Around the Diamond is excited to begin its playoff coverage as MLB kicks off the October season with a wild card tiebreaker on the last day of September. Host Dave Holcomb takes you through the matchup between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Texas Rangers and discusses how Cleveland finished with the best wild car record. In the second segment, Holcomb talks about the remaining playoff teams including the NL Wild Card game on Tuesday between the Reds and Pirates and the red hot St. Louis Cardinals, who have home field advantage in the National League. To conclude the show, the show highlights the conclusion of other teams’ seasons from Sunday, including a manager already fired, two managers agreeing to new contracts and a no-hitter from Sunday’s action.
