Ohtani’s most exceptional match propels Dodgers back to the World Series + Blue Jays-Mariners ALCS reaches a decisive Game 7

When Shohei Ohtani achieved the 50-50 milestone last season in Miami, many regarded it as one of the most remarkable individual performances in baseball history. Unbeknownst to them, Ohtani would later pull off an even greater accomplishment in a series-clinching match that propelled his Los Angeles Dodgers back to the World Series, just one year after claiming the Commissioner’s Trophy.

In this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman analyze what may be the most extraordinary game ever played in baseball, where Ohtani pitched six scoreless innings, struck out ten, allowed no earned runs, and hit three home runs leading to the Dodgers securing the National League pennant. The hosts also discuss the Milwaukee Brewers’ unfortunate performance against a powerhouse like the Dodgers.

Additionally, in this episode, Jake and Jordan look ahead to the upcoming Game 7 that will determine the ALCS champion between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Seattle Mariners. Will the Jays leverage the impressive form of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to achieve their first World Series victory since 1993, or can the Mariners secure their inaugural American League title and finally arrive at the Fall Classic? The show concludes with a conversation about College World Series champion manager Tony Vitello potentially joining the San Francisco Giants next season.
