0:00Are all batteries the same? That's like asking if all soccer players are the same. Take Messi, the most decorated player ever. Is there any other player who has achieved that? No, just him. Now take Duracell. Is there any other battery with Power Boost ingredients inside? No, just Duracell. Remember, goats only trust goats because they're built different. And Messi only trusts Duracell.

2:36Rich Eisen:That'll be later on in our number three. You have no idea. He's been sent. No, I know he sent out videos and all his key card, all that sort of stuff. No, he talks about his hostile and work environment. He claimed he was going to come here at 9 and send him for the whole show. I knew that wasn't going to happen. We don't want to get him upset. Thank you so much. 844-204-RICH, number to dial. If you're on hold, please stay on hold. We're going to promise you we take all your phone calls. We don't have any guests today. We just want to talk sports with you and amongst all of us. And one of the reasons why we keep our Monday slate clean in many ways of guests is, well, nobody wants to talk to us.

3:14Rich Eisen:But other than that, it's because, you know. it's because there's so much to talk about. And I kind of like the real estate to explore all of it. And, and certainly the world series suffices as one of those. Christopher, when we previously on the rich eyes and show the what's more likely Friday subject matter. One of the things you threw at me prior to the weekend was what's more likely there'll be a game seven in the world series or a one in seven team in the NFL will beat a Los Angeles team. Yes, sir. I chose game seven of the World Series. Almost turned out to be both with the plucky Tennessee Titans.

3:56Rich Eisen:Yeah, so close. Scoring on special teams and on defense on the Chargers early on in that game. The Chargers pulled it out. But the reason why I thought there would be a game seven is because who the Dodgers were throwing in game six. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who had thrown complete games in his previous two playoff outings. And sure enough, Yamamoto showed up in Toronto in game six, dominant. Six innings pitched, five hits, one earned run, one walk, six strikeouts, 96 pitches, 63 of them for strikes. and sure enough the offense and the runs sufficient enough for Yamamoto to hand the lead off to his bullpen were provided by a guy who was so down and out he was just so honest about his struggles and it was Mookie Betts sure enough this is how good he is and also how good Dave Roberts is, is the manager of the Dodgers, is he's so good, he's hitting 130, and he gets dropped from two to three in the order.

5:14Rich Eisen:And then for game six, he gets dropped to fourth in the order. How about Dave Roberts saying, this guy can't hit a lick right now, and he's down on himself, but I'm going to hit him clean up. I'm going to have him protect Freddie Freeman in the lineup. And sure enough, who steps to the plate in the third inning with runners in scoring position with a base hit. Mookie Betts, his first RBI, his first RBIs at all since game two of the NLCS. Span of eight games.

5:48Rich Eisen:And this game six was kind of feeling unlike the previous wild games. It's, you know, Yamamoto's getting the people up and getting down in order. and this game's 3-1 after the Blue Jays got one run in response to the three spot for the Dodgers, and it's 3-1 going into the later stages of the game. Roki Sasaki gave us a little bit of a pulse check in the eighth inning, two on, one out, got out of that. this game's not going to be like any of those other crazy games is it until the ninth inning oh my goodness gracious so Sasaki hits Alejandro Kirk to start the ninth right on his hand and sure enough John Schneider does what he has to do because Kirk's not going to be able to score on anything in the gap right so he puts in Miles Straw who runs like Xavier Worthy at the combine And sure enough, Addison Barger hits one to the gap.

7:00And I've never seen this before. The ball hits like a highlight chulo right in the crease where the padding of the wall meets the warning track. and Justin Dean, who just got substituted into center field for Tommy Edmond by Dave Roberts, raises his arms up saying, this is a dead ball. It's like Little League. And Straw, who's inserted to score on exactly the ball Barger hits, can't score because it's a ground rule double. Now, there's a lot of arguments about whether this should have been too bad, Dodgers. You could still pluck the ball out of the wall, whether the rulebook says it's a ground rule double only if it's not playable, like, say, in the vines of Wrigley Field.

8:03Right, the Ivy, yeah.

8:07lots of pissed off blue jay fans it's that the rule was not applied appropriately that there have been previous inside the park home runs by somebody as as slow as prince fielder if you look it up he once had an inside the park home run on exactly a play like this and he makes alejandro Kirk looked like Ricky Henderson. Oh, come on. But sure enough, it's a ground rule double. Straw doesn't score. Barger's on second. And that's when Dave Roberts says, I'm going to go to my game three starter now. Even though we're wondering if he's going to start game seven, if there is one. Screw it. There is no tomorrow for us.

