Hello and welcome to Talkin Baseball. We just witnessed one of the greatest World Series games ever. We're in the building. Freddie, let's talk. Can't hear the music. Oh, we'll climb. Showing. Fours.

Head on over to T-Mobile.com slash network. I am Jake Sterilelli. That is Trevor Plouffe.

We are live. We are live. We're actually live, right? Rob's double-checking. Okay, we're going to go. Trev, we feel like we just got beat up. I can only imagine how you guys were watching it. home. Thank you guys for tuning into this because we are we are live. We are here. How are you doing

coach? I'm doing great. I don't feel like I got beat up at all. I'm ready for another nine. I can go right now for you coach. Me and Yamamoto are different breeds. Volunteered. But a crazy game to go to. This is now my second ever world series game attended. Last year I saw a Yankee Dodger game here. And this one I guess calendar is two it feels like. Yeah. Long game. Great way to end it. The stands, we'll get into it. I don't know if we're going to go over the whole game because how can we? Yeah, you can't be here all night. It's already 12, 20 Pacific time.

I don't even know where we start. Yeah, I think we're going to start off with general vibes because it was insane. That was my first ever 14th inning stretch. Oh, yeah. The crowd itself was all over the place. I mean, you had, you know, there was a smattering of Toronto fans. We were around Toronto fans. We were around a smattering of Toronto fans

that they got to blend in because they were also blue that they would rise up at times and they would start doing Let's Go Blue Jays and then the Dodger fans would get loud and then it got late and people's backs were hurting and people were getting grouchy. People were giving each other nasty looks. Every time Shohei would get walked

and the place would just erupt, it was one of the most unique environments I've ever been in. And you've had the take about getting rid of the intentional walk. I think we both have said it's one of the dumbest things that we do as a sport is take out the best player in the most pivotal moment of a game. You just take him out. It's crazy. We saw that a bunch today. I guess speaking to that, Joe Hay on base nine times tonight, which is insane. That's good.

I'm picturing the old, I think Ken Singleton used to say it. He'd be like, you know, you get on once, that's an okay day. You get on twice. That's a good day. You get on times three times. That's a great day. Four times. Where's nine? Because that's, and dude, yeah, I don't know if I can do intentional walks tonight because, again, it's something that's just reverse about our sport than every other sport. It's get the ball to LeBron. It's give the ball Tom Brady. Retired. I guess you can double team people in basketball. Sure, but they still, like, create the action and you can still end up back. Anyways, we're not doing that right now. I don't know. It was an amazing environment. And then, I mean, the pop when Freddie hit that ball was pretty nuts.

Are you going to burn something? No, I'm not. No, man. No way. We are burnt. We've been burnt. I'm going to go home and do another show. Rob feels good. I got burn music. I appreciate that. I didn't write something up because we've been at the game. And now we just invaded a suite. Yeah, we didn't sit here. We don't have press credentials.

We're just here. We wanted to go live from the stadium for you guys, so we're doing it. I think we're going to chew through the game a little bit and remind ourselves, because we just watched two baseball games, that who started this game again? Tyler Glassnell and Max Scherzer. Okay, you're 100%. I'm nailing it right now, yeah. And Scherzer kept up with them.

I don't know. Let's literally chew through it because what do you got? nothing happened coach we saw some good pitching I guess I honestly don't remember the first six innings besides we had two solo homers hey Oscar hit one to the moon bat flipped it yeah that seems like three days ago

show a hits one we're like oh my gosh here comes the Dodgers again they're gonna run away with this thing and then you had the call you said you know what okay it was when Freddie got thrown out at third base by Addison Barger, which by the way, we had a great view of that. That was an absolute laser. I think Daltz, Texas was 98.5 miles per hour out of the hand, which was awesome to see live.

You said after that, you're like, you know, all this happens, feels like the momentum is on the Dodgers side, but it's only two nothing. All it takes for the Blue Jays is a walk, that Ernie Clementon base hit, and then a three-run Homer, and the Blue Jays are ahead. And I think I said to you, yeah, great math. Yeah, if they hit a three-run homer, they will be ahead. You kind of mocked me. I did. We're having a nice time watching the World Series game. And by the way, I wasn't doing prediction guy.

