Three Strikes (2:42)

• MiLB.com's Kelsie Heneghan joins the show for the opening segment, fresh off her trip to Columbus. She talks to Tyler and Sam about the atmosphere around this year's Triple-A National Championship Game rematch between Memphis and Durham -- the Redbirds won, 14-4, exacting revenge for last year's loss -- and how the managers of both clubs were able to find success despite a lot of roster turnover.
• For Strike Two, Tyler and Sam turn their attentions to the rest of the now-concluded Minor League playoffs and discuss which players stood out most while helping their Minor League clubs achieve glory.
• Finally, the two co-hosts opine on which championship-winning roster will still stand out when people look back on it 10 years from now.
