Episode Date: October 31, 2020

Today, D.C. is joined by Jon Miller -- who is a Dodger fan as well as a Mariner fan -- to discuss the 2020 World Series which featured the Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays. Even though the season and the playoffs were... different, the World Series was still the World Series, and the teams with the top two records in Major League Baseball made it to the Fall Classic. D.C. & Jon talk about each game, and spend a great deal of time on an incident in Game Six: Kevin Cash's decision to pull [Shoreline's very own] Blake Snell in the 6th inning.

Yes, finally ready to record this World Series, not preview. World Series. We're going to talk about the World Series today is what we're going to do. The 2020 World Series.

Here with me to do that is Locked-on Mariner's contributor and Dodger fan, John Miller. John, how are you doing? I am doing very well. Thank you for having me, D.C. Excited to have you since I know you are a Dodgers fan talking about, you know, I almost had spoiler alert,

but I think everybody knows by now that the Dodgers won the damn thing. So, yeah, I'm glad that you're here to talk some Dodger baseball instead. Well, I almost said instead of mirror. See, ladies and gentlemen, I'm on some medication, and I think one of the side effects is rank stupidity. So kind of bear with me, because I may be saying some interesting things.

And I may find it humorous and not edit them out of the program. In any case, let's start with game one is kind of a logical place to start. Wouldn't you say, John? I think that's where we should start, yes. Yeah, let's start in game one, which took place on Tuesday, October 20th, 2020 Anno Domini at 7.10 p.m. local time, and all of these games are taking place in Globular Life Field in Arlington, Texas, making this the first World Series game played at a neutral site since October 23rd, 2003, when the Yankees played the Marlins at Pro Player Stadium in Miami.

Starting for the Dodgers in game one. I thought you might like that joke. Starting for the Dodgers in game one. was Clayton Kershaw, who kind of has this monkey on his back as a tremendous regular season pitcher, not necessarily an effective postseason pitcher, which I've always found unfair. I don't know if we're going to get into that later in the program or not. He was opposed by Tyler Glasnow, who was never played in the World Series before. And guess which one came out head and shoulders above the rest? Ladies and gentlemen, it was not the pitcher standing six foot eight. It was Kershaw.

He wound up going six innings, which is kind of a short out. for an ace. However, two hits, one run. It was earned. A walk, eight strikeouts, and that run was given up on a home run. Glasnow, on the other hand, four and a third innings pitched. Three hits, six runs. All earned. He walked six batters. He also struck at eight and gave up a home run. First on the board were the L.A. Dodgers in the bottom of the fourth inning, and that came on a Cody Bellinger, two-run, home run, continuing a theme from the previous playoff series in which everybody seemed to go deep.

On the top of the fifth inning, Kevin Kiermeyer answered with a solo home run, and then the Dodgers, John, kind of opened it up in the fifth inning, didn't they? They certainly did. They did. Max Muncie, a fielder's choice to score professional bowler, mookie bets. Will Smith, without DJ Jazzy Jeff,

RBI single to score Kyle's brother, Corey. Then you got Chris Taylor. former Mariner with an RBI single of his own to score that funky Muncie, and Kike Hernandez with an RBI single to score Smith. So this is the kind of baseball that I personally like to see, John. Base hits and base hits and maybe a double occasionally, walks, bets stole a base in this inning. This is what I like to call, keep the wheels turning.

It's not just sitting back and waiting for a home run. I think this is the way to go, don't you, John? I think this is the way every team should play every game of the season. I totally agree. I'm going to go over the inning. As it happened, Mookie Betts walked and stole second. Corey Seeger walked. Justin Turner struck out. Okay, fine. Muncie's fielders choice to score, run. Will Smith's single to score run. Pitching change. Cody Bellinger pops out to third base. Chris Taylor singles, Kike Hernandez singles. There was not one extra base hit this inning. They did it

with walks, a stolen base, and a bunch of singles in succession. That's the kind of baseball that I like to see. The Dodgers would extend their lead. in the sixth inning with a Mookie Betts home run and a Max Muncie RBI double. So they had some power that inning so they can do it both ways, can't they, John? They certainly can. Absolutely. The raise would answer back in the top of the seventh inning with two more runs, both of them RBI singles, one from Mike Brousseau and the other from slick fielding,