Like, sometimes you go with a game and you're like, is Homer, strike it. Like, I just look, because the rule of sports, I watch too much sports, it's a problem. I'm taking some time off in the off season. That's going to be a nice time for me. But all I've done is watch sports and now we talk about it, that the energy in the stadium was 4-0-0 Dodgers. because Tay Oscar hits the home run to give them the lead, and then Shohay hits the homer, which every MFer in this building wanted to see tonight.

Whether you're a Blue Jays fan, a Dodgers fan, or anyone else, when you came to the building tonight, you're like, I want to see Shohay Homer. And he did. But it was only two nothing. And so Toronto puts together a little Toronto inning, and then Kirkie runs into one, and it's three to two.

And by the way, that Kirk home run, the Dodgers hit two of those in X-Rexam. that didn't get out because, dude, I know it's like a known thing, but how much the hitting atmosphere changed here? Teosker and Will Smith both hit fourth-inning homers that were not even to the wall in extras. So Kirk's Homer was 102.7 off the bat, 29 degrees, and then Freddie and who was the other one?

Homer? It was Will Smith and Teoskner. We're both over 100. I think it was 101. 100 with like 2930. So it was one mile an hour or less, but essentially, yes, the same swing. Yeah.

It didn't get out. So that was the top of the fourth. Tie game. And by the way, I think one of the biggest plays that happened that we probably thought was going to lead off the show before we knew we were going to play two games, the Bo Bichette pickoff. Oh my God.

Nobody in the stands really knew what was going on. They had no idea. Because, okay, so from all, perspective, you saw the pitch come in and you saw, I believe it was Varsho at the plate, kind of do the, okay, I think I just walk, take my shoulder off. But then you see him go back to the plate. Everyone starts getting loud and Boba Bichette just gets tacked. And you're like, what just happened? We had to go watch the replay. And if you have no idea, or you're also denial like we are right now.

The ump had the the ump was a huge story to me. Slow draw on the strike call, that's for sure. It was like a strike. Yeah, that's what happened. And then to see Bo just like standing in the middle of the base pass and Tyler Glass now would be like, oh shit, I got to throw the ball in first base, that was a sight.

And yeah, like that cost them a run. Could have been different. The game was tied, by the way. until the 17th or 18th inning. How long did this game go? 18? It tied the record that the Dodgers had from playing the Red So that could have been a lot different. I forgot about that play completely.

Yeah. I'm sure Toronto fans did not. Sorry, that's honestly insane. That sucks for Blue Jays fans. And if you're a Dodgers fan saying, oh, that happens? No, it doesn't happen. It doesn't happen. When does that happen?

It doesn't. So that, if you're a Blue Jays fan, I can see you, you probably forgot about it, too by now? Or maybe it didn't. You should be pissed of that. And I will say I was having some conflicted feelings because the ump was just too slow with the call. All, all, Wagner. Yeah. But there was some times where it was a little bit of drama. There was some times, like literally the whole stands would look around and be like, I think that's a strike. I think that's a strike. And then he would sit, he'd kind of go up and you'd be like, oh. And then he'd call it and you'd be

like, okay. Or if he didn't, there was a massive groan. So I don't know. I'm kind of mentally torn up about it because there was some drama involved, but it also got a base runner out in a World Series game and a fashion. You never see. You never see that. Where do we like, I want to get to the fact that the Blue Jays took all their players out, but I don't know how to segue into that. Both teams kind of do. So let's, how about this? Draft King, we have some Reeds people. We're obviously figuring this whole thing out on the fly. Draft Kings, they've been with us for a long time.

Four additional terms and responsible gaming resources, see D-DKNG. dot co slash audio limited time offer um let's see okay so the boys homered andres amenez goes with a sack fly same inning puts about four to two so now the blue jays have a two run lead uh the bottom of the fifth

comes around uh show hey doubles and uh key key case scores to make it four to three then freddy singles on a ground ball to right show hey scores four i feel like we can just like zoom through that okay because that was a long time ago and a lot happened afterwards. Yeah, I mean, it was a massive, yeah, but a lot of the stuff is, a lot of it's dead. This was A, Shohei becoming the unstoppable force in this game, and then Freddie, Shoah and Freddy, dude. Yeah, Freddy sneaks one down the line past Vladito to tie it up. And now we're into the bullpens.

