The Milwaukee Brewers won the most games this season with their impressive and dynamic play on the field. However, when the Los Angeles Dodgers came to American Family Field two days ago, they arrived with two elite starting pitchers, hoping to shut down the Brew Crew and return to LA in the driver’s seat.
That is exactly what happened.
On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the incredible back-to-back pitching performances from Blake Snell in Game 1 and the complete-game shutout by Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game 2 that has the Dodgers heading home with a 2-0 NLCS series lead. The guys discuss whether the Brewers can overcome the Dodgers’ stellar rotation and force the series to return to Milwaukee before it’s too late.
Also on this episode, Jake and Jordan dive into the Seattle Mariners taking a 2-0 lead—also on the road—in the ALCS against the Toronto Blue Jays, with the help of some incredibly timely hitting from Jorge Polanco. They preview the upcoming Game 3 and 4 matchups to see if Shane Bieber and Max Scherzer can somehow stop the rolling Mariners from reaching their first World Series in franchise history. Later, the guys recap all the managerial and personnel shifts from around the league.
