Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the end of the World Series and the 2026 season: important games 4 and 5, the Brewers’ victory and overall October run, and what, if anything, other teams will take away from Milwaukee’s success. They also discuss the ideal last out of the World Series, how this order is historically motivated, what to expect from EW’s offseason, and more.
Audio intro: The Gagnés, “Effective Wild Theme”
I hear the outro: Ted O., “Effective Wild Theme”.