Scherzer and Glass now essentially give very similar efforts, which again, Max Schurzer are coming into this postseason, we didn't think he was going to be anything. And Tyler Glassnow coming out that early, kind of opened up the window to what everyone thought or knew was the Dodgers weakness. And then as we go to find out the rest of this game. It still is a weakness, but the Blue Jays lineup was decimated by pinch runners. Like Schneider did that to himself. And some like I understand.

And again, I don't know how to segue into this. But, okay, George Springer comes out because he's hurt. Yeah, so that's the first one. What's the report on that? I don't think we've seen it. So they said oblique. That's what we thought when it's happening. And yeah, that's very tough.

Because if that's anything, you have to assume he's out. Yeah. Because that's not like a play through it. No. Injury. So that happens in the seventh inning. And I guess that's where you can question things because Thai France comes in for him. Hello, Ty France.

Yes, not a great, like, Springer the year he's had, the type of player he is, obviously above Thai France, but I think Ty France was an okay villain. That, to me, was fine. But then you get, Bichet has to come out because he can't really run. Right. So ICF comes in for him. Well, that, that's where I think two things happen here. Ty France goes into the D.A. spot and they're going to replace him later, but he gets a hit. So no, you're right. I think Ty France. in the moment is the right move there. Bichette gets the hit, and I think if they got to replay it,

maybe they don't put in IKF to run. Bichette hits what's the go-ahead run at that point. It's five to four in the seventh inning. And right after Springer comes out, so okay, you just lost the body on the bench. They put IKF in, but that has been their winning formula. And Bichette is banged up. So, like, nobody was critical in the moment. Nobody was, no.

So you can't really do that. By the way, that was the play I asked on my Twitter feed, should Freddie have cut that ball? Did it hit the sound guy or not? Nobody knows. We can't tell. I don't know. I think it did.

Teasker comes in, like, had a good chance to throw out Vladdy and just threw it offline. So my question was, could Freddie have moved his feet, relayed the ball home and still got Vladdy? And I feel like he could have. Everyone online told me no. He wouldn't have time. but like what I was looking at,

it seemed like you did. Like, Vladdy could have been out easily if the throw was online. So I'm curious about that. But yes, they take a 5-4 lead there. And then, no, I think Schneider's going to be questioning this one a lot, especially because he started walking Shohei every other time he came to bat.

You pitch to Shohei, and nobody's on base. It's one out, but the pitch... It's so middle, middle. There's the pitch to Showeigh. I don't know. you can see it or not. It's middle. First pitch goes to tie the game, which by the way, was just a beautiful swim. And he just is, he's a different type of way. Yeah, it, it was nuts. They came out and they did a mountain visit. Andy Pahas flies out. And like, I don't know,

they kind of did. There's two ways you could go, right? It's the player empowerment or it's we're not dealing with this guy. And this was their final test of like, hey, you're Sir Anthony Dominguez. You're pitching some big spots. Like, go get this guy. And you know what? Don't throw him a first pitch fastball right down the middle. And he did. And Shohei deposited it, which that end of itself is crazy. And then, dude, as we're going through these innings, it's crazy to look at that inning. It's like, Shohei, game tying Homer, Freddie Freeman, four pitch, walk. Um, bokey got out. Like, and that's how we saw this game get navigated where Toronto was just looking for anything and what their lineup turned into was, was really, was tough for a world series extra inning bonus game. game lineup? Well, let's talk about then Alejandro Kirk. You're taking, I mean, that's... Well, no, we got one before then. So Addison Barger, he reaches base in the eighth inning, and they put in Miles Straw as a pinch runner. A, he's faster, and it's now a tied game, so they're trying to get that. And he's coming for defense as well. Right. And he's a great defensive player,

but Barger, that throw he made earlier and, like, who he is in the lineup. It's aggressive managing. I think we did question that one in the moment. We're like, you're taking Barger. merger out? Like, is it, it's a tied game. Tie game. It's a tied game at that point. So I think that one you can be, can be critical of going forward. Because, yeah, Clement flies out.