Kevin Kiermeyer. Those will be the last run scored in this game as the Dodgers take it eight to three. I bet you had fun during that fifth inning, didn't you, John? Oh, certainly had fun with that. Absolutely, and I would expect nothing less. Tampa Bay would come back in game two, however. In fact, they would score in the top of the very first inning, a Brandon Lowe home run.

Tony Gonsolin got the start for Los Angeles. Well, starting for Tampa Bay, Shoreline's very own Blake Snell. Yes, from my hometown, I guess former hometown now, Shoreline, Washington. Shoreline has two high schools, Blake Snell went to the other one. I can't say the name, but he didn't go to Shorecrest.

I'm not going to say the name of the high school that he went to. In any case, Snell, you know, hit or miss in this ending, four and two-thirds innings, two hits, two runs, both earned. Four walks, nine strikeouts. He can strike him out, guys. He did allow one home run.

Goncelain, this was more or less a bullpen game, I guess. Gonsolin won and a third innings, one hit, one run. It was earned. It was that home run that we spoke of. and then Dylan Floro an inning in a third. Victor Gonzalez, an inning, Dustin May an inning in a third. Joe Kelly an inning, Alex Wood, two innings, and Jake McGee one inning.

It's interesting to see bullpen games in the playoffs. I'm not used to that, John. Oh, not at all. No, and I don't know what else to say about that, so we'll just move on to the scoring recap. The Brandon Lowe homer on the first inning that I mentioned. The Rays would extend the lead with a two-run double from Joey Wendell in the fourth inning, and the Rays would get two more on another Brandon. low home run. Dodgers would not

score until the bottom of the fifth, a Chris Taylor two-run home run. Joey Wendell again in the top of the sixth inning hits a sacrifice fly to score J-Mond Choi. In the sixth inning, Will Smith hits a home run. It was kind of bombs away in this

game as Corey Seeger hit one himself in the bottom of the eighth inning, a solo job for a six to four final score in Tampa Bay's favor. They even up the series at a game apiece. So now the roles are reversed. They're staying in Arlington, but now the Tampa Bay Rays will be the home team, quote-unquote, home team for the next three games.

And game three was taken by Los Angeles, a six to two final, Walker Bueller over former Astro Charlie Morton. The Dodgers would score in the very first inning when Justin Turner hit a solo home run. I said it on the show before, and I'm going to say it again. Justin Turner looks like he should be living in a tree and making cookies. or he looks like he should be trying to fend off children trying to get at his scrumptious lucky charms. Yeah, in any case, top of the third inning, Max Muncie, two-run single to score Turner and Corey Seeger, and the Dodgers would extend that lead in the fourth inning. The first run coming on a kind of an RBI bunt ground out, which is kind of halfway between a squeeze play and a sacrifice bunt.

There were runners at the corners, and Austin Barnes bunted the ball between first base and the pitcher. I'm not exactly sure how to describe it other than just telling you exactly what happened. But that's what happened to run scores. And Jock Peterson, who was on at first base, winds up its second. Beliger scored on the play. That play was immediately followed by an RBI single from Mookie Betts. So the Dodgers now have a 5-0 lead, and it's looking pretty good for L.A. at this point, isn't it, John?

It certainly is. Absolutely. Bottom of the fifth inning, Dodgers would get a mere one run back on an RBI double from Willie Adamas, but that's pretty much negated in the very next half frame by an Austin Barnes home run. Ray's would score one more in the ninth inning on a Randy Orozor Raina home run who had just been having a fabulous playoffs. But that is the last run that they would score and the Dodgers take this one, six to two, to take a two to one series lead.

