The Los Angeles Dodgers will finally get the celebratory parade they have coveted after not being able to have one following their 2020 World Series championship. Although the series seemed destined to head back to California after the New York Yankees took a 5-0 lead and ace Gerrit Cole was dealing into the fifth inning, a comedy of errors led to that lead disappearing right before their eyes in the pivotal Game 5.

Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the never-say-die Dodgers’ comeback in that fifth inning that will go down in the history books, how everything went wrong for the Bronx Bombers after two errors opened the door for the game to be tied and why it was all but inevitable for Los Angeles to win Game 5 once the Yankees relinquished the lead.

Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about the impressive postseason from both Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts, why it was a shame that Gerrit Cole and Aaron Judge were a big part of the the disastrous fifth and the coolness factor of seeing Shohei Ohtani getting to celebrate a championship.

For the first time in 15 years, the New York Yankees won a World Series game and it couldn’t have come at a more crucial time in their hopeful championship run. With the Los Angeles Dodgers one win away from clinching their eighth title in franchise history, the Yankees' offense finally came alive to help them force a Game 5 in the Bronx on Wednesday night.

Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the Yankees staving off elimination in Game 4 with the help of a grand slam from Anthony Volpe, New York’s bullpen yet again having a great night, why Aaron Judge might be turning a corner at the plate and Paul O’Neill’s rough night throwing out first pitches.

Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about the bizarre fan interference with Mookie Betts in the first inning, how the Dodgers will try to close out the series again tomorrow night and preview Gerrit Cole vs. Jack Flaherty for Game 5.

When the Los Angeles Dodgers rolled into the Bronx on Monday night, they knew they would be in for a fight in order to take one step closer to achieving their ultimate goal. However, as quickly as the fight started, the Dodgers were able to land a big punch that seemed to knock the wind out of the New York Yankees and their fans.

The Bronx Bombers were ultimately unable to recover.

Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the Dodgers taking Game 3 in the Bronx behind Walker Buehler’s strong outing, give an update on Shohei Ohtani following his injury in Game 2 and discuss Freddie Freeman hitting yet another home run as the Dodgers are now one win away from raising the Commissioner’s Trophy.

Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about how this World Series has been a bit of a letdown with how the Yankees have played, the large differences in the two rosters that we may not have realized before the series started and preview the pitching matchup for Game 4, which will see Luis Gil going against a bullpen game for the Dodgers.

Coming into the 2024 edition of the World Series, we knew there was a chance we’d be treated to some exciting baseball, but nothing could’ve prepared us for what we’ve seen so far. With Game 1 ending in grand fashion and Game 2 concluding with a nail biting ninth, the Fall Classic is living up to the hype.

Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the Los Angeles Dodgers going up 2-0 in the series against the New York Yankees, highlighting the heroics from Freddie Freeman and the strong performance from LA’s starting pitching. The guys also talk about Shohei Ohtani injuring his shoulder on a slide into second base and whether we’ll see him when the series resumes on Monday.

Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake and Jordan try to make sense of why Aaron Judge is continuing to struggle at the plate during the postseason and give a quick Game 3 preview as the attention of the baseball world shifts from the West Coast to the Bronx.

The World Series stage has officially been set after the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers punched their tickets to the Fall Classic over the weekend. With superstars including Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, Juan Soto and Mookie Betts — this might be one of the most exciting finishes to a baseball season we’ve ever seen.

Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman recap all the action from the ALCS and NLCS including the epic at-bat from Juan Soto that ended with series clinching three-run home run in the 10th inning and Tommy Edman being named NLCS MVP despite being on a team full of All-Stars. Also, they give an early preview of what the World Series has in store for both teams.

Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys say goodbye to the New York Mets and the Cleveland Guardians after two extremely successful seasons that fell just short of the pennant. Jake then discusses running into Yoenis Céspedes at Citi Field prior to Game 5 and why there is a bright future to the Céspedes family BBQ.

When the ALCS shifted to Cleveland, nobody could’ve expected that we would get an all-time postseason classic in Game 3 between the New York Yankees and Cleveland Guardians. After a game-tying home run from Aaron Judge and a go-ahead homer from Giancarlo Stanton, it seemed inevitable that the Bronx Bombers would go up 3-0 in the series.

The Guardians, however, had other plans.

Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the epic come-from-behind win by the Guardians that saw Jhonkensy Noel hit a game-tying home run off of Luke Weaver with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, only for David Fry to homer and win the game, sending the ballpark into a state of hysteria in the tenth.

Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about yet another blowout by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS, this time in Game 4 against the New York Mets. With the win, the Dodgers are now only one game away from the World Series. Jake and Jordan wonder if the Mets have finally run out of gas in this magical run or if they can complete another ultimate chapter in their unlikely successful season.