And then this is Jimenez single. We're trying to remember this whole game. It's crazy, dude. I mean, Jack Dreyer was pitching in this, which he hadn't pitched in over three weeks. Everybody. And he was in a big, everyone in it. Roki comes in. Here's my biggest.

update. Okay. Rokey's intro song. Oh, you're right. Yeah, all about it. Sex. Sex. Um, there's nothing else. Bayado, Rochi. Bayado Rochi. Rokie. Um, I mean, you were dancing very aggressively. It was everything this stadium needed. It was kind of bringing together the two cultures and all the white people still kind of dancing like this, but like, AKA you or kind of where I bring the people together Yeah Dude

When's the Tommy Edmund play Vlad had a great play I know there was two amazing plays at third base Where Vlad cuts a ball off on an Infield throw Gets the runner at third TASC made a great read on that I thought

Because Jimenez goes throws the ball to Vladdy And Tasker sees that tries to go to third and Vladdy just comes up off the base, short hops it, and kind of like throws it and does the splits, if I remember correctly, kind of slips on his front foot, but just an absolute seed. And Clement is there, doesn't even have to apply a tag, goes for it. That was awesome to see.

On the Tommy Edmund one. The Tommy Edwin one is the ninth inning. Who yelled three first in the whole stadium? You? This guy. Yeah, you did. He was like, three, Tommy, three. And he freaking gets up, throws a seat.

there. I mean, he had two great throws. Because that one, they threw who they throw out of the plate? The relay throw at home. Who did they throw out? We'll get there. When are we going to get there? I don't know, man. There was so much in this. And yeah, that's, I guess what was running through my head

there, Tommy Edmund, who, you know, Tommy tanks by some, you know, the, what was he, the CS MVP last year. And again, it was kind of like, wait, how did the Cardinals get him, and then the Dodgers extended him, and he's, in a way, he's another bonus piece for the Dodgers. And, okay, Dodgers fans, I hope you don't take that the wrong way. But, like, so one of the things that has come up with the Dodgers pitching staff a lot

is like, well, hey, dude, like, they can sign Glass Now and Snow, because if they miss some time in the regular season, they still have enough bodies to get through that, that all they care about is the postseason. Tommy Edmund in a way is that on the offensive side. The contract they gave him, if he's on another baseball team

and he is your second or third highest hitter and he has a year like he had this year, your lineup could not be the lineup you want. Tommy Edmund made two amazing throws today that if you don't have Tommy Edmund there, you could have lost this game in nine. The second one, so I have it here, that it was the top 10th,

Lucas doubles down the line to Teosker. The Oscar comes up thrown, it's David Schneider who's in it. Running for Thai France. Running for Thai France. He just got in the game. Yeah. So he's trying to go first to home.

And not necessarily a speedster, but he's faster than Thai France. Yes. Teosker throws a great, plays a caram correctly, bare hands it throws a strike to Tommy. Tommy catches it, moves his feet in stride, throws to Will Smith

Nail Schneider at home. They tried to challenge and say that Will Smith blocked the plate and up saying no, he's out at home. That was also a great play. Felt like he was going to be out by a little bit, but I've also, we've questioned relays and

Tay Oscar kind of got got by Vladdy on that. Like Vladdy shouldn't have scored on that one before, but this time he hits Tommy Edmund and they had him had him dead to rights. I'm trying to think the other The other decision in sending Davis Schneider there is that they would walk Vlad. Yeah, people were saying, oh, Vladdy was on deck.

They were just going to walk. They would walk him and now ICFs in the game. So, again, that decision from before that we didn't fully question. You had the lead, you put in your better defensive guy, Bow's been hurt. But, again, there's a ripple effect there that they couldn't have anticipated for an 18- inning game. But as we sit here, you can now be like, well, I don't know. Maybe that's something you have to think about going forward. that did you think a one-run lead would necessarily hold up against this team,

especially when there's one guy's a superhuman? Yeah. I don't know. I mean, the Springer coming out of the game hurt their bench. They don't have a great offensive bench, especially with the lineup they started tonight. That's more of a defensive replacement bench. Yes. There's no bangers off the bench.

There's really not a lot of speed off the bench either. but it really truly is you have Thai France who's there in case of emergency Yeah and I guess that's the only one that you could Okay, we're questioning all of them But we're saying if we should question them If you know there's a situation

Where you could have to pinch run for Thai France Should you just have put Davis Schneider in that spot? Yes That would be another counter Because dude they were just Toronto's innings and extra innings were kind of. Like, is a Dodger fan? Obviously, you were scared the whole time

because you think that next pitch is going to be the next pitch, but, I mean, there wasn't a lot going on. And the names coming up, and, like, it's not to be rude to these guys, but Ty France wasn't on the last playoff roster, right? Like, one of them he wasn't. I don't know if he was on in the ALCS or not. Like, Tyler Heineman has hopped around the league. Right.