That certainly was not Walker Bueller's day off. Thank you very much, John. appreciate that. Let's go through Walker Bueller's pitching stats for that game, which I should have done already. Thank you for reminding me to do that and making it funny at the same time, which I really appreciate. Walker Bueller did pitch six innings. He gave up three hits and one run. It was earned one walk and listen to this gang, 10 strikeouts in those six innings. No day off indeed. Charlie Morton, on the other hand, did have something of an off day. Four and a third inning seven hits, one walk, six strikeouts, a home run, and five runs.

All of them earned. Not so good for the former Astro. And as I said, the rays would tie it up in game four with a eight to seven victory, which was kind of a back and forth affair for a while. Dodgers did get the scoring underway in the first inning. And surprise, surprise, it was a home run by Justin Turner himself. Dodgers would take a 2-0 lead in the third inning on a home run from Corey Seeger. So it's bombs away here too.

And the home run barrage would continue in the bottom of the fourth with Randy Orozurana leading off that particular inning with a home run. Max Muncie, RBI single, boring. No, I'm kidding. Max Muncie RBI single in the top of the fifth inning to plate Seeger. And the Dodgers now have a 3 to 1 lead at this particular point in time. The Rays would make it 3 to 2. on a Hunter Renfrohom home run, and I'm glad that I got through that name in one take.

I was worried about it. Top of the six inning, Kiki Hernandez, RBI double to score Will Smith in a 4-2 game at this time, and then the Rays would plate three on a three-run, home run from Brandon Lowe. Jock Peterson would hit a two-run single in the seventh inning to plate Seeger and Turner once again,

and the game at this point was six to five Dodgers. Kevin Kiermeyer hits. a solo home run to tie the game at six all, and the Dodgers would take the lead back with a Corey Seeger RBI single, and then the Rays would take the game in walk-off fashion with a two-run single from Brett Phillips. Julio Ureus started the game for the Dodgers, not his best work, four hits, two runs, both of them earned a walk, nine strikeouts and two home runs, and Ryan Yarborough for the race, also not his best work either.

This was effectively a bullpen contest, although not a planned one, John. Certainly not. No. Ryan Yarabarro, three in a third innings, five hits, two runs both earned, a walk, a strikeout. Those two runs were both scored on solo home runs. And Eureas's two runs given up were also scored on solo home runs. There were six home runs hit in this game, again, kind of extending a theme that we saw in the previous playoff rounds, right, John? Definitely, yes.

Particularly the, I believe was the Astros and Yankee series. There were 20 or something home runs hit that series. That's a lot. It was insane. It was absolutely insane. At this point, we're going to take a little bit of a break. I'm going to tell you about Bilt Bar. They are indeed the best tasting protein bars in the history of best tasting protein bars.

They are delicious. They come in 18 flavors. The mint brownie, the peanut butter brownie, German chocolate cake. Those are the three flavors that I ordered and got the other day. They're fantastic. Lemon almond cheesecake is another good one. There's not a bad one in the bunch. I even liked the carrot cake,

and I didn't think I was going to like it, but I did. And don't forget about Built Boost drink powder, which if you mix that with hot water, it's very soothing if you've got a sore throat.

I'm on a commercial break. I can collect it, and my tongue will be untied on the other side of this commercial word, I sincerely hope. Welcome back to Locked-on Mariners. Once again, your host, D.C. Lundberg. Yes, thank you very much. Joey Martin. I'm glad your tongue is working. He's pre-recorded. I am not pre-recorded. I am your imbecellic host, D.C. Lunberg. Got that right. Yes. Oh, yes. Thank you very much. That was John Miller, former Locked-on Mariner's contributor and the Dodgers fan. No, we'll keep him around.

He's a good dude. Oh, I appreciate that. We're talking about the 2020 World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays. We have gone through the first four games, so logic would dictate there. We're going to talk about game five.

So let's talk about game six instead first. No, no, no. Game five will be the one that we're discussing next. I don't know why I said that. And this series is tied at two games apiece. Remember, ladies and gentlemen, Dodgers in the first inning of game five made something of a statement as if they were going to take this game. Mookie Betts leads off with a double.

