They're just hitting on all cylinders.
34:24
They really are.
34:25
You know, last year when the Dodgers swept the Brewers, the Brewers hit one home run.
34:30
This year they've already got five.
34:32
The Dodgers had six home runs in that series sweep a year ago.
34:37
This year they've got none.
34:39
So, I mean, that's a pretty stark difference, and it all starts with the pitchers, you know, especially the left-handers who were just deadly last night for the Milwaukee Brewers.
38:51
Nick, can you explain a bit why that happens in baseball?
55:11
And obviously, he's not the only reason the Dodgers are down two games, nothing.
55:15
Yeah, well, that's the thing.
55:18
It's not just him.
55:19
So let's say he plays tonight, and let's say he hits, and a whole bunch of guys elsewhere in the lineup don't.
55:25
They lose this game.
55:27
So, I mean, you know, there's no great option.
55:32
Josue DiPaolo looks terrific at the plate.

What impresses you about those two teams?

But Yankee fans seem to be very upset.
6:36
Well, you know, Yankee fans are sort of uniformly upset when the Yankees don't win.
6:43
But I didn't think that ball was going out either.
6:46
The Yankees really ought to think about doing something about fan interference.
6:51
They've had a couple of big time problems.
6:54
There was one with Mookie Betts a few years ago on the World Series.
6:58
And of course, there was a famous one against the Baltimore Orioles about what it was almost 30 years ago.
9:26
What are the Dodgers going to have to do to win this?