8:55I'm going to bring in Tyler Glass now. And I'm going to have him face Ernie Clement, who is hitting like Mickey Mantle on top of Stan Musial in these playoffs. And Clement takes the first pitch and pops it up. Nobody advances. I keep saying how the Blue Jays are the kings of the productive outs. Here's an unproductive out just when the Dodgers need it. And then here comes Jimenez, who is maybe the best ninth place hitter I've ever seen with runners in scoring position in my entire life. And there's two of them right there. and the Blue Jays need them both to score on a two-out hit. And Glass now gets him to lace one to left field on a broken back that looks like this is now a tie game.

9:38But here comes Kike Hernandez in to throw a dart to second base and a guy who Dave Roberts puts into the lineup for game six just because he thinks he's bringing some juice. And Miguel Rojas, who makes an incredible pick of a ball that was dirted right in front of him to stay on second base and get that run-of-the-mill World Series Game 7 forcing 7-4 double play. I've never seen that!

10:17Unbelievable. What was Barger doing? Thinking that was a base hit off the bat. so lots of ifs and buts and candies and nuts brings about the game seven oh my goodness so max scherzer future first battle hall of famers starting for the blue jays and it's o'tani starting for the dodgers an interesting choice that i think had to bring up be brought about because the Game 3 starter saved Game 6.

10:55Rich Eisen:But that doesn't preclude him from Game 7. Oh, not by a long shot. And Otani starts Game 7 against Max Scherzer, which will be something, you know, in Cooperstown lore. Who started Game 7 of one of the most incredible World Series ever? Shohei Otani versus Max Scherzer. Unbelievable set of circumstances. and the Blue Jays send Bo Bichette to the plate with two on in the third inning against Otani, and Bichette hits a no doubt about her straight out of the building, and it's 3-0 Blue Jays. And when you hit three-run home runs, you usually win baseball games, and I'm sitting there thinking, okay, the party can start now, except for the fact that, well, that's the Los Angeles Dodgers out there with stars all over the place and guys who aren't stars who can really play baseball and a manager who has got a magic touch oh and magic is in the building and owns the team as well so listen but it did feel like the route is on especially when in the next half inning in the fourth inning top of the fourth uh will smith leads off with a double freeman with a base hit runners on the corners after a bets out a one-out walk worked by max muncie bases loaded against max scherzer and who comes up but former blue jt oscar hernandez who sends a screaming liner to center and dalton varsho makes a gorgeous catch if he doesn't make the catch we have a tie ball game instead this means just one run comes in and that's all the dodgers got and i'm thinking okay okay, this may just be the Blue Jays' night.

12:49Rich Eisen:What a catch that was. And just when you thought, okay, that's kind of crazy. We're settling in. Jimenez steps to the plate. And was it Robleski was on the mound, right? He clearly tries to get hit by the pitch. He threw his arm at it. And then the next pitch, Robleski just hits him with it. And the next pitch, he gets upset. Like we're putting people on base just to prove a point. In a two-run game in the World Series Game 7, Robleski basically tells him all sorts of things he can do to himself and his mother. His grandkids. And family. Benches are clearing. We're playing the feud. And people are running out from the bullpen.

13:41Rich Eisen:Oh, I'm coming in. Hold on a minute. I'm making my way Clayton Kershaw and his dad bot I'm almost there what the hell's going on in the world series game seven that was crazy playing feud I loved it I got the blood flowing it was exciting yeah whoa another thing I haven't seen before in a world series right so then just when we're seeing you know hey we're within reach of a world series for the blue jays right and john schneider like looks across the dugout to dave roberts they too can play at the game of putting uh someone from previous starting positions into uh baseball games to do things out of the bullpen in comes trey you savage in the seventh inning.

14:36Rich Eisen:Walks Ohtani, then gets out of it with a double play grounder to end it. And in the eighth inning, here's you Savage. And just when you're thinking, uh-oh, Dodger fans are sitting here thinking, there's six outs to go. Max Muncy hits one to Quebec. Missile. In the seventh. It's now a 4-3 game. And we go to the ninth. and this is why you watch baseball guys you've never heard of unless you pay strict attention stroll to the plate and with otani on deck and one out and the blue jays two outs away and it's a three two pitch and you hear john smoltz tell joe davis and the rest of all of us listening this needs to be an action pitch what i mean by that is it can't be so far out that Rojas doesn't offer at it, and you put Otani up to the plate as the go-ahead run.

