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

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

Game six?

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.

I'll leave a lot of that to Max.

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.

But I got to say this to you.

I don't know of one worse.

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.

I remember something like that.

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.

He was doing it.

He was dealing.

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.

We'll go in.

Listen way.

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.

This dude is.

Growth is dealing.

You got two eyes.

You got any kind of vision.

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

Deflated the Tampa Bay Rays because Mookie Betts smile today.

Roberts.

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

He smacks a double, okay?

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

It was an inexcusable decision.

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

I don't give a damn what numbers say.

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

So mistakes like this can't be made.

You got two eyes for a reason.

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

Hold on.

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.

And then the two in game seven.

You gotta get thru Game six.

Cash blew it, and that's a damn shame.

Let me just start with the analytics thing.

That's an absurd point.

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

I can't believe trying.

That's unbelievable.

S.

So let me get this straight.

Analytics are supposed to be infallible.

No, no decision is infallible, right?

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.

You're gonna be right now.

I don't object to your point.

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

I'll get you later on that.

Let's go.

Let's go.

That's the first thing.

The second thing is forget about analytics.

Okay, Justify.

I thought it was the wrong decision.

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

Leave him in.

But I can absolutely justify the call.

First of all, let's talk about Kershaw.

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?

And it worked.

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.

Why would you take smell out?

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.

I wouldn't have made the decision.

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

It was clearly the story of the game.

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

I'll save my Kershaw stuff for later.

Go ahead, Jessica.

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.

I mean, that's the world.

Siri's.

I mean, it's been Look at Randy Arose Arena.

Is he gonna be a Hall of Famer?

Probably not, but he's hit 10 home runs.

He's been ridiculous because that's what the world Siri's does to people.

They go to a next level, and that was Blake Snell.

And I get the numbers, everything that you've seen about him, and I understand honestly, that is a huge part of this game.

But I think back, okay, I'm gonna take you back in 2017.

Steven and you were asking when was the last time a bad call like this happened?

It was actually Dodgers against the Astros with Doc Roberts pulled Rich Hill for kids, um, Aida, and ended up being an horrific decision.

Why?

Because Rich Hill was dealing.

They putting kids on Maya and the Astros just start crushing him.

They end up losing the world.

Siri's everyone wants Dave Roberts to be fired.

I completely agree.

I mean, Blakes now was on another level.

This is the best offense in all of baseball.

They were missing the ball by about this much.

Mookie Betts, Corey Seager.

Cody Bellinger.

I don't care who you run up there.

They were not gonna hit the fastball.

They weren't gonna touch the slider in that curveball was stupid.

Good.

Justin Turner had to strike out.

That bounced twice in the dirt.

They don't even chase and they did against this guy.

So clearly, that's it.

But we've seen teams have to evolve and learn.

I feel like Dave Roberts has had to learn that lesson because he's lost two world Siris in the past because these young guys too early based on just the numbers.

Yeah, that's a strong man.

The just the number of things.

A strong He's my point.

First of all, don't bring up.

Excuse me.

And I know we're gonna get into Kershaw later in terms of his performance.

But I'm saying, don't bring up Kershaw's that example because we all know it wasn't just about analytics.

It was about the fact that Kershaw had a history that you have documented is that is analytics.

Listen.

Well, No, no, no.

I'm saying it's fact.

So, Max, the fact that no, no, no, it's not.

No, not always.

Not always match Not in other words, you're playing the numbers.

But in the in the case of Kershaw, Kershaw, you're not just talking about numbers.

You're talking about reality.

You've seen him fold in situations.
