  • Los Angeles Dodgers, first time since 1988.

  • Win a World Series title.

  • Ah, lot to unpack here, but first and foremost, nobody was talking about a 16 game season.

  • The best team in the regular season came from behind against the Braves.

  • Won the World Series.

  • Deserved to win the world?

  • Absolutely.

  • This is important, Carl, because you know, if there was a team that may be stuck into the playoffs with this expanded, you know, layout and had a lucky run to a World Series, we'd be saying, I'm not sure about this.

  • And the Dodgers were the best team before the season started.

  • They were the best team in the regular season.

  • I don't care if it's 60 or 1 62.

  • That's the best team all year.

  • And they showed in the playoffs.

  • They went 56 22 This year.

  • They were the best team.

  • As Tech said from the beginning to the end, they won the World Series because they got great starting pitching from Clayton Kershaw and Walker Buehler.

  • They won because they hit the ball out of the ballpark better than anyone.

  • They won because they got a record two out hits record, two out runs being scored.

  • They won because the last two games their bullpen gave them 10 and two thirds scoreless innings.

  • They were the best team, and I don't wanna hear anybody say this is invalidated in anyway because it's a 16 game season.

  • Everyone had the same shot at this, and they were clearly the best team, right.

  • And in the end, it was Julio Urias, the 24 year old left hander who picks up the final outs, a couple of strikeouts, and that led to the dog pile for the Dodgers.

  • Great great performance by their bullpen guys.

  • You would generally consider sort of the B list bullpen guys.

  • They kept the minute they got Snell out of the game.

  • And let's get to that because this is the biggest decision since LeBron made the decision.

  • Everything about Blake, Snell said that guy should be kept in the game.

  • He had struck out nine.

  • He'd given up two hits as soon as he gave up the second hit, Cash was on the top step and his arm was up.

  • But we're making a change.

  • Would you think of the move?

  • Well, we were watching the game, and I was screaming when he got taken out because Blake style was absolutely dominant.

  • And again, let's let's not put too much pressure here on our bullpen to get all these extra outs because Blake Snell was the best pitcher on that team today.

  • 97 miles an hour, fastballs, dirty sliders, locating everything.

  • So if I wanna look at my entire roster and say, Okay, who gives me the best chance of getting a couple extra outs?

  • Blake styles got to stay in that game.

  • There are certain guys that maybe, you know, running out of gas, losing a little bit of steam.

  • Take him out.

  • Blake Snell was not that guy tonight.

  • He was still strong after 73 pitches.

  • It was the first guest from all of us on this desk that he should not have been taken out there.

  • Yes, I'm worried about our game.

  • We have lost a feel for the game.

  • We have stopped watching the games in this postseason relief pitchers through MAWR innings than are starting pitchers through.

  • We have lost the value of our starting pitchers.

  • There is no way that a guy who faced 18 batters tonight struck out nine of them had one hard hit ball should be taken out.

  • Nick Anderson is a great relief pitcher.

  • He allowed one inherited run the whole season, but he allowed three in the postseason and he set a major league record for most postseason appearances in row, allowing a run.

  • Seven.

  • He's not the same guy.

  • We have stopped watching the game and Kevin Cash is going to get killed for this, and rightfully so.

  • But it's the front office of the Rays and the front office everywhere that has lost track of how the game should be played.

  • I'm sorry I give up.

  • This is too much now.

  • But the magnifying glass in the postseason suggests that it didn't work during the regular season.

  • It got them that philosophy into the world.

  • Siri's and into a six game.

  • You're a hitter.

  • More importantly, let's go into the game.

  • You're a hitter.

  • That's Seeger Turner over 66 strikeouts against Snell, he comes out of the game.

  • Be any one of those guys.

  • What are you thinking?

  • We're high fiving each other because that guy just dominated us.

  • For the first six innings for five innings of the game, and now here we are in the sixth.

  • We have no shot of hitting him right now and he gets taken out.

  • E got a huge smile on my face, but it's the third time through and the third time doesn't make any sense.

  • It's the sixth inning.

  • He's got 73 pitches.

  • If you don't let on.

  • X I young winner who's throwing 97 98 hitting his spots, dominating.

  • If you don't let him stay in, let's just put a cap on starting pitchers.

  • Let's just say every starting pitcher can Onley throw six innings because there's certain guys that you should give a leash to.

  • Blake Snell was that guy tonight.

  • You give him that leash and if I'm a hitter and you saw it, Mookie Betts first at bat, double down the line.

  • I am dancing because Blake snails out of that game and ready.

  • You're exactly right.

  • The reason they went 40 and 20 is that plan work for the regular season, But this is the world Siri's.

  • This is Game six.

  • You're playing the Dodgers.

  • They're a better team than you.

  • You have to find a way to beat them, Blake Snell was the way to beat them.

  • Tonight, you have to adjust, watch the game and say the plan that worked for 60 is not the plan for tonight.

  • This kid is too good.

  • They should not have taken him out of that game.