He is immediately driven in by Corey Siegel, Seeger, with a double of his own. I guess my tongue did not get untied during the commercial break. In any case, Cody Bellinger later on in the inning, hits an RBI double of his own to score Corey Seeger. Dodgers have a quick two-nothing lead, and Clayton Kershaw shuts the raise down. down in the bottom of the first one, two, three. Leading off the top of the second, Jock Peterson hits a home run for a three to nothing Dodgers lead. Bottom of the third inning,

Rays would get two of those runs back on a Yandi Diaz RBI triple and a Randy Orozerena RBI double. Dodgers would extend that three to two lead to four to two with a Max Muncie home run in the fifth inning. And that would be the end of the scoring as this game was a final. of four to two. Clayton Kershaw, who's had the monkey on his back, as I said, as an ineffective postseason pitcher,

who puts up tremendous numbers in the regular season, pitched okay this day, five and two-thirds innings, five hits, two runs, both earned, two walks and six strikeouts. He was relieved by Dustin May, who in an inning and two-thirds, gave up one hit and struck out to. Victor Gonzalez, two-thirds of an inning and a walk,

and then Blake Trinan, one inning, a hit and two strikeouts he would get the save. Glassnow had another poor start here. Five innings, six hits, four runs, all of them earned, three walks, seven strikeouts, so that's more than Kirschaw. Two home runs given up. Veteran Aaron Loop goes two-thirds of an inning, followed by Diego Castillo, Ryan Sheriff, very cool name, and Ryan Thompson, none of whom gave up any runs. All four runs were given up by Glasnow in this four to two Dodgers victory. John, at this point, the Dodgers are one game away from something that they had not accomplished since 1988,

and you had to be pretty excited going into game six. I was excited enough that when I was texting you the night before, I called it. You did call it indeed, and this was to be another bullpen game for Los Angeles, starting with Tony Gonsolin, pardon me, opposed once again by Shoreline's very own, Blake Sest. now and there's we're going to talk about something that happened later on in the ball game that you know people are kind of calling out not calling out but armchair quarterbacking a Kevin Cash managerial decision they will talk about in a little bit but first the scoring summary first on the board where the Tampa Bay raise in the top of the first inning they're back

to being the designated away team remember gang all these games are being played in arlington a neutral site in any case it's a randy a rosalena surprise surprise, home run, solo home run from Rose Arena, 1-0-0-0. The game would remain scoreless through five innings. Tony Gonsolin and the relievers doing, you know, pretty well. And then Blake Snell had been cruising. Five and a third innings for him. In the sixth inning, he would get A.J. Pollock to pop out to second base. Then he would allow a single to Austin Barnes, and then he would get replaced by Nick Anderson. Blake Snell, five in the third innings, two hits, including the last batter that he faced.

One run, it was the last hitter that he faced. Austin Barnes, he would later come around to score, and he struck out nine. He only threw 73 pitches and looked to be in control, and he was pulled after one poor pitch to Austin Barnes. I was kind of shaking my head at this time, as were a lot of other baseball fans, and guess what happened? Nick Anderson comes in and allows a double to Mooky Betts, sending Barnes to third base. Barnes would score on a wild pitch during the next at-bat, and the game would be tied, and Blake Snell's chances for a victory in this game go up and smoke as it's now tied at one-to-one. Corey Seeger would then

hit into a fielder's choice, and mooky bets would score. So the Dodgers take the lead. You know, I'm going to stop the scoring summary right here, and we'll get back to it a little bit, because this is something I want to talk about a little bit, John, pulling pitchers prematurely. I was texting with my mother at this point, and she was telling me that Blake's still had been doing very, very well, and she texted me before the sixth inning took place, and I told her, Yeah, they might leave him in one more inning. He hasn't thrown that many pitches. But Kevin Cash is very reliant on his bullpen,

almost too reliant. Prophetic words. Yes, John? Very prophetic words. I don't understand unless there is something that us fans don't know about. If he was experiencing some soreness, if he had a blister, if him or the catcher, someone knew something that Snell gave them the same.

signs that I need to go sit. And that would have come out in the days following that, and it hasn't. It was just Kevin Cash wanting to go to his bullpen because he's over-reliant on it. At least that's what I'm taking away from it.

