What happened: Miguel Rojas appeared in studio to discuss the home run he hit in Game 7 of last year's World Series. He said he did not play a single inning during the NLCS and described feeling unsure of himself heading into that stretch.

What to watch: Rojas continues to break down the moment as part of the studio segment.