Thought he was going to have gone on all night. I know. He's your guy. This is what I think we need to do. Okay. I'm going to shout out every reliever of the pitch. Okay. Because, like, we got to give them some credit.

It went glass now to Bonda, to Robleski, to Trine in, to Dyer, to Sasaki, to Sheehan, to Kershaw. Oh, my God. That was electric. By the way, a huge... Okay, let's talk about that real quick. Again, vibe in the stadium. When a guy like Clayton Kirschott typically comes in the game, you expect massive cheers.

This is a living a legend. Yeah. The vibe in the stadium was like, oh my gosh. Nerves, excitement, they were scared, everything. It was a very strange vibe when he came in. But he comes in, a couple of fowls, balls, ends up throwing eight pitches, gets the out, gets Lucas out, and then the play's erupted.

That was really cool to see. Then Henriquez comes in. I want to say some on Kershaw first. Because something you mentioned about the pop, there was an initial, okay, and then you're right. It was like weird murmuring. Would I, again, this is some Jake Illetics, he came out of the bullpen too quickly. Like, I went to get my phone out to get, like, Kershaw running in, and he was already at the umpire.

He doesn't like the hoopla, bro. I know, but that was a hoopla moment. Like, that's what you're saying. But that was part of the reason the pop was in that, because, like, the crowd didn't have the chance for him to run out of... You wanted him to Rick Vaughnett, just step out and put the glasses on? Yes. Oh, my gosh. Isn't that what we all wanted?

Um, and we all wanted a Corona. We had a couple. We had a couple. We toured the stadium. Man, both teams are in Corona mode right now. All three teams. We're in Corona mode, too, because Corona, they're with us from preseason. It's spring training.

I do that almost every time. To game one of the season, the All-Star break, we had a few coronas there. And now in the Yoffs, it's Corona season. And whether your team is on top of the mountain, or licking their wounds, there's no better time to get yourself a corona. Put in the lime and spend your postseason like you're on La Playa.

21 plus relax responsibly. Corona extra beer imported by Crown import, Chicago, Illinois. I have so much stuff I want to talk about. I feel like we're all over the place. Keep going on the pictures for a little bit. We have no laptops. It's an interesting show. Thank you guys.

We're excited. to be here. It's also 1245 at night. Okay, so then after that it was Enriquez who like where has this guy been? We've seen a pitch a little bit, but like he looks like he should be a high leverage guy. He throws two in his pitch, then Klein

comes in and what does he end up throwing? How many pitches? I have it right here. I made a heroic performance. 72 earmuffs motherfucking pitches out of this guy. I need to know what his previous career high was. I don't have it in front of me. It wasn't 72. No. So gutsy, gutsy performance.

I don't care who's in the other lineup. For him to come out and do that and save Yamamoto from having to come in the freaking game. Yeah. Which is like we had heard that on the broadcast, John Smoltz somehow thought they were going to come out.

Maybe it wasn't John Smoltz. Could have been Tom Verducci. Said that there was going to be a position player that was going to pitch. And I was going to be very upset if that happened. Then Yamamoto, because he's awesome, volunteered. Trash being the trash up,

volunteered to pitch two days after you threw a start, a complete game, by the way. That was the Dodgers pitchers. The Blue Jays also emptied their pen. It went Scherzer to Flew Hardy, to Varland, to Dominguez, to Bassett. Should have went more than one inning, if we're being honest.

Yeah. To Hoffman, who threw two, to Braden Fisher, to Lauer, who just gave everything. He had four and two-thirds, no runs, only two hits, unbelievable. And then Brendan Little at the end ends up taking the L. But, I mean, they emptied, each team emptied every single player on their bench and their

bullpen except for Ben Mortbitt. I think it was the only guy that didn't. Oh, and Dean. Yeah. And Dean. Those two guys are the Dodgers, yeah. Good for them. Live note from Dahl.

Klein has never thrown more than 45 pitches at any level of professional baseball. And here he was in the World Series. So that... Dog. That's an effort. By the way, he throws 100. Yeah, I think that's the other important thing. And I don't want a Velo shame because, like, dude,

Lauer fought out there tonight. And that's obviously not his game, but he did everything. He got them through so much of this game. But it was another Dodgers head tilt moment where we've talked a lot about this bullpen. And obviously, like, Blake Trinen has had an amazing career, but he's clearly not at tip top. They thought Emmett Sheehan was going to be the guy, but he hasn't been the guy.

