This week Andy and Jason attempt to avoid a topical discussion only to get embroiled in a topical discussion about Mat Latos' wife. Andy talks entirely too long about people's perceptions of Jeff Locke, whilst peppering in commentary about the horrendous start to the NLDS. Jason tries to start on a positive note, reflecting on Cleveland's accomplishments this year but quickly succumbs to ragging on Asdrubal Cabrera. Things wrap up with another "Next Level" conspiracy from Jason regarding Jason Kipnis.
