Present continuous

Obviously, we're gonna get to Justin Turner.

The positive covert testing, the repercussions from him coming back on the field.

The superlative

But outside of that, what was the biggest storyline from this win?

Well, first of all, before I say that, I just want to extend my happiness to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Tinseltown is now titled Town, the basketball team of the MBA champions, the baseball team of World Series champions, major major props and and my man, Earvin Magic Johnson, who I called last night.

I'm so happy for him and the rest of the Dodgers organization, and I'm happy for Kershaw or two.

Having said all of that, let me say this.

I'm not going to say it's the worst decision in major in World Series history for Kevin Cash to take out Blake Snell.

I remember when Dusty Baker took out or that kid Ortiz.

If I remember correctly Max in Game six of the World, Siri's with Barry Bonds and the Giants up five.

Nothing about toe win the chip and and and Dusty Baker made that mistake and I love me some Dusty Baker.

But this was such a horrendous decision that even on a day where we clearly need to celebrate the Dodgers, we can't ignore what we witnessed.

Blake Snell looked like two Cy Young Award winner from 2018.

He had thrown 73 pick pitches, 48 with strikes, 18 batters he faced.

He struck out nine of them 100 miles an hour, 95 miles on me.

And you take him out because of analytics.

I told you about them damn analytics and let me tell you something, way we'll go.

I'm not gonna take up too much time because I know we got all day to talk about this because I'm telling you, it was just some inexcusable stuff.

I don't give a damn what the analytics say.

You do not pull that dude, and you could see how it just deflated.

Deflated the Tampa Bay Rays because Mookie Betts smile today.

He was happy that Blake Snell left, and as a result, what's the first thing he does?

And then you could just see the life just get zapped right out of the Tampa Bay Rays.

There is no excuse why I don't give a damn what analytic state.

This is why you gotta have basketball people, baseball, people, football people.

Can't just read a chart, you know, and I'm giving it to you.

Because in the end, when it comes down to Is that is what happened.

Because you consider there and make a legitimate argument that the smell was still pitching their the one that's came.

And then listen, you might have been thinking about Oh, you know what?

He's facing the top of the lineup or I might need it for.

Let me just start with the analytics thing.

I can't believe you made a point that ridiculous on national TV.

You What they do is they help you make better decisions.

That doesn't mean that they always turn out to be the right one.

Sometimes you can play the analytics and lose a matter of fact.

If analytics, let's say, make you 70% of the time, correct instead of just 50 50 that means I'm not time.

I just want you to save him, because that's me and you, Jessica.

The second thing is forget about analytics.

When he made the move, I thought, No, no, this dude is dealing.

The game Before the very previous game, Kershaw was yanked five and two thirds and I was like, Oh, you sure you want to take Kershaw out now?

So Dave Roberts's world, Siri's champion manager, and we love him.

If it didn't work, why did he take Kershaw out?

Those are the tough, just lied to the American public.

But I'll get you like those are the tough decisions now.

He hasn't gone six innings and forever right coming off the arthroscopic surgery.

Why would you take Snell out in a one run game when the lineup seen him twice And a guy just, you know, is in scoring position off him?

You're thinking to yourself, I think I like my chances better with fresh arms out of the bullpen, especially if you have a live arm that the lineup hasn't seen yet.

We agree about that, but I can't say it's the most indefensible decision I've ever seen.

That and the fact that the Dodgers win for the first time in 32 years.

Well, I think I think of all the great world Siri's moments that we've had.

Think of the Madison Bumgarner type moments that, honestly, I don't think happen.

If analytics play the number one rule for why you do things.