15:35Rich Eisen:He's got to swing at it. He's got to be close enough that he swings at it. And it is a spinner that's right down Broadway, and Miguel Rojas takes it out of the yard. Unreal. With basically one hand. And Joe Davis had the only reaction you can have while you're working clean, which is no way. He said that. By the way, Joe, you could say that about every single at-bat of this World Series. His wife was telling him that he was going to hit a home run, and he wasn't even playing when she was saying this. Listen to your better half. I guess so. Pies the game. Miguel Rojas. What's he doing in the World Series?

16:20Rich Eisen:I don't know. Just ask. Well, the reason why he's in the World Series is because Andy Pies couldn't hit. He couldn't hit. But that doesn't mean he can't play. Yeah. And he was being saved or something. Because bottom of the ninth. This was so insane. Wait a second. Blake Snell, your game one and five starter comes out of the pen. And this is the guy you're going to say, get us to extras. Because if you get us to extras, you can keep pitching, right? That's in theory. and sure enough, Andy Pryce comes running out of the dugout for the second straight game, be a defensive replacement in center field.

17:01Rich Eisen:And I'm thinking to myself, why is Dave Roberts doing that? All right, well, let's see what happens in this inning.

17:08Rich Eisen:Unbelievable. I can't get enough of just going blow by blow here. So Snell gets Vlad Guerrero to fly out. I mean, Snell versus Guerrero Jr. had epic moment written all over it. And certainly since the first pitch that Snell threw in his previous outing was yanked out of the park by Davis Schneider, and then the next at-bat by the guy at the plate to try and tie the game and send Canada into a frenzy that this thing's not over. Or that it is over. You know, that we're not going extras. This is not going to go 18 innings. And he flies out to center. Bo Bichette singles to left. Now you know at this point in time what's going to happen here.

17:52Okay?

17:53Rich Eisen:There's going to be a pinch runner because he can't run at all. As a matter of fact, there was a base hit earlier in the game on two outs. And he couldn't advance. Yeah. So who's at the plate but Mr. Barger himself? And with Isaiah Kiner-Falefa on first, Barger walks and IKF goes to second. then Alejandro Kirk once again hit by a pitch and the bases are loaded and you're like this is the end of the moment but this is to be honest with you unbelievably this is the moment that Dave Roberts inserts Andy Paz into center field in the middle of the inning guys and Dalton Vars shows at the plate all he's got to do is put the ball in play with the infield in and hit it hard somewhere not right at anybody and who does he hit it to to Rojas who looks like he bobbles it and stumbles and I'm thinking this World Series is over and he throws to the plate and ikf for some reason slides in with his feet this is a force play at home run through the plate run run through it or slide with your hand you've got your mitt on slide with your right hand and he's ruled out at the plate the replay at first blush the first thing i saw was will smith's right foot off the plate i'm like are we going to see the most 21st century moment ever that a World Series is clinched and won on a replay reversal.

19:38Rich Eisen:That was in the ether until you saw Smith's foot tap back on the plate before, for whatever reason, IKF sliding into home with his foot. Instead of his hand running through it. And with the dirt because of the slide, you couldn't tell where the plate was. You'd think it would be closer if he ran through it. You would have been safe. Sliding slows you down. Or when you look at the replay wide, TJ, I mean, we can obviously have an argument about it. We'll never know. Yeah. We'll never know. I'm not arguing. That's just a legit question. Running full speed. Full speed. By running through it like...

20:16You go to first. Like Jeremy Giambi once tried. Right? He was safe. Okay. I mean, true. But just running through it. Well, that one you needed to be tagged. This one had to be tagged. And when you look at the wide... Yeah, his lead. His secondary lead was non-existent. He was not. Again, Snell is going to pirouette and hit Muncy, who is in. He's infield in. You have full view of whether the third baseman's going back to third. He can't sneak in behind you.

20:50Rich Eisen:This is the nightmare fuel for Blue Jay fans. We're running through right now for the next rest of their lives. It's brutal. But it's not over. it's not over because Ernie Clement who just set the record for most hits in a postseason is coming up

21:08and he smokes one to left center and you can see Quique Hernandez is way too in to go get it and he is trying to basket catch it and you're thinking this thing is now over what are the odds he's going to basket catch it whatever those odds were were greater than Andy Paz who was just inserted running for his life from center field to Cole and grab the ball over Hernandez and make the catch while they collide. Look at that photo. I thought Hernandez was like out. While they collide. Look at that photo. That is perfect. You cannot get enough of this. That's what Podge should have blown up in his house.