I don't get it. I don't get this brand of baseball. And Blake Snell is a tremendously talented pitcher, but he's never going to be a bona fide ace when he's pitching for the Tampa Bay Rays and manager Kevin Cash, because he never it goes more than six innings. Yeah, he's your so-called ace. He's a former

Cy Young Award winner. So why don't you treat him like that? The ace is the one that's supposed to be bearing the brunt of the work here. And the rays do it differently. They have the bullpen bear the brunt of the work, which I don't get. If your pitcher is doing that well, leave him in there because you're going to bring in another pitcher and who knows what you're going to get out of him. Even if he warms up great, oftentimes. times or sometimes at least, he'll leave that good stuff in the bullpen and go out to the game mound and be a disaster. And then, of course, there are other times where he'll warm up really poorly and come out and spin a gem. So you really never know what you're going to get. And again, Snell was in

control. He looked really good aside from the last batter. I just don't get this. The one other thing I will say is that the only reason we are discussing, seeing this now is because of the outcome of the series. And this decision looks to have been the clincher for the Dodgers. I guess Kevin Cash didn't want Dave Roberts to be the only current manager known for piss poor World Series managing. This decision angers me. I'm sorry.

I have a lot of friends who were Dodgers fans. If I had a stake in this, I was kind of hoping that the Dodgers' would come out on top just for my friend's sake, for your sake, for Jason Hernandez's sake, for my Uncle John's sake. I know a lot of Dodgers fans, and I'm glad they won, but Blake Snells from my hometown. He's a shoreliner, and I feel awful for him that he pitched this was in the midst of pitching a gem. I'm not going to call a five-inning ball game a gem, but it was shaping up to B-1,

and he gets pulled early, and the bullpen comes in and f*** it up. I'm sorry, I got to bleep that. But I'm pissed off. I am upset for Blake Snell. Well, and to your point, Snell had only gone five in a third innings. He'd given up two hits, one run. He's an ace.

He had also struck out nine. Yes, he had. And only thrown 73 pitches. I don't see any reason why he couldn't have at least gone seven. 48 of them were strikes. You're absolutely right, John. He should have gone at least seven. Okay, so he gave up a hit to the second batter he faced in the sixth inning.

So what? I mean, I don't care what the next guy does. One hit, you're going to pull him after he fails one hitter. I'm sorry, that's a wrong decision. I know Nick Anderson had been reliable this year and last. I don't care. Have your starting pitcher go as long as possible. I don't care who's coming out of the bullpen.

Nick Anderson had been reliable. I'll get to his numbers in a minute. But it is a starting pitcher's job, particularly your ace, to keep his team in the ballgame for as long as possible, no matter what kind of bullpen you have. But again, Anderson had been very reliable. He had an 055 ERA this season and 19 ball games. Last year, he had a 3-3-2 ERA in 68 ball games, 65 innings. He is no slouch.

He happened to have a bad night, but the fact remains that he didn't get the job done. And Blake Snell was looking like that he probably could have. have. Definitely. I don't understand the logic behind yanking him like that. No, I don't either. And we've, we've ripped this decision apart six ways from Sunday. So we'll move on. There's only one more scoring play to talk about. And it was the bottom of the eighth inning. It was a Mookie Betts home run, which gave the Dodgers a three to one lead, which pretty much sealed it. They win this game three to one. Take the series four games to two. they are the 2020 World Series champions.