But this is where the Dodgers, they tapped into another level of, you know, Enriquez. Like, I did a Wakein Jake episode before the season that was the potential young guy on playoff teams that you don't know that you could find out about in the postseason. Like we had Evan Carter a few years ago, who was it, McClanahan, when he was. he was on the race. He made his debut in the postseason. So the Dodgers were tough because

we know everybody on the Dodgers. He was the only guy that I was like, wait, this cat throws 102 and we're talking about bullpen problems. Here he was on the big stage, and that 102 played. And I don't know if it's rest. I don't know if some people get focused in that moment and you can kind of find out who people are. I don't know if all the bats went dead from pressure because this game, this game's so huge. Like we haven't even talked about the true magnitude of this game. If the Blue Jays won one more game, they guarantee they're going back to Toronto. They don't have that currently.

Both teams just crush themselves. The best player in the world is supposed to pitch tomorrow for them. I don't know if I'm still even ready for there yet. But dude, like Will Klein, he's got 100 in the chamber. Enriquez, he's got 100 in the chamber. Kirshaw's got 85 that cuts. I have two things before we get to the Freddie Homer. That will probably wrap it up.

Number one, maybe I just have one thing, because I can't remember the other thing. Number one, Andy Pahas. I don't know if we're going to play anymore, but I have like screenshots of how far back Ernie Clement was playing. He's playing no doubles. And you're hitting in front of Shohei Otani, and they're walking him every single time because there's an open base. They probably would have done it anyway. But this is before they started walking him. the bunt is there and you're hitting 089 with a 128 on base percentage

like you gotta give it a chance i don't know if you've ever bunted i think i've seen him but actually i've seen him bunn i've seen him do it during the regular season why aren't we trying that right now it was driving me insane during the game and you know whatever call me an old or whatever yeah it's still a play dude when you're struggling like that just here that's all andy pause if you're watching this show tonight maybe you're watching right now Clement was playing deep. Deep.

He's playing no doubles. Right, Clement was playing deep. That was crazy to me. I don't remember the last other part that I want to talk about. That's good. That's good. Noted.

No, I don't. Tyler Glass now had not allowed a homer on his curveball in the last 589 curves until Alejandro Kirk got him. Is that what you wanted? Is that the same game? There's a TV over here that just showed the Vladdy play. He almost had the splits on his throw. Those two throws at third were really good baseball play.

that really good baseball players made. And that's kind of the, yeah, when I was, when I was watching this game, and I think it goes back to Tommy Edmund and Enrique, and I'll lose some people on this one. It used to be the beauty of college football bowl games for me, that college football bowl games used to be cool because you'd show up and here'd be a team,

here'd be a team. You know, the fifth team from the ACC would play the six team from the Big Ten, and you'd be like, oh, yeah, You know, these teams don't know each other that well. Here's this kick returner that has a school record and kick returns. And it's like, look at his party. And there was so many different people with party tricks on the field today.

Dude, the way Mookie Betts played defense tonight, where does that get mentioned among everything? Because he made a lot of impact plays. He did. And like, that's no, that didn't even make the notes. That's just me watching. You reminded me of what I wanted to say. Perfect.

We got the Shoahawk Brigade at the end of the game. Does that just continue? Kind of. In any situation that isn't bases loaded or I think bases loaded might be the only situation that it doesn't have maybe first and second as well. We saw them get pitched to. Yes. No, they didn't pitch to them. They freaking threw every ball in dirt.

Little spiked for her. So I mean, if you're John Schneider, I think. you just do it. I hate to see it, but if you're managing and that's an option, don't let this guy win the game for you. And you can tell, Mookie Betts hates it. He's visibly frustrated. Like, you know, you want to be up in those situations, but not four times in a row. Yeah. Like at some point, you feel disrespectful. And I think you can see it in his, in his eyes. I don't know. How about Miggie Rojas pinch hit bun? Oh, my gosh. That got you going a little bit, huh? I mean, Lauer did a, he threw a great pitch up and in and he still got it down.

Perfectly. Yeah. Perfectly. My God. Let's get to the Freddie home. I love Rokey. Let's get to the Freddie Homer then. That was, how about that?

