Dodgers walk-off into the NLCS, Cubs force Game 5 with Brewers & Tigers-Mariners set for Friday showdown
Description
The Los Angeles Dodgers have booked their 8th trip to the National League Championship Series since 2013 by walking off in the bottom of the 11th inning against the Philadelphia Phillies. While Dodgers fans celebrated advancing, it was Orion Kerkering and the rest of Philly left wondering what if.
On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman break down the unfortunate error by Kerkering that led to the Dodgers eliminating the Phillies — and why he doesn’t deserve all of the blame. The guys then go on to question whether the Phillies have a larger issue brewing with their roster after failing to win the World Series in recent seasons and what’s next for their impending free agents.
Also on this episode, Jake and Jordan discuss the Chicago Cubs taking down the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 4, forcing a winner-take-all Game 5 back in Milwaukee this Saturday. With the Brewers failing to capitalize on a 2-0 series lead, the question now is: who will the Brew Crew turn to in the must-win game to help validate their season? Later, the guys preview the ALDS Game 5 between the Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners, featuring what is sure to be one of the most enticing pitching matchups of the postseason — George Kirby vs. Tarik Skubal.
