Eno and DVR discuss the first two games of the Dodgers-Blue Jays series, including the nine-run outburst from the Jays' bats in the sixth inning of Game 1, Yoshinobu Yamamoto's latest postseason heroics in Game 2, and a few questions from each game including the Dodgers' bullpen management when Blake Snell ran into trouble in the sixth inning of Game 1, and another possible instance of 'He's Dealing" paired with a low pitch count keeping Kevin Gausman on the mound into the seventh inning of Game 2. They also preview Game 3 of the series, as Max Scherzer and Tyler Glasnow draw starting nods.