How about it? How about that? Three, two pitch. Brennan Little comes in. What a fucking legend, man. Legend. The place was going nuts. You, this wasn't a shot of fire.

I was also too slow on the draw. The chance of Freddie in the hallways. was pretty sick. A, it's a great name to chant. Freddy, Freddy. The chant of that through Dodger Stadium, well, people are, yo, people turned into savages. Like, people had to get out of here. People were losing their mind.

It's a fool night. Like, when we were coming up here to record, it was kind of every man for themselves for a little bit. But there was a nice Freddie chant on. Producer Robb, at the end of the game, went full sling blade on us. It was dipping his fries in mustard. That was gnarly. Hey, rules were out. You know what we haven't talked about yet? I had one of the biggest chicken sandwiches I've ever seen in the 11th inning. Where'd I even get that?

And everybody looked to you and like, I thought, yeah. There was people that looked like they wanted to slit his throat and take his sandwich because they were hungry and he found the sandwich. It was literally no, hey, shout out to all the people that were working the food and drink station. Because, again, we turned into like a different. society. Like it was a weird mix of survival meets, you know, for most people watching their favorite team, not in a do-or-die game, but a game that significantly dictates the future of this series. I mean, if Toronto won tonight, we turn on the microphones and we're like, dude, they're going back to Toronto. I would probably say something like, if they win one of the next two, that's a bonus, you would kind back at that because you're like, I don't know, if they're two baseball games go win them, win the series in five. Instead, let's be honest, man, after that

game two Yamamoto shutout, after 18 innings tonight, the conversation, the honest conversation in Blue Jay fans, I'm sorry, it's like, is Toronto going to get this back to Toronto? And I don't know. I don't believe that. I don't know. They were so close to winning this game. There were so many times. They could have won this game. I think they got injured and injured. pinch ran to death, essentially. Like, that's not going to happen tomorrow. We're not going to play 18 innings tomorrow. At least I don't think we are.

We might. Well. So I don't believe that at all. I think Toronto matches up very well with this team. But the Dodgers, they didn't do anything special tonight. No. Shohei did. And guess what they started to do?

Walk them. So he got on nine times. He got on nine times. That's insane. I think Toronto's obviously upset. They lost this game. But I think they're still in this series very much. though. And I think we should call this a wrap because people are trying to clean up this

sweep and we're stopping. Yeah, no, I think I'm going to do one last sweep through here to see if there's any notes we miss. We'll tee up tomorrow a little bit and it's all brought to you by Best Western, the good people at Best Western. They've also been with us all season. We went to opening at Rigley. We stayed at the Best Western. The first pitch series, we got Isted. Best Western was involved in that. And that's because Best Westerns everywhere. everywhere. I've been looking at a vacation after the season and everywhere I look, there's Best Western there. Really? Hey guys, you know, Jake Story Ellie, Chamboy Media, huh?

And they're like, please just get the room traditionally through the website, because they have that. And they have over 4,000 hotels. So wherever you're going, there's a Best Western, whether you're the kind of person that likes to plan it out, or you're just on the go. There's going to be a Best Western there. life's a trip make the most of it at best western dot com oh i see best western's great if you have a late arrival well maybe i have that right now me and rob i don't know if we're sleeping a night tough tomorrow is beber and showhead is gonna need innings from both of them and hey i guess

the bonus thing to track on show hey besides everything he does they had checked him for cramps midgame and that was nobody knew what what was going on. We were freaked out. Yeah, because he was stretching. Dave Roberts comes out. He's stretching. I'm like, okay, like, yeah, crams.

So sometimes you feel something. Pull, you try to, you try to stretch it out. It's the first thing you try to do. If it's a calf pull, you try to stretch it out. A hamstring, you know. It's not going to work. Yeah. And then all of a sudden, he just busts off into a sprint to center field.

I'll tell you what. What? Add this to show his accomplishment list. Whenever a team trainer and coach come out to check on a player to see, if they're good and they do the jog. That was the fastest one I've ever seen. Oh my gosh. He's kind of showboating.

Burst. That was kind of sick. I'm not saying it a bad way at all. Jake, we're going to say to our grandkids, yeah, we went to a World Series game that was 18 innings long. Joe Houtani got on base nine times and they're going to say, shut up, Grandpa.

