Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Looking Ahead To The Rest Of The World Series With Eric Gagne

But right now I feel like, and I may be reading into this a little more than I should, I feel like the Blue Jays are capitalizing on the mistakes right now more than the Dodgers.

Would you say that's fair to kind of look at it that way?

In this World Series, has anything surprised you with either team?

When you watch these games, just to kind of get inside the head of Eric Gagne, I guess game over in this case with the way I'm going to phrase this question.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

Do you sit there and kind of armchair quarterback and say, hey, this is how I would have pitched to this guy or how I want to pitch to this guy?

Do you ever kind of find yourself doing that stuff?

So with that said, with a guy like Vladimir Guerrero Jr., what would your approach be with that guy?

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Looking Ahead To The Rest Of The World Series With Eric Gagne

The reason I ask you that question is I feel like everybody on the Internet, kind of like you were saying, is saying, hey, why are they pitching to this guy?

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Looking Ahead To The Rest Of The World Series With Eric Gagne

Why are they not pitching?

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Looking Ahead To The Rest Of The World Series With Eric Gagne

You know, what are the why are they doing this?

It's tough, too, because just like like Otani, he's also protected.

West Coast Bias: Looking Ahead To The Rest Of The World Series With Eric Gagne

Right.

You got dudes around him where it makes it tough to really like it makes it harder to say, hey, four pitches.

Otani, I think Otani is a little bit of an outlier.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Looking Ahead To The Rest Of The World Series With Eric Gagne

Right.

He's left handed.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Looking Ahead To The Rest Of The World Series With Eric Gagne

Right.

West Coast Bias: Looking Ahead To The Rest Of The World Series With Eric Gagne

There's not a lot of dudes that really own Otani, like when you kind of look at it.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

And the analytics will probably say that Otani probably has less holes, not by much, than Vladdy Jr.

But even then, right, like you said, and it's funny that you say that, too.