Their first World Series since 1988, and one more point to make about Blake Snell being pulled early. Not only did the bullpen fail, which we've talked about at length, but the Tampa Bay offense did not do its job either. There's plenty of blame to go around. It's not just the bullpen and Kevin Cash. If they would have given Snell two or three more runs to work with, you know, it could be a very, very different outcome if the Rays get one more run here,

one more run there to give their pitching staff a little bit of a cushion. You're totally right. Had the Rays come back and tied the game, maybe even won the game, and we go to seven, and the Dodgers still win the series, we might be like, well, should he have done that? Yes, but the Rays came back and won the game. No, they lost the World Series. They lost the World Series. You're right. I mean, the fact that they lost the World Series, in part because of that decision just amplifies that bad decision that much further. Which, fair or unfair, that is just the way it is.

But in any case, congratulations. I don't want to take anything away from this Dodgers victory. They deserve it. They earned it four games to two. Again, their first World Series championships is 1988. The year of Kirk Gibson's famous home run. Well, Kurt Gibson had two famous World Series home runs, didn't he, John? Yes, he did.

One in 1988 off Dennis Eckersley, one in 1984 off of Goose Gossage. We're talking about the 1988 one. Obviously, one of the most famous home runs in baseball history. Any general thoughts on this World Series, John? Or do you just want to gloat a little bit? The floor is yours. I am so glad the Dodgers, the third time in four years. They didn't have to face the trash can banging asterisks.

Yes. They almost did. They didn't lose to the lucky nationals. They finally got the monkey off their backs, 32 years. They were impressive, they were dominant. Kershaw has that monkey off of his back. He had two great performances. And just to talk about Kershaw, that stigma that he had,

in the world, he's had some bad postseason outings. He has also had some good postseason. season outings. The Dodgers did not lose their World Series because of Clayton Kirshaw. No, they certainly did not. No. And the final part of it is, I have always called this season a joke, a

hoax, a farce, what have you. The two teams with the best records in Major League Baseball wound up making it to the World Series, even with a bloated playoff structure and abbreviated regular season. The two best teams made the World Series.

So the World Series itself was not a joke, even though the regular season and everything leading up to it might have been, this was absolutely legitimate. It totally was. They played six games, played their hearts out. It wasn't a four-game sweep. It could have gone seven. It could have. But it certainly was, and I was watching when Mookie Betts hit that home run. And if I'd been capable, I probably would have jumped out of my chair because that was an insurance run. That pretty much locked it up. It was an eighth inning.

It was two to one at that point. Mookie Betts adds one more, and sometimes that one more run is just what you need. The race did not wind up scoring the next half inning, which was the ninth. So it was a three to one final. But if he doesn't hit that home run, maybe the raise have a little bit more momentum than they would have going into that ninth inning. Certainly. I was fully expecting and holding my breath during that end.

expecting, okay, here's going to be a walk, a base hit, a bloop. Oh, there's you go, there's a run. Now suddenly we're tied. And thankfully, it did not happen. It did not happen at all. As a matter of fact, it was a 1-2-3 ninth inning. Manuel Margo flyout. And then Mike Broussoe fans and Willie Adomas fans for Yoreas.

Julio Eureas pitched the ninth inning and he gets to save. Is this the first time that a clinching World Series game was saved by a pitcher with a single-digit uniform number. I think it is. I don't expect you to know the answer to that question because it just popped into my brain head. But that would be interesting to look up, or it might not be, I don't know.

In any case, John, we're a little bit over time, which is fine. It's a World Series. The World Series is supposed to be grand. This episode was anything but, but if you got anything to plug or you want to tell the nice folks where they can find you on Twitter, now is the time. I can be found on the Twitter sphere at Seattle Pilot 69.

And you can be heard on this show from time to time talking Mariners baseball, little Dodgers baseball, and during the off season, probably just maybe some baseball memories or such, because there's not going to be news every single day. I thank you for having me on. Absolutely. I appreciate having you on, especially since you did have a stake in this World Series, and I really didn't.

That's going to do it for today's show, ladies and gentlemen. Tomorrow we actually are going to talk some legitimate Mariners news. There have been a lot of transactions or a few transactions that I will discuss on tomorrow's episode. And here with me to do that will be Ned Shimmelfini,

Gordon Shumway, and a Salisbury steak.