You are senile. Grandpa. We really did, though, kids. That game seems like it's stunk. And by the way, hey, I think baseball got a lot of fans tonight. Baseball lost a couple. The guy sitting next to me, my God, that guy was losing it. He wanted Andres Jimenez to get sent down the AAA. The guy won a platinum goes to be $150,000. He was, he was this older man that he was, he was fading hard. He was fading hard,

and I get it. Early on, he was walking his Led Zeppelin a lot and by the end of the game. Jimenez fouled the ball off his foot and he goes, what minor league BS is that? Send them down. And you were, you chime back. You're like, he's making $150 million. He's a platinum glover. He's not getting sent down. And the guy was just like, ah, maybe. Yeah, there was some rowdiness in the crowd.

Shohei was the first player to reach base seven, eight, or nine times in a World Series game. God, only the second player to be intentionally walked with the bases loaded in a World Series. pool hole. Wait, the intention you're watching when the bases loaded? Base is empty. Oh, is it? Empty. But still, like, they don't do that to guys.

They're going to start doing that, too. I know. Yeah. And, yeah, I know we said it at the top and we said it at the end, but Freddie Freeman, man. He hit the walk-off Grand Slam against my Yankees last year. He hits another World Series walk-off Homer. Yep. And yeah, it's, I don't know, if you want to have your Dodgers' dark lost thoughts, again,

you can go through the list. Like, Mookie was in Boston. They could have kept him. They didn't. Freddie wanted to stay in Atlanta. They didn't. Teosker, I had, I don't have him normally on my list of those names. I normally jump to Snell.

The Oscar's first free agency was, what, one for 23? Yeah, they gave it to him here, yeah. And I know when he re-signed, he wanted to, come back here and everyone wants to be in LA. It's a beautiful place. The weather was nice today. It's awesome. It's great to see you.

We got a nice Italian lunch today. How about that? That was today. That I don't know. This team, they went out and got guys in every different fashion. They look great. And you are right. I'm glad you called me out a little bit because if Toronto wins tomorrow,

we say we're in tune. It's two two and it's a three game set. for an all-time world series. I don't know. The Springer injury is in my head a lot. 100%. Show Hey being on the bump tomorrow is in my head a lot. The ripple effect of how this game has to feel.

And just how I believe in Shohei, like I don't know. I don't know. I'm in my head about that. Whose bullpen's in worst shape? Right. That's the other game I want to play. Chris Bassett still can throw tomorrow. He can give you multiple.

Roki, I think, might. I mean, he's one at the most. There's no multiple innings going from Roki tomorrow. It wouldn't shock me if they tried to keep him out of the game altogether. Jeff Hoffman threw two tonight. That's going to be tough for him to come back. Again, one at the most. So Dodgers, pitchers that threw less than 28 pitches tonight,

Banda, Trinan, Dreyer, Hirscham. And you don't want any of those guys in the game. It's one way to look at it. get it? I mean, Toronto. No shots fired. I'm just saying where we're at. Toronto guys, 27 or less, Flew Hardy, Varland, Dominguez, Bassett, Fisher. So they're in a little bit of a better spot. They're in a slightly better spot, but the Dodgers lineup is still

without Springer. I don't know. Look, Clement didn't do anything tonight really. Yeah. He's a guy. He'd been a cheat code throughout these playoffs and he wasn't there. Vladdy's final stat line isn't that crazy from this. But again, like, you didn't again, you didn't have to pitch to him or Lucas. It just felt like throughout all the extra innings. Totally different tomorrow. Yeah, it was, for Toronto, it was you have to dodge two guys, basically. And for the Dodgers, it was, there's like four guys you have to be hyper careful with. One is, one is superhuman.

And the guy, the Mookie Betts thing is insane. And you were on it, man, you're like, dude, this is, this has to be fucking weird for Mookie. Very weird for Mookie. Normally, he's the intentionally walk guy. Yes. And now like every at bat, bizarre. Guys, we are going to wrap it. Thank you so much. Thank you to people with Dodgers and MLBPR that helped us do us. Yeah. Bobby golf. MVP.

Jake sucks. I think I hate it. Jake sucks. Yeah, man. And thank you guys so much. Make sure you share with a friend. Make all this worth it. You guys already do. There's a pretty incredible game, pretty incredible. We love you guys. Go baseball. Touchy. Touchy. Baseball and stuff. Threple next to us. Oh, we should talk about them. We had it all wrong. Oh.

Oh.
