The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

When I called this guy and said, tell me about your team, he said, we have the greatest roster in the history of baseball.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

That's what he said.

Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

And I'm not sure I believed it at the time, but the more you look at it, the Dodgers roster is ridiculously good, which, you know, you can do that when you spend this kind of money.

Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

Their starting pitching right now is so preposterously overpowering.

Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

I don't know how anybody gets a hit off of them.

Blake Snell just finished.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

Two straight starts in which he pitched six innings and allowed one hit or less.

Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

No pitcher's ever done that twice in their postseason career.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

He did it in back-to-back starts.

And then Yamamoto, who is incredibly good, came out and threw a complete game.

Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

And Tyler Glass now, nobody can hit him when he's right.
