Ohtani’s best game ever sends Dodgers back to World Series + Blue Jays-Mariners ALCS comes down to Game 7

When Shohei Ohtani reached the 50-50 mark last season in Miami, many thought it was one of the best singles performances in baseball history. Little did they know, Ohtani would turn in an even more impressive performance in a series-clinching game that sent his Los Angeles Dodgers back to the World Series just a year after winning the Commissioner’s Trophy.

In this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-CastJake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman break down what may be the most impressive game ever played in baseball, as Ohtani pitched six shutout innings, struck out 10, allowed zero earned runs and hit three home runs en route to the Dodgers capturing the National League pennant. Then the guys talk about the Milwaukee Brewers’ unfortunate showing against a juggernaut like the Dodgers.

Also in this episode, Jake and Jordan preview the upcoming Game 7, which will decide the ALCS between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Seattle Mariners. Will the Jays with the hot bat of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. drive to their first World Series since 1993 or can the M’s win their first-ever American League title and finally reach the Fall Classic? The show concludes with a discussion about College World Series championship manager Tony Vitello, who may join the San Francisco Giants next season.
