Sox actually legit moving forward? The boys look at what could be a fascinating offseason for some of baseball’s biggest clubs.

Then, with October baseball in full swing, the boys get an early jump on the 2027 Fantasy Baseball season. They each reveal their top-10 player rankings heading into next year, and there are more than a few surprises as they debate who belongs at the top of fantasy draft boards.

Afterwards, the boys round out the show with Collection Corner.

On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys tip their caps to one hell of a career as Justin Verlander officially rides off into the sunset. They look back at what JV meant to the Tigers, Astros and Major League Baseball as a whole, and where he belongs among the great pitchers of his generation. With Verlander calling it a career, could another future first-ballot Hall of Famer in Max Scherzer be joining him? The boys say not so fast—and explain why.

Black Monday also arrives across baseball, with Dan Wilson out in Seattle while the Red Sox extend Chad Tracy and the Mets decide to roll the dice with Andy Green. Were Boston and New York smart to stay the course with their respective managers, or will they eventually regret not making a change? The boys dive into each situation.

Then it’s officially prediction time as the boys kick off their annual Postseason Prediction Show. From potential upsets to teams that may be much better—or worse—than their seedings suggest, the boys make their picks and uncover some truths about the clubs entering the October dance.

They round out the show with Collection Corner, where Nicholas Green from Market Movers joins the boys to discuss card market trends heading into the postseason and which players could see their hobby stock rise or fall once October baseball gets underway.