21:54That needs to be in his house. Yeah, he should tattoo that on himself. Even better. You should get that tattooed, Jay. Quique Hernandez had the sound bite. Did you hear what he said? Yeah. He said that when Paez caught it, looked down and said, are you okay? And he thought that Paez didn't get it and that the World Series was over. And he's like, I'm effing all right. What are you talking about? And Paez basically told him, I caught the ball. I caught the ball. KK said I was just down because I thought we lost. When he came over to me, I said, do you have the ball? And he was like, I have the ball.

22:32Wow, I'm fine. I'm fine. We just effing lost. No way. I have the ball. That happened. That was insane. Two fourths extra innings. That was insane. Back to back. Back to back. More nightmare fuel for the Blue Jays. That was an incredible moment, man. That felt like, okay. I really thought it was going to be Dodgers are going to win this now. I thought it was going to be key K maze for a second. The way he was going. He was way too shallow. Well, yada, yada, yada. I mean, Will Smith homers. Yeah.

23:06Rich Eisen:And the problem for the blue Jays is, is before the Will Smith homer. And after the Will Smith homer, there was somebody in the game and it was the game six, a game two winner. This guy Yamamoto. and they have to look at this guy and say, oh no, I don't want to see you anymore. He had to have gotten drug tested after this, right? Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Bill, a statue of that guy. And sure enough, after the Will Smith home run, puts the Dodgers up, by the way, I believe in the 74th inning of action of the World Series. Wow. Top of the 74th is when Will Smith homered. and yamamoto is now trying to save his own game seven win after winning games two and six trying to save his own game seven w gives up a double to vlad guerrero jr who brings his hands in and somehow keeps it fair down the left field line i can't get enough about talking about this World Series.

24:14Rich Eisen:And with men on first and second, pardon me, with Guerrero doing what he did in this World Series, Alejandro Kirk comes up. And I thought to myself, with runners on first and third, do you steal here? Do you steal? Do you dare steal here? Because Kirk couldn't get the double play ground ball. And sure enough, Yamamoto breaks Kirk's bat in half. But Kirk had enough power to get it right to Mookie Betts. Right to Mookie. With an unassisted double play. And the most entertaining and wildest World Series, I got to say, I think I've ever seen comes to an end. The Dodgers become the first back-to-back champion since the Yankees did it.

25:13Rich Eisen:the first back-to-back NL champion since the Big Red Machine did it in the mid-70s. And when Otani signed with the Dodgers and then Yamamoto signed with the Dodgers, all of us were here like, how many World Series would it take to make this a success? Some of us said two, some of us said three. Well, guess what? They've got two. And they've got the team to go get a third. Because again, the stars are aligned. the stars are in their lineup and give it up you got to certainly when there's everybody oh they spent all this money and then they defer all this money and they do all this and they buy it well in the same way that phil jackson had jack and kobe after he had jordan and pippen you still got to have the guy or the lady depending on the sport to push the buttons give it up to Dave Roberts who by the way showed up in Toronto kept it light I think what he was trying to race and run the bases fell flat on his face in front of the whole team kept him loose he's the one who dropped Mookie to the fourth spot in the order and he got a two RBI single out of Mookie he's the one who starts Otani by the way brought in glass now at one point in game seven he's the one who dude I cannot if we get him on the show what made him want to put Andy Piaz in the game?

26:46Rich Eisen:What made him say you know what middle of this inning let's go put him in there. Miguel Rojas in the sixth game six comes up with that pick on the double play to force a game seven that he ties with a home run. Put in Justin Dean who knew the rule enough to put his hands up. Yeah that was incredible. He could have easily just ran over tried to grab it and then the play lived on. And he was the one in game three when Schneider was out of players that wasn't for him. He kept his guys in the game. Congrats Dodgers fans. This locks up Hall of Fame for him, right? I mean, plus what he did as a player, I mean there will be people who are like, well he had this guy, that guy, that guy, that guy.

27:29Rich Eisen:Still gotta win it when everybody's expecting you to. And they had a Blue Jay team who was poised to prevent it. It's a good team too. Dude, he pushed the buttons. They won both in Toronto. And that's my World Series review. It was awesome. What a series, man. It was so good.
