Show Notes
After opening up the NLCS in blowout fashion, the Los Angeles Dodgers were put on the ropes early in Game 2 following a Mark Vientos grand slam that helped give the New York Mets a lead they would never relinquish. Now, with the series evened up at a game apiece, the focus shifts to Citi Field in Queens.
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman recap all the action from Game 2 including why the Dodgers’ lack of pitching depth finally came back to bite them, the lack of production from the top of the lineup being a big problem and preview the Game 3 pitching matchup.
Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys take a look at Game 1 of the ALCS that saw Carlos Rodón have arguably his best start as a member of the New York Yankees, leading the Bronx Bombers to a 5-2 win over the Cleveland Guardians. They also discuss how impressive it is to see Giancarlo Stanton being locked in at the plate, why Jose Ramirez could be a problem in Game 2 and Taylor Swift being in attendance with Travis Kelce at Yankee Stadium.
